Company Profile:
Components that are not associated with a particular fuel. These include, but are not limited to, control spiders, burnable poison rod assemblies, control rodelements, thimble plugs, fission chambers, primary and secondary neutron sources, and BWR (boiling water reactor) channels.
Industry:Energy
Reserves or resources for which tonnage and grade are computed partly from specific measurements, samples, or production data and partly from projection for a reasonable distance on the basis of geological evidence. The sites available are too widely or otherwise in appropriately spaced to permit the mineral bodies to be outlined completely or the grade established throughout.
Industry:Energy
The shippable product of a coal mine or preparation plant. Depending on customer specifications, salable coal may be run-of-mine, crushed-and-screened (sized) coal, or the clean coal yield from a preparation plant.
Industry:Energy
A circuit connecting two Balancing Authority Areas. Also, describes circuits within an individual electrical system.
Industry:Energy
That geographic area that lies seaward ofthe coastline. In general, the coastline is the line of ordinary low water along with that portion of the coast that is in direct contact with the open sea or the line marking the seaward limit of inland water. If a state agency uses a different basis for classifying onshore and offshore areas, the state classification should be used (e.g., Cook Inlet in Alaska is classified as offshore; for Louisiana, the coastline is defined as the Chapman Line, as modified by subsequent adjudication).
Industry:Energy
A mixture of propane and air resulting in a gaseous fuel suitable for pipeline distribution.
Industry:Energy
Flat pieces of weather proof material laid with others in a series of overlapping rows as covering for roofsand sometimes the sides of buildings. Shakes are similar to wood shingles, but instead of having a cut and smoothly planed surface, shakes have textured grooves and a rough or "split" appearance to give arustic feeling.
Industry:Energy
Any contractual agreement for the transportation of natural and/or supplemental gas between points for a fee.
Industry:Energy
Use of energy as feedstock or raw material input.
Industry:Energy
Estimated quantities of energy sources that, on the basis of geologic evidence that supports projections from proved reserves, can reasonably be expected to exist and be recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions. Site information is insufficient to establish with confidence the location, quality, and grades of the energy source. Note: This term is equivalent to "Indicated Reserves" as defined in the resource/reserve classification contained in the U.S. Geological Survey Circular 831, 1980. Measured and indicated reserves, when combined, constitute demonstrated reserves.
