Traeger, R K

When the energy programs were initiated in the mid 1970's, Sandia management made a conscious decision to apply existing engineering expertise and capabilities in support of industry, government and university needs. A decision was made not to expend resources independently developing a panacea for the US energy ills. Consequently, exchange of information and technology with others occurred from the start prior to the ''Tech Transfer'' buzz words of the 1980's. The purpose of this paper is to briefly outline the Geothermal Technology Development (GTD)-supported Sandia programs. Then, the author will show how these programs interact with other energy programs; at Sandia. Finally, the author will discuss the overall Continental Scientific Drilling Program, its status, and Sandia GTD interactions with CSDP. 8 tabs.
