Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6307950· OSTI ID:6307950
This second in a series of annual reports on environmental control technology activities within DOE serves as a basis for evaluating program progress. The total DOE FY 1978 funding allocation related to environmenta control activities was $294 million, which corresponds to 3.3% of the total FY 1978 budget. Funding allocations for environmental control activities in the budget show fossil and nuclear energy technologies accounting for 90% of the total (26 and 64%, respectively). The majority of the fossil-energy-related activities were related to the coal program. Waste management activities demanded the majority of the nuclear energy funds. Conservation and geothermal made up 4 and 3%, respectively, of the total. The remaining portion of the total consisted of solar (2%), basic energy sciences (1%), and magnetic fusion energy (less than 1%). (MCW)
