The seminar, held November 9, 10 and 11, 1983, in Nashville, Tennessee was sponsored by EPRI and conducted by Raymond Kaiser Engineers with the assistance of Meeting Planning Associates. Featured was the current status of the technology and real applications of prompt neutron activation analysis to the measurement of ash content, sulfur content, heating value, and most elements in coal. Papers were presented on Australian experience with Coalscan; experience with installed analyzers in the USA including the TVA Paradise Plant, the Homer City Coal Cleaning Plant, Utah Power and Light Company's Hunter Plant; Coal Fired boiler experience; and experience with on-line coal analysis in Great Britain. The seminar included an inspection trip to the TVA Paradise Plant to observe a CONAC installation in operation. The audience was comprised primarily of utility representatives, coal companies, engineering firms, consultants and EPRI and TVA staff. Twelve papers have been processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
