Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7339847

The plan for energy RD and D summarizes the U.S. ERDA's current views on the energy technologies which the Nation will need to achieve longer-term energy independence. This volume identifies those actions that can be taken to implement the plan described in Volume 1. The document contains descriptions of the federal energy RD and D programs now underway, as well as possible future efforts. It includes financial data for FY 75, FY 76, and FY 77. The description of actions proposed in this volume represents the considered judgment of Federal agency management as to which projects are reasonable to pursue on the basis of information now available. The document is divided into five parts: energy technology programs, supporting technology programs, energy-related supporting activities, special analyses, and appendix. The following energy technology programs are discussed: fossil energy (coal, petroleum, and natural gas), solar energy (solar thermal and solar electric energy), geothermal energy, conservation, fusion power, fission power, and the nuclear fuel cycle.
