On June 27, 2002, an exothermic metal reaction occurred during disassembly of a converter using a plasma arc torch in the D&D Workshop at the ETTP.

The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed issuance of an Easement to Public Service Company of New Mexico for the Construction and Operation of a 72-inch Natural Gas Pipeline within Los Alamos National Labora ory, Los Alamos, New Mexico (DOE/EA- 7409) (attached) provides sufficient evidence and analysis to determine that a Finding Of No Significant Impact is appropriate for the Proposed Action.

BPA proposes to purchase four parcels of private land that total approximately 125 acres located in south-central Washington along the Naches River in Yakima County. Following acquisition, title to the land will be held by The Yakama Nation. The goal of this project is to protect and enhance riparian, wetland, and upland habitats for the benefit of fish and wildlife.

The Proposed Action is to grant an easement to the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) to construct, operate, and maintain approximately 15,000 feet (4,500 meters) of 12-inch (in.) (30-centimeter [cm]) coated steel natural gas transmission mainline on NNSA-administered land within LANL along Los Alamos Canyon. The new gas line would begin at the existing valve setting located at the bottom of Los Alamos Canyon near the Los Alamos County water well pump house and adjacent to the existing 12-in. (30-cm) PNM gas transmission mainline. The new gas line (owned by PNM) would then cross the streambed and continue east in a new easement obtained by PNM from the NNSA, paralleling the existing electrical power line along the bottom of the canyon. The gas line would then turn northeast near State Road (SR) 4 and be connected to the existing 12-in. (30-cm) coated steel gas transmission mainline, located within the right-of-way (ROW) of SR 502.

The Department of Energy's (Department) Office of Basic Energy Sciences maintains four Synchrotron Radiation Light Source facilities designed to collect data on the structure of matter on the atomic and molecular scale. The Department refers to these facilities as "user facilities" because they are made available to a variety of private sector, commercial, and educational research entities and are, as such, major instruments for enhancing the nation's science base. Our audit focused on two of the four facilities, the Advanced Light Source, located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Both of these facilities generate and deliver soft x-ray and vacuum ultra-violet light in the form of beams. Scientists at Berkeley and Stanford are allocated beam time (shifts) to perform a variety of research. There are two categories of users at Berkeley and Stanford, participating research teams and independent investigators. Participating research teams submit proposals, assist in funding the construction of beam lines, and receive a percentage of beam time (usually 75 percent) for a period of three years. Independent investigators also submit proposals and receive beam time based on the scientific merit of their proposals; however, because the independent investigators provided no funding for the construction of beam lines, they were only awarded the time that had not been allocated to participating teams.
