Vice President Al Gore is expected to announce on Saturday, Sept. 24, the creation of an Energy Efficiency Training Center at San Francisco's Presidio. Intended to be a non-profit partnership between public and private supporters, the Center is largely the brainchild of Mark Levine and Stephen Wiel of LBL's Energy and Environment Division.
Scheduled to be on hand for the announcement ceremony at the former Army base will be the Vice President, Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt and Christine Ervin, DOE Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Ervin will have administrative responsibility for the center.
"The purpose of the center is to promote the transformation of energy systems around the world from their current inefficient use of depletable resources to a much more efficient and sustainable system," Levine says. "As the primary means of achieving this objective, the center will offer training to a variety of audiences, including practitioners and decision-makers from both the United States and from developing nations."
The proposal for the center was developed by Levine and Wiel in collaboration with members of the Coalition for the Presidio Pacific Center, a private organization dedicated to the creation of a global environmental center at the Presidio. The proposal calls for an annual budget of $6 to $9 million, with most of the money going towards the creation of educational and training material, the provision of training programs at the Presidio, and the organization of a series of "Energy Efficiency Programs" that would be located primarily at universities in developing countries.
"In the developing world, perhaps 70 percent of the harmful air pollutant emissions result from energy systems," Levine says. "Water pollution and land despoliation are also, in large measure, the result of energy development."
In addition to environmental hazards, energy use in developing countries also contributes to major health problems. Examples include the concentration of toxic particle emissions in homes from the use of coal for cooking. Developing countries also contribute more than 25 percent of the energy-related greenhouse gases--such as carbon dioxide--to the atmosphere. This figure is expected to grow significantly during the next few decades unless changes are made.
"We believe the primary factor retarding the use of cleaner and more economic energy technologies in developing countries is the paucity of institutions with skilled personnel in both the public and private sectors," Levine says. "Even in the advanced industrial countries, the deployment of cost-effective energy efficiency technologies has required highly trained professionals combined with significant policy innovations that also required trained personnel."
The idea for the Energy Efficiency Training Center began with an interagency task force that was charged with creating sustainable development programs at the Presidio as part of the plan to convert the former military base to other uses. This task force consisted of representatives from DOE, EPA, the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, the National Park Service, the Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The premier quality of light from the ALS springs from the high quality of the electron beam used to generate that light. To maintain that quality while the electron beam circles for hours through the ALS storage ring, a new "transverse feedback" system for rapidly identifying and correcting problems has been installed.
Designed by researchers in the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division's Center for Beam Physics (CBP), the ALS transverse feedback system eliminates horizontal and vertical fluctuations in the electron beam's path. Corrections are made so quickly that ALS users are always able to work with a perfectly stable beam.
The beam in the ALS storage ring is formed from discrete bunches of electrons rather than a continuous stream. As each bunch orbits around the ring, it comes under the influence of the electromagnetic fields of its neighbors. These "collective effects," which are also known as "coupled bunch phenomena," escalate until the bunches start to vibrate horizontally or vertically and the entire beam deviates transversely from its original orbital path. Coupled bunch problems also arise when an off-center bunch passes through radio frequency (rf) cavities--devices that use electromagnetic fields to energize electrons. The distorted motion of one bunch creates a transverse electromagnetic field inside the cavity that is transferred onto the bunches that follow.
"With multiple bunch beams like those in the ALS storage ring, once a problem starts, it quickly gets worse," says physicist John Corlett, who leads the CBP's Beam Electrodynamics Group. "Transverse motion can reach the point, in some accelerators, where the electron beam is lost. Though this has not happened in the ALS, a transverse flaw in the electron beam could eventually destroy the focus of the extracted light."
Walter Barry, the project lead engineer, together with Glen Lambertson, John Byrd, and Corlett, designed a feedback system that detects transverse motion at two points in the storage ring beam and applies a corrective transverse energy kick at a third point. This applied energy has the desired effect of straightening out the beam and restoring it to its original orbital path.
CBP director Swapan Chattopadhyay likens the action to what takes place on a pinball machine. "The system sees the beam start to oscillate and gives it a compensating flip of energy to steer it back on course," he explains.
The transverse feedback system at the ALS was tested with transverse motion detection at only one point in the storage ring. With the system off, deviations in the path of the storage ring beam were measured as high as 50 microns. With the feedback system on-line, the beam showed essentially no deviation.
"We know the system works," says Corlett. When the full complement of electronics is in place, he says, the transverse feedback system will be able to control the ALS beam when its storage ring is filled to capacity with 328 electron bunches.
In addition to transverse motion problems, multiple bunch particle beams in storage rings can also develop problems with longitudinal motion. These problems arise when the spacing between bunches of particles is altered so that bunches are either too close together or too far apart. Longitudinal distortions give beams a jittery motion that could prove especially troublesome for the B-factory proposed for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The B-factory is designed to create head-on collisions between beams of electrons and positrons that, like the storage ring beam of the ALS, are formed from discrete bunches of particles.
Corlett's group assisted a SLAC team headed by John Fox in the design and development of a longitudinal feedback system for the ALS. This system operates in a similar fashion to the transverse system, except that accelerating or retarding voltages are applied to individual bunches in a beam to correct spacing inequalities. Both systems are being used as prototypes for the B-factory.
"The bunch-to-bunch approach we take in designing our transverse and longitudinal feedback systems is extremely powerful in enabling us to correct coupled bunch phenomena," says Corlett. "Our goal is to stop any deviant motion before it becomes a problem."

and correct fluctuations in the electron beam.

LBL joined forces with other local laboratories, universities, and industry to hold Partnerships for Profit, an interactive technology transfer conference held in San Jose Sept. 7-9 at the Red Lion Hotel.
The event was aimed at helping private industry understand how to enter into partnerships with federal laboratories, universities, and research centers, how to establish technical, financial and administrative assistance, and how to know what technologies are available. Cosponsors included Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia national labs, SRI, NASA Ames, Bank of America, GTE Mobilnet, and the University of California. More than 100 companies were on hand to attend technical and business breakout sessions.
The conference opened with a presentation from John Clemons, senior vice president of SRI International, and introduction by Cheryl Fragiadakis, head of LBL's Technology Transfer Department. The evening's keynote speaker was Lee Mercer, former deputy undersecretary for Exports and Technology at the Department of Commerce.
LBL's Technology Transfer Department helped organize and coordinate the event on behalf of LBL. Technical and business speakers representing LBL were Ka-Ngo Leung, AFRD; Chantal Khan-Malek, MSD; Glen Dahlbacka, TTD; Dale Perry, ESD; Mike Vella, AFRD; and Raymond Gatti, ESD.
LBL's modular exhibit system was set up and staffed by TTD's Bruce Davies and Steve Hunter to meet with industry executives. Promising contacts were made with companies such as Chevron Chemical Company, Phytron Instruments, Sage Management Group, Ilex Systems, and Plasma Technology. Partnerships for Profit was produced and managed by the Center for New Venture Alliance, Cal State University, Hayward.

Department of Energy flags flew at half-mast this week by order of Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary in remembrance of nine DOE employees who were killed when USAir Flight 427 crashed outside of Pittsburgh on September 8. The employees, members of the Energy Technology Centers in Pittsburgh and Morgantown, were returning from DOE's Clean Coal Technology Conference in Chicago. The Pittsburgh employees were Thomas Arrigoni, Robert Evans, Steven Heintz, Timothy McIlvried, and William Peters. The Morgantown employees were Randall Dellefield, William Langan (along with his wife, Shirley) Manville Mayfield, and Holmes Webb, Jr.
LAWMAKERS PETITION O'LEARY:
Congressman Ron Dellums and six other California members of the House joined 25 other lawmakers in calling for DOE to boost its FY96 budget request for renewable energy and energy efficiency programs. The Congressional letter, which was addressed to Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary, echoed the sentiments expressed in an earlier letter sent to President Clinton by 38 energy and environmental groups (see Currents, Sept. 9). The Congressmembers and the citizens' groups are protesting a budget request that is reported to be significantly below the request for FY95. Signing the Congressional letter from California in addition to Dellums were George Brown Jr., Vic Fazio, Richard Lehman, George Miller, Nancy Pelosi, and Esteban Torres. All are Democrats.
Life Sciences Division Director Mina Bissell convened a workshop on September 1 to assess LBL's ability to lead a major environmental biotechnology initiative.
The workshop, held in response to national needs outlined by the University of California, brought together leaders from local environmental firms and state and federal regulators with UC and LBL researchers. The brainstorming session led to the creation of an executive environmental biotechnology working group that will be headed by LBL Deputy Director Pier Oddone.
Sally Benson, director of LBL's Earth Sciences Division, framed the workshop's opening discussion. "The environment is an international problem. There are many opportunities in the developing world to help them avoid the mistakes we [in the developed world] have made."
DOE has estimated that clean up efforts at its own facilities will cost $300 billion.
The scope of LBL's potential role in a major initiative appears to be broad, according to workshop participants. It was suggested that LBL's expertise could be directed to redesigning industrial processes to reduce waste streams, or developing methods to test new technologies. Near-term projects could improve sample preparation techniques, while longer term efforts could be directed toward evaluating human health risks associated with exposure to toxins, and thus aid the decision-making process in public policy forums.
It was also suggested that LBL, in concert with the Berkeley and Davis campuses, could bring considerable facilities and expertise to bear on solving the technological needs identified by the environmental industry.
The working group will be charged with finalizing an LBL Environmental Biotechnology Capabilities Guide, and determining whether LBL has the required expertise to serve as a catalyst for an initiative. The group will identify ways to foster interactions with the environmental industry, and explore funding possibilities to support such an effort. It is anticipated that an initiative would serve as the foundation of an LBL center for environmental biotechnology research and development.
Other workshop participants from LBL included ICSD Director Stu Loken, Mark Alper and Jerry Torrance of Materials Sciences, Nancy Brown of Energy and Environment, Don Foster of Engineering, Philip Ross of Chemical Sciences, Kam Tung of EH&S, Chin-Fu Tsang and Jiamin Wan of ESD, and E&E retiree Rolf Melhorn.
To obtain a detailed report of the workshop, call X6096.
Immediately following evacuation of the buildings, the emergency response teams re-entered the buildings to begin helping the trapped and injured "victims."

Tucked away in cabinets and closets all over the Laboratory are optical instruments that could very well need calibrating.
The devices in question are alignment instruments such as jig transits, sight levels, line scopes, and theodolites--tools used to measure structures such as particle detectors or accelerator components that are too large for hand-held tools such as calipers.
There may be dozens of these instruments on the Hill that are badly out of calibration, through no fault of the experimenters. Normal temperature changes alone can cause problems over time. And people may be unaware that the devices are giving erroneous results.
"It's a big mistake to just pull one of these out and use it," says William Thur, a mechanical engineer assigned to the Advanced Light Source. Using such an instrument could invalidate experimental results.
To help deal with the problem, Bill Baldock, another member of the Engineering Division assigned to the ALS, is offering a calibration service to all LBL experimenters who use optical sighting instruments.
The ALS has purchased a top-of-the-line Brunson Calibration Stand which can accurately calibrate a wide variety of optical instruments, such as K & E, Brunson, Wild, and Kern. The service costs about four hours of Baldock's time, with a quick turnaround in most cases.
Calibrating these instruments also complies with DOE standards, which are becoming more strictly enforced. The Brunson Calibration Stand satisfies DOE requirements for calibrations traceable to the National Bureau of Standards.
The calibration facility is located in Bldg. 25-154D. For information, call Baldock at X5649.
