Aerosol
Duct Sealing Technology
Now Applied to Commercial Buildings
Berkeley
Lab scientists have invented an aerosol-based system for sealing the
ducts of large commercial buildings. The Mobile Aerosol-Sealant Injection
System is based on the aerosol device developed here for sealing ducts
and reducing energy loss in residential and small commercial systems,
but it incorporates two new patented technologies that permit effective
sealing in the larger, more complicated duct systems of commercial
buildings. Duo Wang of the Environmental Energy Technologies
Division developed the technology, with assistance from Mark Modera,
who developed the original sealing system for residences. Full
story. |

Energy ‘Vampires’ Found
In Journalist’s Home
When
KPIX-TV reporter Bill Schechner wanted to find out if his
appliances and other electrical devices were leaking electricity,
he went to the obvious source of the research in this field
– Berkeley Lab. With Environmental Energy Technologies
communications specialist Allan Chen wielding the test
monitor, Schechner surveyed his home and discovered the surprising
results. View the news report (with RealPlayer software) here.

Yucca
Expert: Heat Will
Blast Away Moisture
By
Benjamin Grove
Metal
containers of nuclear waste are not likely to corrode in the
Yucca Mountain repository tunnels because the casks will be
so hot they will blast away moisture for at least 1,000 years,
Energy Department officials told a review panel Tuesday. Bo
Bodvarsson, division director of earth sciences for Berkeley
Lab, said that the tiny amount of water that could seep down
into the mountain and into the tunnels would be driven away
by heat for at least 1,000 years, possibly 2,500 years, because
the Energy Department is embracing a "hot" repository
design.

Safety
Forum To Focus
On Moving, Ergonomics
The
Directorate, Operations, and Administrative Services Department
will be sponsoring a safety forum on Monday that will focus
especially on how to move items safely and on a healthy ergonomic
work environment. All employees are invited to the 2 p.m. one-hour
forum in the Building 50 Auditorium. Speakers include Deputy
Director Sally Benson, Peter Lichty (cumulative injuries),
Don Van Acker (move smart training), and registered physical
therapist Steve Meagher (biomechanics of sitting). A question-answer
session will be included. |
