Stand-Down of CREM
Classified Operations
Secretary
of Energy Spencer Abraham has ordered that all Department
of Energy (DOE) operations using such controlled removable
electronic media (CREM) as classified hard drives or
computer discs conduct an immediate stand-down to improve
procedures for protecting such media. Under the plan,
each DOE facility will conduct a stand-down of operations
involving CREM starting today (Berkeley Lab doesn't
do classified work and thus has no such media on site).

for more information.

The Answer, My Friend,
Is Wind Turbines
The
Lab will host a half-day conference on a new series
of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) Thursday. The
gathering will focus on the "motivations, concepts,
and opportunities" created by this new technology. Installed
wind power is growing rapidly as the need for renewable
energy sources increases, say organizers. Berkeley Lab
has collaborated with other institutions to design wind
turbines. Go here
for more information about the conference, or contact
Glen Dahlbacka (x5358).

Berkeley Lab Adds
Ethanol Station
A new 4,000-gallon ethanol fuel tank in the motor pool at Berkeley Lab has become the first ethanol dispensing station in Northern California. This bio-alternative to gasoline will soon power up to 60 vehicles in the laboratory's onsite ethanol-fueled vehicle fleet. There are approximately 75 vehicles, out of a fleet of 250, at the lab that are capable of using ethanol-85 (E-85), which is a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Full story.
