Company Profile:
Uranium concentrate or yellowcake. Abbreviated as U3O8.
Industry:Energy
The period during which a generating unit, transmission line, or other facility is out of service.
Industry:Energy
All charges by the utility department against the municipality or its other departments that are subject to current settlement.
Industry:Energy
Estimated quantities of uranium in known mineral deposits of such size, grade, and configuration that the uranium could be recovered at or below a specified production cost with currently proven mining and processing technology and under current law and regulations. Reserves are based on direct radiometric and chemical measurements of drill holes and other types of sampling of the deposits. Mineral grades and thickness, spatial relationships, depths below the surface, mining and reclamation methods, distances to milling facilities, and amenability of ores to processing are considered in the evaluation. The amount of uranium in ore that could be exploited within the chosen forward-cost levels are estimated in accordance with conventional engineering practices.
Industry:Energy
The amount of power or energy produced by agenerating unit, station, or system.
Industry:Energy
Process of restoring surface environment to acceptable pre-existing conditions. Includes surface contouring, equipment removal, well plugging, revegetation, etc.
Industry:Energy
The property of a system or element by virtue of which its output will ultimately attain a steady state. The amount of power that can be transferred from one machine to another following a disturbance. The stability of a power system is its ability to develop restoring forces equal to or greater than the disturbing forces so as to maintain a state of equilibrium.
Industry:Energy
In reference to accessible coal resources, the condition of being physically, technologically, and economically minable. Recovery rates and recovery factors may be determined or estimated for coal resources without certain knowledge of their economic minability; therefore, the availability of recovery rates or factors does not predict recoverability.
Industry:Energy
The ability of an electric system to maintain a state of equilibrium during normal and abnormal conditions or disturbances.
Industry:Energy
Coal that is, or can be, extracted from a coal bed during mining.
