Energy program at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

The laboratory is engaged in developing energy resources, utilization concepts, and monitoring and storage methods. The report is divided into three sections. The first, geothermal energy development planning and technical assistance, contains reports on the progress of geothermal related tasks on which effort was concentrated during the quarter. The second section, siting of critical facilities, contains reports on geologic investigations in western Connecticut and areas in adjacent New york, development of seismotectonic domains, and fracture permeability in siting hazardous waste repositories. The third section, energy conservation and storage techniques, reports on institutional barriers to landfill methane recovery and the need for state legislation.
