CFCC Working Group Meeting in Bozeman

Results of Phase I efforts and plans for Phase II were at the top of the agenda for the 1994 CFCC Working Group Meeting in October at Bozeman, Montana. The 2-day gathering at Montana State University was opened by Scott Richlen, DOE-OIT CFCC Program Manager, who reviewed the work accomplished during the past year.

He said much remains to be done to ensure that CFCCs are commercially viable, including continued improvements in materials properties, manufacturing processes, cost reductions in raw materials, long-term stability, and performance.

Richlen emphasized both the progress already attained and the work yet to be done. He outlined for the 60 people attending the meeting a variety of potential CFCC applications and noted their potential for energy benefits, market possibilities, and environmental and economic effects.

The program manager also touched on several additional points, including

1. progress in working with ASTM to develop standardized test methods;

2. educational activities are being developed (see articles on page 2); and

3. new relationships are being cultivated with groups such as the Montana Science and Technology Consortium, Morgantown Energy Technology Center, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center, and the Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

The Working Group Meeting was hosted by Montana State University. It was organized by the DOE Chicago Operations Office and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
