R D on Hydrogen Purification from Gasified Coal (EAGLE). The objectives of the EAGLE project are development of an optimum coal gasifier for fuel cells and establishment of a gas clean-up system for purification of coal gas to the acceptable level for utilization for MCFC and SOFC. The budget allocations for 2000-2003 total 4.6 billion the 2003 allocation is 1,000 million. Work is sponsored by METI and the Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.

Apart from the prototype FBR MONJU, much research and development (R D) has already been performed to complete the design of the Demonstration FBR, sponsored by nine Japanese utilities, Electric Power Development Co., Ltd., and the Japan Atomic Power Company (JAPC). The R D included the development of new types of equipment for sodium cooled reactors such as highly reliable electromagnetic pumps and double-walled tube steam generators with leak detection systems for both sodium and water/steam. This new equipment is considered to become more important for the commercialization of sodium cooled reactors, and the 4S is adopting these technologies in its design.

The alternative oxide interconnects have been proposed for the 10 kW class tubular SOFC stacks by Mitsubishi Heavy Industiy/Electric Power Development Co., Japan (Konishi et al., 2002). The material is based on strontium titanates with the substitution of alkaline earths and rare earths, (M, M )TiOs (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) (M = La, Sm, Pr, Gd, Nd, Y, Er, etc.) (Miyachi et al., 1999 Nishi et al., 1999). 

The Hydrogen Fuel cell is a developing technology that will allow great amounts of electrical power to be obtained using a source of hyrogen gas.

Lead—copper alloys are the primary material used in the continuous extmsion of cable coverings for the electrical power cable industry in the United States. Other alloys, containing tin and arsenic as well as copper, have also been developed for cable sheathing in the United States to provide higher fatigue strength. 

Some additional methods of classification are under development that center on the use of lignite for combustion in utihty boilers or electric power generation. Correlations based on the sodium concentration in the lignitic ash (10), or soluble A1 concentration (11) are used. The classifications are often given in terms of the severity of boiler fouling. 

In the early years of reactor development, electricity from nuclear sources was expected to be much cheaper than that from other sources. Whereas nuclear fuel cost is low, the operating and maintenance costs of a nuclear faciHty are high. Thus on average, electric power from coal and nuclear costs about the same. 

Package Power Reactors. Several small, compact power reactor plants were developed dufing the period 1957—1962 by the U.S. Army for use ia remote locations. Designed by Alco Products, Inc., the PWRs produced electrical power of about 1 MW along with space heat for military bases.
