- Summary
- The technical and economic feasibility of generating electricity from solar energy is being studied. Collector experiments included heliostat tests. Hardware preparation and assembly constituted the steam generator work. The thermal storage subsystem research experiment, which featured thermal energy storage in a sodium nitrite/sodium hydroxide phase-change mixture, was discontinued. Analytical and design work on the electrical generation subsystem and plant integration progressed satisfactorily. (MHR)
