Contracts which establish future prices and quantities of electricity independent of the short-term market. Derivatives may be used for this purpose.
Industry:Energy
A contract in which the price of uranium is not specifically determined at the time the contract is signed but is based instead on the prevailing market price at the time of delivery. A market price contract may include a floorprice, that is, a lower limit on the eventual settled price. The floorprice and the method of price escalation generally are determined whenthe contract is signed. The contract may also include a price ceiling or a discount from the agreed-upon market price reference.
Industry:Energy
Reversible exchange of ions adsorbed on a mineral or synthetic polymer surface with ions in solution in contact with the surface. A chemical process used for recovery of uranium from solution by the interchange of ions between a solution and a solid, commonly a resin.
Industry:Energy
A mirror that reflects solar rays onto a central receiver. A heliostat automatically adjusts its position to track daily or seasonal changes in the sun's position. The arrangement of heliostats around a central receiver is also called a solar collector field.
Industry:Energy
The pricepaid for uranium delivery under a market-price contract. The price iscommonly (but not always) determined at or sometime before delivery and may be related to a floor price, ceiling price, or discount.
Industry:Energy
Steel Works, Blast Furnaces (Including Coke Ovens), and Rolling Mills Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing hot metal, pig iron, and silvery pig iron from iron ore and iron and steel scrap; converting pig iron, scrap iron, and scrap steel into steel; and in hot-rolling iron and steel into basic shapes, such as plates, sheets, strips, rods, bars, and tubing.
Industry:Energy
A pipeline hub on the Louisiana Gulfcoast. It is the delivery point for the natural gas futures contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).
Industry:Energy
Prices of electric power or other forms of energy determined in an open market system of supply and demand under which prices are set solely by agreement as to what buyers will pay and sellers will accept. Such prices could recover less or more than full costs, depending upon what the buyers and sellers see as their relevant opportunities and risks.
Industry:Energy
Nuclear fuel that has been exposed to radiation in the reactor core at any power level.
Industry:Energy
A lighting conservation feature consisting of an energy-efficient version of a conventional electro magnetic ballast. The ballast is the transformer for fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, which provides the necessary current, voltage, and wave-form conditions to operate the lamp. A high-efficiency ballast requires lower power input than a conventional ballast to operate HID and fluorescent lamps.
