Lab on target with fossil-fuel reduction program With more than 25 percent of the vehicles in its fleet now equipped to run on alternative fuels, Fermilab is well along the road to reaching the federally-mandated goal of a 20 percent reduction in fossil fuel use by FY 2005.
Says Jeff Irvin, assistant head of Business Services Section: "We received
supplemental funding right near the end of the last fiscal year, through
DOE-HQ's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. We're looking
for a big impact in fossil fuel reduction this year."

From US News & World Report, September 8, 2003 The gods must be crazy By Charles W. Petit More than 60 years ago, G. H. Hardy, an English mathematician besotted with abstraction, wrote, " `Imaginary' universes are so much more beautiful than this stupidly constructed `real' one." Were Hardy around today, he'd find plenty of company. From astronomers peering out into space to particle physicists inspecting atomic innards, the more scientists study the universe, the more preposterous, random, and, yes, ugly it becomes. read more
Deputy Energy Secretary Kyle E. McSlarrow announced the changes Thursday at an Energy and Natural Resources Committee oversight hearing on DOE's polygraph test policy.

News Release, September 4, 2003
Good Morning!
On a different scale, the current accelerator shutdown provides a similar opportunity for collaboration across the boundaries of organization and routine. Yesterday at Fermilab we began a 10-week accelerator shutdown to accomplish critical tasks that will improve accelerator performance when we resume operations in November. The next 10 weeks will pass quickly, and to achieve all that must be done requires many skilled hands. Working side by side with Beams Division staff will be people from all over the laboratory who don't normally report to work in the accelerator tunnels. Veterans and newcomers alike will be collaborating on this complex set of tasks that is so important to Run II and to the entire Fermilab program.
Of course, times have changed. In those early days, the entire laboratory effort focused on one main job: building an accelerator and making it work. Today, our scientific goals are far more diverse. Our diversity is our strength, but it does not change the need for us to pitch in together when we have a job to do. That is as important today as it was when Fermilab began.

September 5 - September 8 - During this 72 hour period, Operations established one store. That store, plus an already existing one provided 22 hours of luminosity to the experiments. - The Tevatron suffered a quench while conducting a dry squeeze. - A ComEd power glitch hit the Kautz Road substation. - The total integrated luminosity for last week was 6.3 pb-1. - The seven to ten week shutdown began Monday at 8 AM, September 8, 2003 View the current accelerator update View the Tevatron Luminosity Charts |
