Company Profile:
Three categories of uranium resources defined by the international community to reflect differing levels of confidence in the existence of the resources.
Industry:Energy
An appliance that is an enclosed compartment supplied with heat and used for cooking food. Toaster ovens are not considered ovens. The range stove top or burners and the oven are considered two separate appliances, although they are often purchased as one appliance.
Industry:Energy
In the context of the coal operation statement of income, refers to all payments made by the company attributable to reclamation, including taxes.
Industry:Energy
The property of a system or element by virtue of which its output will ultimately attain a steady state. The amount of power that can be transferred from one machine to another following a disturbance. The stability of a power system is its ability to develop restoring forces equal to or greater than the disturbing forces so as to maintain a state of equilibrium.
Industry:Energy
Uranium that occurs in known mineral deposits of such size, grade, and configuration that it could be recovered within the given production cost ranges, with currently proven mining and processing technology. Estimates of tonnage and grade are based on specific sample data and measurements of the deposits and on knowledge of deposit characteristics. Note: RAR corresponds to DOE's uranium reserves category.
Industry:Energy
Any material, consolidated or unconsolidated, that overlies a coal deposit.
Industry:Energy
In reference to accessible coal resources, the condition of being physically, technologically, and economically minable. Recovery rates and recovery factors may be determined or estimated for coal resources without certain knowledge of their economic minability; therefore, the availability of recovery rates or factors does not predict recoverability.
Industry:Energy
The ability of an electric system to maintain a state of equilibrium during normal and abnormal conditions or disturbances.
Industry:Energy
Overburden ratio refers to the amount of overburden that must be removed to excavate a given quantity of coal. It is commonly expressed in cubic yards per ton of coal, but is sometimes expressed as a ratio comparing the thickness of the overburden with the thickness of the coalbed.
Industry:Energy
Coal that is, or can be, extracted from a coal bed during mining.
