NASA's Technology Utilization Program.
NASA's Technology Utilization Program is described, illustrating how it can be useful in achieving improved productivity, providing more jobs, solving public sector challenges, and strengthening the international competitive situation. Underlying the program is the fact that research and development conducted in NASA's aeronautics and space programs have generated much technical information concerning processes, products, or techniques which may be useful to engineers, doctors, or to others. The program is based on acquisition and publication, working with the user, and applications engineering.
An overview of the NASA technology utilization program
The NASA technology utilization program is described. The transfer of that technology is described along with the publications which distribute the technological information.
Driving Affordable Energy Through Utility Program Design
The presentation is aimed to teach participants about achieving affordable energy through utility program design. Learning objectives include: identify key utility program characteristics that support affordability and consumer choice; apply best practices in outreach, eligibility, and evaluation to improve program design; and evaluate strategies for aligning program design with customer needs and regulatory goals.
Manual for Getdata Version 3.1: a FORTRAN Utility Program for Time History Data
This report documents version 3.1 of the GetData computer program. GetData is a utility program for manipulating files of time history data, i.e., data giving the values of parameters as functions of time. The most fundamental capability of GetData is extracting selected signals and time segments from an input file and writing the selected data to an output file. Other capabilities include converting file formats, merging data from several input files, time skewing, interpolating to common output times, and generating calculated output signals as functions of the input signals. This report also documents the interface standards for the subroutines used by GetData to read and write the time history files. All interface to the data files is through these subroutines, keeping the main body of GetData independent of the precise details of the file formats. Different file formats can be supported by changes restricted to these subroutines. Other computer programs conforming to the interface standards can call the same subroutines to read and write files in compatible formats.

Verification of the EvaluateFlux Utility Program
The EvaluateFlux program is a post-processing utility program for DIF3D, specifically DIF3D-VARIANT which handles Cartesian and hexagonal geometries. The EvaluateFlux program was developed to allow users to obtain flux and power traverses through the geometry domain, and its initial purpose was to facilitate foil analysis by evaluating the flux solution from DIF3D-VARIANT and combining it with foil cross section data. The EvaluateFlux program can calculate the neutron flux, as well as the reaction rates, at any user provided evaluation point. It does this by identifying the spatial mesh associated with the evaluation point and then evaluates the polynomial based neutron flux moments stored in the NHFLUX file at that point. The output of EvaluateFlux varies depending on the input setup. The maximum output includes the neutron flux and microscopic and macroscopic reaction rates at each evaluation point. The purpose of this work is to verify the outputs of EvaluateFlux. Simple models that have hand calculatable results are first defined and used to verify the EvaluateFlux outputs. More complex cases are then added where a duplicate program of EvaluateFlux that uses PrintTables outputs of the binary files is used to verify the EvaluateFlux outputs. In those complex cases, hand calculations of selected evaluation points were also displayed to confirm the software verification. For all the tests done, the hand calculations agreed well with those calculated by EvaluateFlux. For the larger complex problems, the duplicate program that can process hundreds of evaluation points was able to identify that zero points within some meshes have large errors. This aspect was attributed to the truncation error on the input provided to the duplicate program and is not a concern for the accuracy of the EvaluateFlux software.
EvaluateFlux, VARPOW, VARPEAK, and DIF3DtoVTK Utility Programs for DIF3D (Rev. 1)
The DIF3D-VARIANT solver is part of the DIF3D code which was developed at ANL for engineering level predictive analysis of nuclear reactor cores. Over the course of the last 20 years, the DIF3D-VARIANT option of DIF3D has become increasingly more used because of improvements in computer memory capabilities and performance. This is beneficial to the users of DIF3D as DIF3D-VARIANT is able to apply both p- and h-spatial mesh refinement strategies in diffusion and transport theory. Given its greater use, utility programs were created to assist in post-processing the DIF3D output. This document discusses the basic execution process of DIF3D and the output files it creates but is primarily focused on being the manual for the utility programs EvaluateFlux, VARPOW, VARPEAK, and DIF3DtoVTK.

Federal photovoltaic utilization program status report
This paper is a partial status report of the Federal Photovoltaic Utilization Program. Selected photovoltaic systems, already installed or being installed by 24 federal agencies under the sponsorship of the Department of Energy, are described with both text and illustrations. More than 1,000 DOE-funded photovoltaic systems now are in operation providing an estimated peak power output of 410 kWp.
