These functions are accomplished through the exchange of budgetary and planning information among program managers and through technical meetings/workshops on selected topics involving both DOE and major contractors. In addition, EMaCC assists in obtaining materials-related inputs for both intra- and interagency compilations. Six topical subcommittees have been established to focus on materials areas of particular importance to the Department; the subcommittees and their respective chairmen are: Electrochemical Technologies - Richard Kelly, ER-132, (301) 903-6051 Metals and Intermetallics - Matthew McMonigle, CE-231, (202) 586-2082 Radioactive Waste Containers - Alan Berusch, RW-22, (202) 586-9362 Semiconductors - Jerry Smith, ER-132, (301) 903-4269 Structural Ceramics - Charles Sorrell, CE-232, (202) 586-1514 Superconductivity - James Daley, CE-142, (202) 586-1165 Membership in the EMaCC is open to any Department organizational unit; participants are appointed by Division or Office Directors. The current active membership is listed on the following four pages. The EMaCC reports to the Director of the Office of Energy Research in his capacity as overseer of the technical programs of the Department. This annual technical report is mandated by the EMaCC terms of reference. This report summarizes EMaCC activities for FY 1992 and describes the materials research programs of various offices and divisions within the Department. The Chairman of EMaCC for FY 1992 was Stanley M. Wolf; the Executive Secretary was Alan Dragoo. The compilation of this report was assisted by Technology Assessment and Transfer, Inc.
