FOREWORD
The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service

    The Steam Industry

    England experienced the energy crisis in the eighteenth century. Wood was the common source of heat energy in homes, industries and also in the transportation. The huge desire of wood for the iron industry resulted in the shortage of wood which led to stagnate the iron industry. Britain began to look after the reserves of coal as an alternative source of energy. While producing the coals, mines were dug deeper and at the same time, the water level filled the area. To pump the water, mechanical pumps were installed, but the process was troublesome and also expensive. To overcome this difficulty, Savery and Newcomen invented the steam engine. These both engines were inefficient but later on, James Watt improved its efficiency level by the addition…

    Steam Engine

    Throughout the Civil War, there were many people and inventions that positively influenced The Civil War, but none other than the steam engine. The steam engine was one of the most influential inventions of the Civil War and America in itself. Before the Steam Engine trade was limited and the American economy was doing very poorly. The causes of this were the rules of trade and the inefficient transportation. At the time between the 1700 and 1800’s trade was only allowed during the Day and was transported by a Wagon and horse which took weeks to deliver. The Steam Engine not only revolutionized trade and transportation, it transformed the life in which we live today. The Steam Engine Positively influenced America throughout the Civil War such as transporting supplies faster to Union Soldiers so they could get back to fighting faster, and also increasing the speed and availability of trade as well as strengthening the American economy.…

    Nuclear Power Plants

    • 437 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The question of whether the U.S. should have nuclear power plants is very controversial. There are two sides that one can take; however, both sides have their own share of problems. If you chose to not have nuclear plants, then eventually all natural resources will run out. The oil supply will run out relatively soon, and all other sources will run out too. The natural resources that we have now are still harmful to the earth however. The gas which we use for our cars pollutes the air and considering the amount of cars the are driven each day, it is ripping apart the o-zone layer. However, if the U.S. does decide to use nuclear plants, then there is a great danger of toxic waste invading our rivers, and also the chance of a spill similar to Chernobyl. As we saw in the Chernobyl video, there is great danger when using nuclear energy. If this were to happen is the United States, the risk of mortality is much higher because the area's in which there would be a plant such as a big city are very densely populated. Because of these facts, I do not think that the U.S. should renew its efforts to develop more nuclear plants.…

    Nuclear Power Plant

    • 274 Words

    I have herd of your recent decision to build a power plant in our town I personally wanted to make sure you knew the consequences and effects of this before you made any drastic decisions. Over the past decade nuclear power has been used as a source of domestic energy and this has been increasing. But did you ever think about the heat rejection, gaseous emissions, environmental impact, and social impact. When it comes down to the heat rejection nuclear power plants require expelling thermal energy, the different variations of heat need to be cooled off by something and most of the time water is the source that is being used which affect the aquatic life within these bodies of water. As well as causing fluctuations in flow rates of rivers. And for the gaseous emissions they come in different forms of intensity, they use diesel generators to back up the electric power releasing the toxic greenhouse gases along with the exaughst gases from the buildings, these gases cause things such as many skin problems. As for environmental impact in order to build a nuclear plant you need a lot of land/area which disturbs the natural habitat and has several other negative effects on the regions vegetation. The social impact is pretty much all of the things put together it takes over their land exposes them to radiation and ECT. These are just some of the many reasons why I believe you shouldn’t build a power plant in our town; I hope you take this letter into consideration and that it changed your mind.…

    A look into how a steam turbine functionsStacy L. Rousseau EE '03 At a time when energy is such an issue in our country, it may be surprising to realize that the major technology involved in producing electrical energy today was developed over a century ago by Charles G. Curtis: the steam turbine. The aim of a steam turbine is to produce the maximum amount of electrical energy in the minimum amount of space. Today, steam turbines produce more electrical energy than any other system. They comprise approximately 78 percent of all generation capability in our country. Their largest manufacturer is General Electric. GE put its first turbine into operation in November 1901; it had 500 kW of capacity. Now, steam turbines encompass well over 500 million kW of capacity.…
