The ATTAP aims at proving the performance and life of structural ceramic components in the hot gas path of an automotive gas turbine engine. This Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored, NASA-managed program is being addressed by a General Motors (GM) team drawing expertise from the Advanced Engineering Staff (AES) and from Allison. The program includes design, process development and fabrication, rig and engine testing, and iterative development of selected key ceramic components for the AGT-5 engine. A reference powertrain design (RPD) based on this engine predicts acceleration, driveability, and fuel economy characteristics exceeding those of both current engines and the DOE goals. A low-apsect-ratio ceramic turbine rotor design has been successfully engine-demonstrated at 2200°F and 100% speed, including survival of impact and other hostile flow path conditions. Turbine flow path components have been designed for the 2500°F cycle, using improved monolithic ceramics targeted for Year 2 fabrication. Major development/fabrication efforts have been subcontracted at Carborundum, GTE Labs, Corning Glass, Garrett Ceramic Components, and Manville. Feasibility studies were initiated with Ceramics Process Systems and Drexel University.

The Department of Energy, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management expects to begin transporting spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to the federal repository being developed at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, when it begins operations in 2010. A review of past transport acquisition activities is given. The strategy, and approach used to acquire private sector supplied equipment and services for the necessary transport activities are described and discussed.

Subject Infrastructure aims. Significance The government on April 5 announced energy infrastructure investments as part of a post-COVID-19 economic recovery plan. These are believed to be second-phase projects from a previously announced infrastructure investment agreement with the private sector. The agreement aims to boost investment in physical infrastructure by the equivalent of 5% of GDP by facilitating private sector construction projects. The first phase of the agreement, unveiled in November, consists of 147 projects amounting to some 859 billion pesos (37 billion dollars). These are mostly transport, telecommunications and tourism infrastructure works, to be carried out in 2020-24. The second phase involves the energy sector and is believed to consist initially of 137 projects worth between 97 and 100 billion pesos. Impacts If feasibility studies for first-phase projects do not advance soon, investments could fail to materialise. The COVID-19 pandemic will strain government-business relations as AMLO has been criticised for his handling of the situation so far. AMLO is unlikely to ease up on his polarising rhetoric when disagreements emerge with business leaders, perpetuating uncertainty.

Due to the decline in oil prices in 2014 and the years after, Iraqi government encouraged governmental institutions to engage private sector in financing infrastructure projects that have been suspended due the financial crisis through public- private sector partnership (PPP) as alternative source of funding. However, the participation of the private sector in filling that gap was unpromising. Therefore, this research is conducted to identify the reasons behind that in regard the projects of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Public Municipalities (MoCHPW). 17 interviews were conducted as preliminary step of data collection where 13 major impediments have been identified and organized within a questionnaire that conducted with a participation of 98 respondents from public, private institutions and academics. Means comparison was used to rank impediments also nonparametric tests were used to assess the agreement level of survey sample groups’ respondents towards. Findings indicated that the poor ability to conduct PPP projects feasibility studies by government organizations came the first on the top five impediments as ranked by overall respondents, followed by inability of government to set timetables for payments due to the lack of future vision of Iraqi cash status as it is influenced by the fluctuation in oil prices. The Lack of political commitment came at the third place and the lack of clear selection criteria for private partner at the fourth place and lack of private funding came at the fifth place. The overall findings indicated that government must more decisive in dealing with and resolving these impediments to ensure the success of PPP in Iraq.
