Table 3.3.6-1 examines these wastes by generator categories from 1998through 2002.Both the Plutonium Facility Complex (30 cubic meters actual versus 102 cubic meters per year projectedby the SWEIS ROD) and the CMR Building (13 cubic meters projected versus one actual) produced lessmixed TRU waste than projected because full-scale production of war reserve pits had not begun.Table 3.3.6-1.

Routine data collection for both gas and electricity are doneon a fiscal year basis, and keeping with the Yearbook goal of using routinely collected data, this information ispresented by fiscal year. Water data, however, are routinely collected and summarized by calendar year.3.4.1 GasThere was a change in ownership to the DOE Natural Gas Transmission Line in August 1999. DOE sold130 miles of gas pipeline and metering stations to the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM). Thisgas pipeline traverses the area from Kutz Canyon Processing Plant south of Bloomfield, New Mexico, toLos Alamos. Approximately 4 miles of the gas pipeline are within LANL. Table 3.4.1-1 presents gas usageby LANL for FY 1991 through FY 2002. Approximately 84 percent of the gas used by LANL was usedfor heating (both steam and hot air). The remainder was used for electrical production. LANL electricalgeneration is used to fill the difference between peak loads and the electric import capability.As shown in Table 3.4.1-1, total gas consumption for FY 2002 was less than projected by the SWEISROD. During FY 2002, less natural gas was used for heating because of the drought and warmer than normalweather pattern, and there was less electric generation at the TA-03 power plant as compared to FY 2001.Table 3.4.1-2 illustrates steam production from FY 1996 through FY 2002.3-14SWEIS Yearbook—2002
