The DOE project includes village PV power demonstration projects in Gabon (four sites) and the Marshall Islands, and PV-powered vaccine refrigerator systems in six countries. The AID project includes a large village power system, a farmhouse system and two water pumping-irrigation systems in Tunisia, a water pumping/grain grinding system in Upper Volta, five medical clinic systems in four countries, PV-powered vaccine refrigerator systems in 18 countries and a PVpowered remote earth station in Indonesia. This paper reviews these PV projects and summarizes significant findings to date.

Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: The objective was to study the distribution and composition of ferromanganese-oxide crusts in the Marshall Islands area. A total of 5410 km of 12-kHz and 3.5-kHz seismic-reflection data, and 730 km of 80-in/sup 3/ to 148-in/sup 3/ airgun seismic-reflection data were collected. This report describes the types of samples collected and tabulates the results of our preliminary geochemical analyses of the ferromanganese-oxide crusts. ll refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
