| pulsed power | <radiobiology> The technology of using electrical energy stores for producing multi-terawatt (10^12 Watts or higher) pulses of electrical power for inertial confinement fusion, nuclear weapon effects simulation, and directed energy weapons. High efficiency and cost effectiveness make it desirable technology for large energy experiments. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hydroelectric power | The generation of electricity using falling water. (05 Dec 1998) |
| stopping power | <radiobiology> The average rate of energy loss of a charged particle per unit thickness of a material or per unit mass of material traversed. (16 Dec 1997) |
| independent power producer | A power production facility that is not part of a regulated utility. (05 Dec 1998) |
| firm power | (firm energy) Power which is guaranteed by the supplier to be available at all times during a period covered by a commitment. That portion of a customer's energy load for which service is assured by the utility provider. (05 Dec 1998) |
