FLOATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS Floating nuclear power plants (FNPs) are electrical generating stations

-of standardized design which would be constructed at a shipyard facility, using assembly line techniques, and ultimately could be-sited at offshore ocean sites or in estuaries and rivers. They are planned to be of conventional platfonns similar to the hull of a barge. Offshore Power Systems (OPS), a subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Corporation' filed an application with the NRC in 1973 for a license to manufacture eight identical floating nuclear power plants at a site in Jacksonville, Florida.

The first application for a pennit to construct and operate an offshore floating nuclear power station was filed in 1973 by the Publ% Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) of New Jersey. The proposed Atlantic Generating Station (AGS), consisting of two floating units (1150 MWe each), would be located approximately three miles off the coast of New Jersey, some 11 miles northeast of Atlantic City.

In early 1978, the Public Service Electric and Gas Company and Offshore Power Systems' agreed upon a three-year delay on the delivery of the floating nuclear power plants for-the Atlantic Generating Station.

As a result of this delay, as well as to allow for possible consideration of alternative rites for the AGS by the utility, the NRC suspended the safety and environmental reviews of this application until further notice.

In December 1978, PSE&G cancelled its contract with OPS. citino among its reasons the lower than anticipated growth rate in its generating area.
