SSES-FSAR HISTORICAL INFORMATION HISTORICAL INFORMATION Rev. 53, 04/99 1.4-1 1.4 IDENTIFICATION OF AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS 1.4.1 Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (APPLICANT)
The Applicant has engaged the contractors noted below to perform engineering, procurement and construction services for the plant. However, irrespective of the contractual responsibilities discussed below, Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. is responsible for the design, construction and operation of the plant. A summary of previous experience in the field of power generation shows that the Applicant is technically qualified to engage in the proposed activities.
Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. has been involved in various nuclear projects for over 17 years. They include the following:
- a.
A scoping design study of a pressurized water reactor plant (1954-1955)
- b.
A scoping study of a homogeneous reactor power plant (1955)
- c.
Participation in the Pennsylvania Advanced Reactor (PAR) project, including research and development of a 135 MWt homogeneous slurry reactor. This was a
$9 million project, shared equally by Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. and Westinghouse. Twenty-four Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. engineers and operators participated (1955-1959)
- d.
Participation in the construction and pre-operational testing of the Homogeneous Reactor Experiment #2 at Oak Ridge (1955-1957)
- e.
Participation with High Temperature Reactor Development Associates in construction and pre-operational testing of the 40 MWt Peach Bottom Gas Cooled Reactor (1963-1966)
- f.
Participation in the HTGR Fuel and Fuel Cycle Development Program with other utilities and Gulf General Atomics (1964-1967).
In addition to the above activities various Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. personnel have attended Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology and have been taking courses in Health Physics, Radiation Chemistry, Reactor Safety, Reactor Core Analysis, Water Cooled Reactor Technology, and Fuel Management.
In-house capability has included nuclear power plant bid evaluation and fuel management program development.
SSES-FSAR HISTORICAL INFORMATION HISTORICAL INFORMATION Rev. 53, 04/99 1.4-2 Since 1970, PP&L has maintained Engineering, Project Management, Construction and Quality Assurance groups who are assigned full time to the design development and construction of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station.
1.4.2 ARCHITECT ENGINEER The Bechtel Power Corporation, San Francisco Power Division, has been awarded contracts for engineering, procurement and construction. Bechtel will perform engineering work related to the Balance of Plant (BOP) including the integration of NSSS systems and components. This work includes the preparation of mechanical, electrical, and civil/structural designs, plans and specifications.
Bechtel has been engaged in construction and engineering activities since 1898. Since the close of World War II, Bechtel has emphasized on electrical power generation projects.
During this period, Bechtel has been responsible for the design and/or construction of over 237 thermal generating units, representing more than 118,000,000 kW of new generating capacity. Of this number, a nuclear capacity of more than 69,000,000 kW has been or is being engineered.
The ratings of thermal generating plants designed by Bechtel range up to 1,470,000 kW per unit and include most types of station designs and arrangements, such as reheat and non-reheat, indoor and outdoor stations, single and multiple units, and wide ranges of steam conditions up to 3500 psig, covered design, construction, startup, site surveys, license applications, feasibility studies, and equipment procurement.
1.4.3 NUCLEAR STEAM SUPPLY SYSTEM The General Electric Company (GE) was has been awarded the contracts to design, fabricate, and deliver the direct cycle boiling water nuclear steam supply system, to fabricate the first core of nuclear fuel, and to provide technical direction of installation, and startup of this equipment. GE has engaged in the development, design, construction and operation of boiling water reactors since 1955. Table 1.4-1 lists over 90 GE reactors completed, under construction, or on order. Thus, GE has substantial experience, knowledge, and capability to design, manufacture, and furnish technical assistance for the installation and startup of reactors.
1.4.4 TURBINE-GENERATOR VENDOR General Electric Company designed, fabricated, and delivered the turbine-generator for the plant. GE also provides technical assistance for the installation and startup for this equipment.
SSES-FSAR HISTORICAL INFORMATION HISTORICAL INFORMATION Rev. 53, 04/99 1.4-3 General Electric Company has a long history in the application of turbine-generators in nuclear power stations, dating back to the inception of nuclear facilities for the production of electrical power. GE also has extensive design, development, and installation experience on similar turbine-generator units used in non-nuclear power plants.
1.4.5 OTHER CONSULTANTS Dames & Moore (D&M) Consultants have been responsible for the review and utilization of on-site meteorological data to perform short and long-term diffuser analysis which determine relative concentrations to the expected from normal plant operations. D&M have also performed geology and hydrology surveys of the Susquehanna SES site and vicinity for PP&L. D&M has performed similar services for other nuclear facilities.
Radiation Management Corporation (RMC) is a service organization which has performed the Appendix I dose calculations, performed the investigational phase of the radiological monitoring program, and will provide medical consulting services defined in the signed agreement letter contained in the Emergency Plan RMC has performed similar services for other nuclear facilities.
