1. ARKAUSAS RMER & LIGHT COMPANY - TECICTICAL QUALIFICATIONS 1.1 GENERAL Arkansas Power & Light Company has over 45 years experience in the design, construction and operation of electric generating plants. Personnel of the Engineering Department of the Company have supervised and made final decisions on the design and construction of its generating plants. It has been the practice o'f the Company, however, to retain independent engineers to design and manage the construction of its generating plants under the supervision of the Company's engineers. The Production Department, which is a part of the Engineering Department of the Company, operates all of the generating plants with its personnel.

On November 1,1967, Arkansas Power & Light Cc=pany operated five steam electric generating plants containing a total of 11 units with a net capa-bility of 1,109,000 kilowatts, two hydroelectric stations with a capability of 69,000 kilowatts and diesel generating units with a total capability of 6,000 kilowatts, for a total net electric generating capability of 1,184,C00 kilowatts. At the present time the Company is constructing two additional generating units. Installaticn of Unit No. 2, a 550,000 kilowatt gas-fired generating unit, is scheduled for ccmpletion in December 1967 at the Robert E. Ritchie Steam Electric Generating Station. Unit No. 4 at the Lake Cath-erine Steen Electric Generating Station, a 530,000 kilowatt gas-fired unit, is scheduled to be completed in 1969 1.2 PARTICIPATION IN NUCLEAR PROJECT ACTIVITIES In 1957 Arkansas Power & Light Company, along with other utility companies, organised Southwest Atomic Energy Associates for the purpose of conducting research in nuclear fuels. Beginning in 1957 SAEA sponsored a research and development program conducted by Atanics International Division of North American Aviation, Inc. to develop infornation in a critical facility in the middle (epi-thermal) neutron energy region in uranium throium nuclear fuel.

This project was completed in 1963 In 1963 SAEA agreed to enter into a new research project for the purpose of investigation of an uranium-plutonium oxide fuel in a fast neutron energy environment . SAEA has joined with General Electric Company, the Atomic Energy Cc= mission and the Karlsruhe Research Center of the Federal Republic of West Germany to build and operate the Southwest Experimental Fast 0xide Reactor Facility near Fayetteville, Arkansas to carry out this research and development program. The facility is presently under construction and is expected to begin operations in May,1968.

In 1967 SAEA, along with other utility companies, agreed to participate in a cost study to be made by General Electric Company for preliminary design of the proto-type fast breeder plant of 300,000 kilowatts capacity.

23 NUCLEAR EXPERIENCE B&W's participation in the development of nuclear pcwer dates from the Manhattan project. B&W's nuclear activities are broad and include applied research to develop fundamental data, design and manufactare of nuclear systems components, and design and manufacture of complete nuclear steam generating systems.

The major activities and accomplishments in the water-cooled and moderated reactor field are surmnrized below,

a. Indian Point 1 (Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.)

In 1955, B&W contracted for the development, design, and supply of the nuclear steam supply system, reactor core, and related control system for Con Edison's Indian Point 1. This unit is a light water-cooled and moderated pressurized water reactor system rated at 585,000 thermal kilcwatts. The unit includes a separately fired superheater which heats steam frcm the reactor system before in-troduction into a 275,000 kilowatt electric generator. Indian Point 1 went into commercial operation in January 1%3

b. NS Savannah (USAEC)

BER was awarded a contract in 1957 to develop, design, and supply the entire propulsion plant for the NS Savannah. B&W's initial contract scope included, in addition to the design and supply of equipment and reactor core, the responsibility for safety analysis work, supervision of propulsion plant equipnent erection, crew training, and advice in fuel loading, testing, and operation.

Through later ancillary contracts, B&W personnel developed and directed the propulsion testing, startup, and initial operational programs .

B&W has continued to supply services in the areas of crew training, upgrading, and operation.

The NS Savannah went into commercial operation in May 1962 and has been in continuous service since except for a one-year enforced cutage resulting from a labor dispute.

The Savannah nuclear steam supply system is a light water-cooled and nederated pressurized water plant rated at 60,000 thermal kilcwe.tts.

3. BECHTEL CORPORATION - TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS 3.1 GENERAL The Bechtel Corporation, originated by W. A. Bechtel, has been continuously engaged in construction or engineering activities since 1898. Bechtel first served industry and government in railroad work; then in highway tunnels, bridges, dams, and pipelines. For the last twenty years Bechtel has been active in the fields of petroleum, power generation and distribution, harbor development, mining and metallurgy, and chemical and industrial processing.

The Bechtel organization has grown progressively to be one of the world's largest engineer-constructors for industrial facilities and for development of natural resources. Bechtel Corporation, its affiliates and subsidiaries, are engaged in world-wide engineering and construction projects. The Corp-oration is divided into eight Operating Divisions. The Power and Industrial Division, which handles nuclear projects, has design offices in San Francisco and Washington. In addition, major design offices are also located in Ios

~ Angeles (Vernon), and New York. Bechtel also maintains offices in Houston, Portland, Toronto, Montreal, Paris, The Hague and Iondon.

Since World War II, Bechtel has gained a broad background of experience in providing to the electric industry both engineering and construction services for power generating facilities. During this period Bechtel has completed, or has under design and construction, over 166 units totaling over 38,000,000 kw of thermal generating capacity. This includes more than 13,500,000 kw of central station nuclear power plants utilizing both boiling and pressurized water reactors furnished by all of the major reactor manufacturers in this c.ountry. In addition, in the hydroelectric field Bechtel has designed projects totaling over 9,300,000 kw of capacity, which encompass dans of all types and sizes.

The ratings of single ther=al generating plants by Bechtel range to over 2,000,000 kw. Included are most types of station design and arrangements such as reheat, non-reheat, combined cycle, indoor and outdoor and single and multiple units. The designs cover a wide range of steam conditions up to3500 psi,1050/1000F. Also, some of the larger units are fully automated and computer controlled.

Over the last five years the average amount of work completed per year by the Bechtel organization was in excess of $250,000,000; the current annual rate exceeds $500,000,000. The total cost of engineering and construction of the power plants is in excess of $1,000,000,000. The =ajority of these contracts include complete responsibility for engineering, procurement and construction, although several are strictly engineering design assign =ents.

3.2 IELEAR EXPERIEICE Bechtel has participated in a number of milestones in the development of atomic energy for the generation of electricity. The Ccmpany constructed the first Experimental Breeder Reactor for the Atomic Energy Commission at Arco, Idcho. The first electric energy from nuclear fuel was generated at this facility. The West Milton power plant, using steam from the Sub-marine Intermediate Reactor, was designed and constructed by Bechtel.

Electric energy generated at this plant was the first to be sent out over a utility distribution system. The first privately financed nuclear power plant was a 5,000 FM boiling water reactor power plant of General Electric and Pacific Gas and Electric Company - engineered and constructed by Bechtel.

At the time of its co=ercial operation, the 180,000 FM Dresden nuclear power station, now 210,0001M, was America's largest. Bechtel was engineer-cen-structor for this plant.
