APPENDIX 1A TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS 1 FLCRIDA POWER CORPORATION TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS 1.1 GENERAL Florida Power Corporation has 68' years experience in the design, construction, and operation of electric generating plants.

At present, Florida Power Corporation operates eight steam-electric generating plants containing a total of 23 units with a net capability of 1,512,000 kilo-watts, one hydroelectric plant with a capacity of 8,h00 kilowatts, and two internal combustion generating units with a total capacity of 2,000 kilowatts (excluding mobile units) for a total net electric generating capability of 1,522,h00 kv.

Florida Power Corporation has under construction at the Crystal River Plant, Unit 2, which is a new 510,000 kv coal fired steam electric senerating unit.

1.2 PARTICIPATION IN NUCLEAR PROJECT ACTIVITIES Following the passage of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, Florida Power Corpora-tion, Tampa Electric Company, and Florida Power and Light Company joined to-gether in a, study group to evaluate the application of nuclear power in Florida.

d This group, known as the Florida Nuclear Power Group, engaged in an extensive study with The Babcock & Wilcox, Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co., and Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation on various reactor types.

Late in 1956, the Florida Nuclear Power Group employed the General Nuclear Engineering Corporation to begin conceptual work on a natural uranium heavy water reactor project to compete with fossil fuel power plants. In 1957, Florida Power Corporation and Tampa Electric Company jointly formed a new organization, known as the Florida West Coast Nuclear Group. This group com-bined its efforts with the East Central Nuclear Group, composed of 12 elec-tric utilities in the Ohio Valley area, to research a prototype 50 MWe high temperature gas cooled heavy water moderated reactor of the pressure tube type.

The design investigation for this prototype reactor revealed that the energy cost could not meet the criteria limits established as being economically feasi-ble. In 1961 the project was discontinued, although the FWCNG is still in exis-

.tence. Florida Power Corporation was a member of the Savannah River Study Group, and is currently a financial contributor to plutonium fuel research through the EEI - APDA program.

quality of work and speed of construction 1s unsurpassed. Projects which tie 3 J. A. Jones Company have undertaken range from the largest pover' plants, chemical-(']

(_-

plants, and ordinance works to textile mills and fiber plants. The list als o includes building of the gaseous diffusion plant at Oak Ridge and a considelable portion of the Hanford Atemic Energy Plant in Richland, Washington. The Company presently has assets of over h8 million dollars, a major portion of which is in heavy construction machinery and equipment, with nrojects underway through-out the World. A subsidiary company, Livsey & Co., Inc., functioning as the Mechanical Division of the J. A. Jones Construction Co. , is presently doing the piping and equipment erection for Florida Power Corporation's 500 MW coal fired Unit #2 at it's Crystal River Plant, the same location at which the nuclear units vill be constructed.

h.2 NUCLEAR EXPERIENCE It was mentioned above that J. A. Jones Construction Co. built the Atomic Energy Commission's gaseous diffusion plant at Oak Ridge which covered some 600 acres and contains 5 large process buildings, in addition to 70 other related buildings. The plant consists of two units, each 1 mile long and h stories high.

Other significant nuclear work consists of the J. A. Jones - Guy Atkinson joint work done at the Atomic Energy Commission Hanform Works under the General Electric Company's prime contract. With the recent change in manage-ment for the Atomic Energy Commission in the Hanford Project, J. A. Jones is still presently functioning as a contractor for the operating company. As a part of their work presently going on at this project, J. A. Jones has established an exotic metals pipe and tank fabricating shop with complete (7 acceptance of welding techniques and procedures by the Atomic Energy Commission L.) of those procedures developed in this shop. Special construction and main-tenance techniques were developed to meet ever changing nuclear conditions.

We developed and qualified special velding procedures for velding within Radiation Zones. Qualified welders for all on-site contractore maintained special fabrication shops for exotic metal processes, including aluminum, stainless steel, boron clad steel and titanium. Many tight production schedules were maintained due primarily to this capability. The magnitude and scope of this activity can be judged by the fact that the employment cycle has varied from a maximum of 1500 to a minimum of h50 during the span of this contract.

The construction activities on the Hanover Project during this period include:

100-N - Completion of Power Generating and Production Reactor.

100-DR - Production Reactor.

100-DR - Additional Water Facilities.

The above jobs consisted primarily of building co=plete facility from initial 3 groundbreaking to final acceptance by the operating contractor. Significant, however, is the completion of the 100-N New Production and Power Generating Facilities of an 800 plus MWe Reactor currently being used for tha dual pur-pose of Plutonium Production and the generation of electrical pow : for the Washington Public Power Supply System. Final comp ation of construction ite=s ,

design modification and pre-operational testing were included in this phase of work.

The Jones Company was asked by the Atomic Energy Commission to effect completion of the Plutonium Re-cycle Test Reactor in the 300-Area. This work consisted of complet on of the Calendria or Process Vessel involving special velding techni-ques and exacting tolerances. The work was successfully completed in our shops in advance of the scheduled completion date and delivered to the field. All structural, electrical, mechanical and instrumentation work was completed on this facility, pre-operational and final acceptance tests were completed. Our forces assisted on changes and punch list items until the reactor attained criticality.

Due to the nature of the work involved on past nuclear work, definite and rigid quality control procedures were initiated and maintained. Some of the controls and procedures were peculiar to the conditions encountered in radiation zones and included Radiation Protection Manuals, Mechanical, Electrical and Structural Standards not directly applicable to normal construction activities.

It is quite significant to note that the J. A. Jones Construction Co. and it's subsidiary, Livsey & Co. , have been selected by the General Electric Company to take over the completion of the work on the Jersey Central Power & Light, s Oyster Creek No. 1 Nuclear Project. This particular plant was 12 months or more behind schedule when the J. A. Jones Construction Co. personnel moved on the project to perform the work consisting of construction labor in support of pre-operational testing, nuclear fuel loading and startup, modification and repair of existing facilities and repairs or modification work necessary to effect the startup of the power plant. This is a major undertaking to salvage a construction schedule and this project is rapidly recovering toward a start-up in the next few months.

J. A. Jones has consistently ranked in the top 20 contractors by size in annual survey by the " Engineering News-Record." Our co=pleted work over the past five years has averaged $150 million per year. The average employment by J. A. Jones ranges from 8000 to 10,000 employees. Also, an equal number of construction vorhers are usually employed by our sub-contractors and supervised by J. A.

Jones. There are 1107 employees which are considered to be permanent.

The J. A. Jones Construction Company has for a number of years icaintained an enviable safety record. Among achievements in accident prevention, we received the following awards from the United States Atomic Energy Commission:

Award of Honor 1957, 1963, 1964.

Award of Merit 195h, 1957, 1965 General Managers Commendation 1957, 1960.
