Project Baseline Assessment Report: Coal-Liquefaction Demonstration Plant

摘要

In response to a request by the Congress of the United States in H.R. 4035 of June 25, 1981, the Department of Energy arranged for the preparation of a comprehensive Project Baseline for the SRC-I Demonstration Project. The Baseline, prepared by the International Coal Refining Company, provides the information necessary for Congressional decisions relating to the extent of government participation in, and support of, the project in the detailed design, construction and operation phases. The Project Baseline is a documented reference position for controlling work and cost. It is made up of a documented design configuration, a documented estimate to perform the work, and a detailed schedule of the activities required to complete the project. All elements of the Project Baseline were developed within the constraints of the project criteria. The Project Baseline has been reviewed for reasonableness, completeness, quality, and consistency by knowledgeable specialists from the staff of the DOE Oak Ridge Operations Office and its Coal Liquefaction Support Contractor. The results of that review are presented here in the form of a systematic assessment of the technical, cost, schedule, and management aspects of the project, and an evaluation of the adequacy of the treatment given to environmental, socioeconomic, permitting, land acquisition, marketing, and commercial development plans.
