GAC-ANL TNS SCOPING STUDIES STATUS REPORT FOR FY-77 OCTOBER 1, 1976 - SEPTEMBER 30, 1977 VOLUME X ENGINEERING SUPPORT FACILITY STUDIES

摘要

The Ralph M. Parsons Company provided architectural-engineering services in support of the General Atomic Company in the next-step fusion program (TNS). Parsons, having long recognized the importance of fusion technology as a viable energy option in the country's overall energy program, has been actively involved in supporting fusion programs such as the conceptual design study of an experimental power reactor (EPR) facility as well as this TNS engineering support study.nIn this conceptual scoping study, Parsons has arranged a supporting facility around a baseline 3.8m ignition test reactor (ITR) designed by the General Atomic Company (GAC). During the study, Parsons conceptually designed and estimated the constructed costs of the balance-of-plant (BOP) supporting buildings and systems necessary for the ITR operation.
