ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION FY 1974 Budget Estimates Plant and Capital Equipment Appropriation Obligations for the Naval Reactor Development Program for FY 1974 are estimated at $64,100,000 of which: $59,100,000 is for the construction projects listed in Section A below, requested for authorization in the proposed FY 1974 Authorization Act or were previously authorized and for which a request for appropriation is being made in FY 1974. $5,000,000 is for Capital Equipment Not Related to Construction justified in Section B below, requested for authorization in the proposed FY 1974 Authorization Act. SECTION A Obligations for Construction Projects: The projects comprising Section A, which are requested for authorization in FY 1974 or which were previously authorized and for NAVAL REACTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - continued EXPLANATION OF PROJECTS IN SECTION A 1. Project 74-7 General Plant Projects laboratories. $ 2,100,000 This project provides for minor plant improvements, alterations, additions, and minor new construction at Naval Reactors ་ In general, this project consists of building alterations, utility improvements, additions to existing facilities, and upgrading present facilities. The work contemplated under this project will provide continuity of present and planned operations, contribute to operating efficiencies, eliminate health and safety hazards, reduce maintenance and operating costs, and provide facilities to take full advantage of technological advances. The estimate is based on the past experience of the operations offices, with individual requirements as follows: The estimate for FY 1974 general plant projects is based on experience in prior years and takes into account new plant and In the past, work under general plant projects has included modifications or betterments to existing buildings and other 2. Project 73-5-h S8G Prototype Nuclear Propulsion Plant, West Milton, New York $57,000,000 This project provides for the construction of a full-scale prototype test facility to permit operation and testing of the nuclear propulsion plant to be used in the new TRIDENT Class of missile submarines. The nuclear propulsion plant will be installed in a submarine hull section and will be a prototype of the plants to be installed in the TRIDENT submarines. Related site buildings, process systems and utilities will be provided to support the operation of the test facility. The facility will be constructed at the Kesselring Site, West Milton, New York and will be similar to other Naval Reactors prototype nuclear propulsion plants. This propulsion plant incorporates a number of advanced technical features in support of the TRIDENT mission. A prototype of this new propulsion plant is essential to the development of the TRIDENT propulsion plant. The total estimated cost of this project is $125,000,000. $56,000,000 was authorized and appropriated in FY 1973. The |
