The planning and construction of generation and transmission facilities by utilities came to a virtual halt. With no guaranteed market, no control over the use of their transmission networks, no assurance of stranded investment recovery, and no assurance of federal remedial treatment, the economic structure of utility planning and construction of generation facilities basically stopped in place. 

The future of utility planning is uncertain. Good engineering judgment and technological advancements, however, will prevail as future system requirements are defined. 

Entry into a true competitive market suggests that the market will resolve all issues created by this move. Supply and demand will likely prevail. Full retail wheeling will introduce issues into utility plan-... 

Oxygen utilization plans will be prepared. This will include applications to potable water treatment, waste water treatment, lake and river injection and the use for oxygen fired incineration. The oxygen use sites will be selected and the volumetric requirements for oxygen at each site will be estimated. The estimates will be used to establish the location of oxygen pipelines and distribution terminal points. New pipelines must be installed for the transport of oxygen.

As for the module type high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR), the range of application as the thermal energy source is very wide because the primary coolant temperature at the reactor outlet is much higher compared with other types of reactors. Therefore, utilization plans in various fields have been examined. 

The RBJ Health Center is headquarters for the public health and community care components of the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department. Austin Energy, which is Austin s community-owned utility, plans to open the installation to the public as a demonstration facility and provide tours and educational programs. The fuel ceU is a PC25 system manufactured by UTC Fuel Cells, a unit of United Technologies Corporation." ...

This application of research reactors is included in the document for completeness and historical reasons. It is not expected that many research reactors today will have radiation damage resistance, or hardness, testing as part of their strategic utilization plan. 

This step provides a utilization plan for fuels (binary variables) in the utility system arising to a minimum of global emissions. 

Contract Documents. Documents that are part of the contract between the owner and project constructor, which include, but are not necessarily limited to the project manual, bid packages, drawings, plans, specifications, addenda, general and special conditions, schedules, scope reviews, site utilization plans, safety and quality plans and project procedures.

Remarkable advances have been made in the energy efficiency of electric utility plans because of improvements in the steamgenerating equipment and turbines. A method of expressing the efficiency of the conversion of coal to electricity is the heat rate, which is a measure of the pounds of coal required to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity. Of...
