The objective of this project is the development of a preliminary design for a full-sized, closed cycle, ammonia power system module for the 100 MWe OTEC Demonstration Plant. In turn, this Demonstration Plant is to demonstrate, by 1984, the operation and performance of an ocean thermal power plant having sufficiently advanced heat exchanger design to project economic viability for commercial utilization in the late 1980's and beyond. Included in this power system development are the preliminary designs for a proof-of-concept pilot plant and test article heat exchangers which are scaled in such a manner as to support a logically sequential, relatively low-cost development of the full-scale power system module. The conceptual designs are presented for the Demonstration Plant power module, the proof-of-concept pilot plant, and for a pair of test article heat exchangers. Costs associated with the design, development, fabrication, checkout, delivery, installation, and operation are included. The accompanying design and producibility studies on the full-scale power system module project the performance/economics for the commercial plant. This section of the report describes the full-size power system module, and summarizes the design parameters and associated costs for the Demonstration Plant module (prototype) and projects costs for commercial plants in production.

The LOFT Primary System Motor Generator Set was analyzed for sliding and overturning during a seismic event. The assembly is located in TAN 650, Room B239, and is satisfactory against seismic loading.

A stress analysis of the LOFT Diesel Generator ''A'' Exhaust Stack was performed to determine its reaction to Safe-Shutdown Earthquake loads. The exhaust stack silencer and supporting foundation was found to be inadequate for the postulated seismic accelerations. Lateral support is required to prevent overturning of the silencer pedestal and reinforcement of the 4'' x 0.5'' silencer base straps is necessary. Basic requirements for this additional support are discussed.

Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, John L. Hill, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Authority of the Department of Human Resources to license or certify certain juvenile detention facilities under article 695a-3, V.T.C.S.

This LTR documents LOFT Plant operational, upset, and emergency transients, and pressure and temperature conditions as generated by the LOFT Plant Dynamic analysis model of the primary system for use in steam generator specification. The results of this LTR have been supplemented by succeeding efforts as follows: FSAR analysis - (a) loss of load during full power operation, (b) loss of primary pump electrical power, and (c) loss of site power; and LOFT maneuvering analysis - (a) +-10% step change in steam flow, and (b) manual reactor trip. The initial plant conditions considered may differ from this LTR plant conditions. Items are outlined to document in this LTR other analyses which cover the same plant transients. 53 figs., 1 tab.

The fission product inventory, fission product release fractions, and radiation levels following a blowdown into the test chamber are presented. Operating sequences discussed are based on present knowledge and are used for the purpose of calculating radiation levels at different times.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.
