COMBUSTION ENGINEERING INCORPORATED Combustion's nuclear power activities are of three general types:
- design, development, construction and operation of reactor systems; design and fabrication of nuclear components; and support of de-
- sign, development and analytical projects.
A summary of the company's principal efforts and accomplishments in the light water cooled and moderated reactor field is provided on the following pages.
'a
~
Naval Propulsion System During the period 1955 through 1960, Combustion was a
major contributor to the U.
S. Naval Reactors program.
The company designed and built, at its Windsor, Connec-ticut site, the prototype of a small attack submarine power plant.
This prototype (SIC) went into operation in 1959 and has been operated by Combustion as a naval training facility.
A second plant of this type was also designed and built by Combustion for installation in the SSN Tullibee which has been operated as a part of the United States nuclear submarine fleet for ten years.
In the design, development, construction and operation of the prototype system and the submarine power plant, Combustion's responsibilities included all safety aspects of the reactor systems.
b.
Boiling Nuclear Superheat (BONUS) Plant Combustion has been responsible for the nuclear design and for the direction of startup and initial operation of the BONUS plant in Puerto Rico.
The BONUS plant achieved full power operation in Septem-ber 1965 and was the first nuclear power plant in the United States operating with an integral superheating core.

The development and design by Combustion of a pressurized water reactor for utility service dates back to 1958.
At that time, the company was selected by the AEC to undertake the design, analysis and economic evaluation of a 250 Mwe PWR plant, in conjunction with an architect-engineer.
This effort provided initial technical and economic guidelines for Combustion's commercial development of the PWR.
Combustion's nuclear laboratories have been engaged in the development and testing.of fuels, fuel elements, control assem-blies, reactor components and materials for reactor application.
Particular emphasis has been given to U02 and Zircaloy cladding technology, involving both in-pile and out-of-pile investigations, The initial efforts in the laboratories were associated with submarine reactor programs.
Since 1960, the personnel of the nuclear laboratories have actively participated in the joint United States AEC - Euratom research and development program for fuels development.
In addition to these
- programs, personnel in the nuclear laboratories have been responsible for materials design activities for the HWOCR study and for pressurized
- water, boiling water, nuclear superheat, and fast br'ceder reactor systems.
During the period 1955 - 1961, Combustion was a major supplier of nuclear cores for naval propulsion service.
The company has fabricated the boiling and the superheating fuel for the BONUS reactor.
The boiling section of this core is made up of Zircaloy-clad rod type UO fuel elements fundamentally similar to those being utilized ik this plant.
The superheater fuel utilizes Inconel-clad rod type U02 fuel elements.
The superheater cladding is designed for an operating temperature of 1250 F.
Combustion has,fabricated and shipped many reactor vessels for utility plant service and for naval service.
Additional vessels for plant sizes up through 850 Mwe are now in process for future service.
The company has been fabricating nuclear steam generators for naval service for approximately ten years.
In addition, the company designed and fabricated the ten steam generators in the Hanford New Production Reactor facility.
The P. F. Avery Company, a subsidiary of Combustion, is a highly experienced organization with the facilities for manufacturing all reactor vessel internal structures.
The Windsor facilities of Combustion are equipped to fabricate and provide the necessary quality control for the fabrication of fuel assemblies, control assemblies, control assembly drive mechanisms, and other specialized nuclear components.

Combustions'hattanooga Plant includes a separate facility which is equipped and staffed to design and fabricate, and to provide quality control for large reactor pressure components.
The facility has such special equipment as heavy duty cranes and large capacity machine tools capable of performing work on large, heavy parts to close tolerances and fine surface finishes.
It is also equipped with the latest testing and quality control equipment, including a linear accelerator for weld examination.
Combustion's UtilityDivision nuclear activities are centered in three locations:
The Nuclear Power Department at Windsor, Connecticut; the Naval Reactors Division at Windsor, Connecticut; and the Nuclear Components Department at Chattanooga, Tennessee.
