BASIC OBJECTIVES
The primary goal of this portion o f Project M i s the pseparatisn of the master p l a n , specifications and purchase r e q u e s t s
from which t h e design and construction of t h e electric power
facilities can b e accomplished, These power faeilkties must be
adequate to serve the Two-Mile Linear E E e c t r o ~Accelerator in
producing a eontxolled and reliable source of particles of greatly
e x t e n d e d range of energy and intensity to ba u s e d by phyicists f o x
high-energy PeseEl%chs
DESIGN P O L I C Y
The general policies " c h a t govern a l l designs of equipment
and apparatus u s e d in this project a r e derived from the basic
sbfsctives of reliability, controlbability, flexibility, and
rninfnium cost over a t e n year period, This is t o be aecornpfisked
by providing apparatus, equipment and facilities according to t h e
following:
1,Ratinga based on realizable performance of klystron aaplifiers,
2, Apparatus adequate for b u t n o t in e x c e s s of t h e requirements of t h e project,
3, Division of t h e a c e e l e r a t o r o p e x a t i s p ?
into s e c t o r s , 4 , Conservatively engineering components designed
on fundamentally p r o v e n principles, S o Maw and untried circuits
and designs a r e to be thoroughly tested, Test facilities will
be provided for routine aperations checks, inspection, design
t e s t a and pC?+SOllnsl t f B . i n A R g m
7 , MilRFmuEl XIUElbar of d i f f e t p ' @ B t
ratings of sirnilas apparatus and a minimum number of s t o c k
parts specified, 8, C r i t i c a l elements designed f o r draw-out
and plug-in t y p e replacement, and easy transportation to
maintenance facilities outside t h e operating areao This h s
% o be accomplished without interruption aE %he accelerator
operation, 9 , Elements provided to be s s l f - p . r o k s c t % n g a n d
in c a s e of failure proof against i n t e r r u p t i o n of aecewciator
operation, PO, E l e c t r i c power apparatus in critical areas t o
be without insulating o i l , fl, C r l f i e a l equipment l o c a t e d
oukside t h e accelerator housing for puvprasas of easy servicing,
92, As far as p o t s a i b l e , construction at t h e initial atage 09"
the facilities will be arranged f o r total power requirements
of both S t a g e I and Stage XI, 13, Simplicity and flexibility
of controls and proteetive scheaes is essential, 14, The
electrical power system will be supervised from B main c o n t r o l
areao PS, A l l equipment 9 s to be o p e r a t e d on a 24 hours per
day, 7 day per week basis,
16, Ducal e l e c t r i c a l power spxppliea
will be provided t o major elements where the supply lines have
queetionable reliability,
