A clean and affordable source of power is being demanded by our fellow countrymen. Not only is the cost of power an issue but higher levels of
pollution are further exacerbating the stress of the nation.
Our nation is facing ever dwindling sources of energy. With oil and
coal prices continuously rising and
our nation in a recession it is more
important than ever to seek a more cost effective source of
energy.
With the cost of building an entirely new nuclear plant now reaching into the billions it is more cost effective to simply expand
onto a pre-existing plant.
Introduction
The expansion of the Crystal River nuclear plant will include four new
power generators.
Consumers are demanding a more cost effective source of energy and we would like to utilize our nuclear knowledge to
help remedy this issue. The expansion of the Crystal River nuclear plant will include four new power generators in the hopes of increasing the power out-put of this plant
by 100%.
Tasks
What are some steps that will need to be taken before we move forward with any sort of expansion or alteration to
the Crystal River Plant?
Research the overall long-term savings of proceeding with the expansion.
Gather sound estimates on the cost of material and staffing the larger facilities.
Identify the necessary measures that need to betaken to compensate for the limited increase inwaste out put.
Implement tasks to complete the expansion.
