Incandescent lighting is used throughout the building to
lessen instrument interference. Power receptacles of 208 volts, 3-phase,
and receptacles of 120 volts, single-phase, are located conveniently on
each floor. Individual emergency battery-operated lights are located at
critical points in the building.
2. Support Facilities Building
The Support Facilities Building is located adjacent, with
access, to the Power Plant Building. The building is a prefabricated
metal structure (40 ft x 100 ft) with ample window area, and six doors for
personnel and equipment access. The interior is insulated and features
panelled walls and ceiling. Space heating is supplied by a forced hot-air
system. The building is also lighted with incandescent fixtures, and has
208-volt, 3-phase power receptacles, and 120-volt, single-phase
receptacles.
The Supiport Facilities Building houses the control room for
reactor operation (Fig. 10). An equivalent area would be required at any
future site. The balance of the structure and the facilities contained there-
in is designed to satisfy the prototype site requirements rather than to
simulate prototype installation. In addition to the control room, the Sup-
port Facilities Building contains laboratories for chemical analyses and
low-level activity decontamination, simulated heat and power load equip-
ment, diesel generator, furnace room, maintenance shops, offices, and
personnel facilities.
