OSTI ID:4823802

The Indian Point power station, located on the Hudson River 24 miles north of New York City, is described. The reactor is a thorium converter, and a considerable proportion of the output of the plant is obtained from fossil-fired superheat. The station has a gross electrical output of 275 Mw of which 112 Mw is produced from the oil-fired superheat. The pressurized water reactor has a gross thermal output of 585 Mw. Diagrams and descriptions are presented of the core, fuel elements, control rods, reactor, control rod drives, pressure vessel, primary coolant system, pressurizer, boilers, secondary circuit, plant control system, fuel handling system, containment and shielding, and auxiliary and supporting systems.
