This report provides a summary of the evaluation results of a study conducted by the Boston Edison Company (BECo) project team at the Mystic Station. This evaluation of Unit 6 at Mystic made use of the guidelines prepared by the BECo team. These guidelines for generation planning, economic analysis, and technical assessment are provided in Volume 2 of this report. These guidelines reflect the project team expertise in the area of life extension along with the incorporation of lessons learned from the Mystic Unit 6 study. The summary provided in Volume 1 is based on detailed technical evaluations and economic evaluations provided in the following individual reports on the boiler, turbine-generator, and balance-of-plant components: Combustion Engineering, Inc., Life Extension/Cycling Study (dated January 1986); General Electric Company, Life Extension Engineering Evaluation, Operational and Component Recommendations (dated February 1986); General Electric Company, Life Extension Supplementary Data (dated February 1986); Sargent and Lundy, Fossil Plant Life Extension, Evaluation of Balance-of-Plant Components and Systems, Parts A and B (dated May 1986). These volumes are quite extensive and have been retained by BECo. Volume 1 provides a summary of the results.
