The purpose of this project is to design and construct a safe and reliable 500-m/sup 3/-capacity facility for storing and spill-testing liquefied gaseous fuels (LGFs) at Frenchman Flat, in the Nevada Test Site. The facility will be used to experimentally verify computer models for predicting LGF spill effects. It will be initially designed for liquefied natural gas (LNG), but it will also be capable of testing LPG, LNH/sub 3/, and LH/sub 2/ with some modifications. This project plan describes the design and construction of the facility, environmental considerations, site selection, cost and schedule, and the organization and management arrangement for carrying out the project.
