The three public utilities serving the Tri-Cities area of central Washington State have entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the Department of Energy to explore the feasibility of a utility-owned power addition to the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). This paper describes the results of the design and economic studies completed to data, which indicate that the addition of steam generators and a 120 MWe power plant to the FFTF is both technically feasible and economically attractive compared to alternative power sources. 1 ref., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
