This report period involved a continuation of efforts to complete the design and construction of the Sub-Scale Unit as well as identify the demonstration plant design. Work on the cold flow modeling final report and additional testing of the 2-D model was continued. Sub-Scale construction activities were under way. Plant piping and ductwork are complete. Wiring of motors, pumps and miscellaneous power equipment has been accomplished. All of the major instrumentation equipment has been installed in the control room and much of the connecting wiring is started. Construction of the SSU is 80 percent complete. Preliminary design work on the demonstration plant is described. Preliminary design is 80 percent complete and is scheduled for completion during the first quarter of 1978. Final design of the demonstration plant included issuance of Bid Packages for the I.D. fan, baghouse, mechanical dust collector and boiler safety valves. Specifications have been released for the steam air heater, deaerator, F.D. fan, feedwater sampling coil, foundations and reinforcing steel, steam sampling condensor, boiler blowdown coil and boiler trim valves. Architectural Services required for the design and engineering of the underground piping systems have been identified. Final design of the demonstration plant is 14 percent complete.
