Research Vessel Operation (continued)
3.
The vessel will be based at the Kwajalein Missile Range and will require a dedicated crew.
4.
Altered FY 1978 plans can be accomplished through interim use of TIPI vessels on a reimbursable basis.
Due
now
the
and
the
to the sudden inactivation of the LCU it has been necessary to curtail the FY 1978 program, so it
appears that the current funding of 400K may be sufficient for the whole fiscal year. Otherwise,
amount was calculated to be about 150K short. Furthermore, the LCU was on loan from the Army,
final arrangements have not yet been completed as to what repairs will be paid for by DOE. Should
repairs be extensive, FY costs may still exceed the 400K.
In line with the above assumptions, preliminary estimates indicate that FY 1979 operating and maintenance
costs will approximate 600K. -An additional 200K of cost ts anticipated for modifications necessary to
accommodate acientific facilities and install additional life support systems.
In fisenl year 1980. modifications probably will be in the 25K range and costs for fuel, crew, drydocking,
supplies and other support, ore expected to approximate the '79 cost of 600K with on cacalation of 82
for labor and 6% for material.
