number for this Operation. It was necessary to
remove the earth cover over the station prior
to effecting rehabilitation.
A cooling and ventilating system with a
capacity of 1,500 CFM and a 1,000 gallon tank
for storing generator fuel were installed inside
the station. The existing sump was used and a
new 150 gpm sump pumpwasinstalled.
Electrical work included relocating ten existing 214” conduits and installing 34 new 214”
conduits and two new 6” conduits from the side
of Station 2201 to CASTLE Station 2211. The
existing electrical panel was relocated from
Room B to the Utility corridor. Three new electrical receptacles that were duplicates of the existing receptacles were installed in Room B.
Cope trays, 12” x 25”, were suspended 12”
below the ceiling in Rooms A and B. Power
was supplied from the main powerhouse through
a 150 KW transformer. Auxiliary power was
provided by one 35 KW and a 10 KW Diesel
generator with a manually operated transfer
switch.
A 16’ x 32’ type B2 tent was erected on an
existing concrete slab. A 200-amp, 3-pole breaker
was added to the main utility power panel. The
breaker was to open at H-minus one minute by
EG&Gsignal.

This was a generator station consisting of
one 10 KW, 220-volt, 3-phase generator and one
35 KW, 220-volt, 3-phase generator for instrument power of Station 2200. Voltage regulation of the generators was required to be
within approximately one per cent accuracy
and their locations had to be within 50° from
Station 2200. The station had two concrete
wing walls for retaining sand as protection
and a 6’-high x 6’-thick concrete curtain wall
to electrically shield the utility power from the
instrument power. In addition, the generators
were required to have a remote control panel in
Station 2200.
A delay in construction was experienced
due to difficulties connected with receiving
electrical equipment.

Station 2211 was a generator station containing one 10 KW generator and one 35 KW
generator for instrument power of Station
2201. An engineering study was madeto deter-.
mine whether it would be less expensive to expend the generators or to protect them in a
shelter. If they were to be expended, several
additional generators would be required. As a
result of the study, a concrete shelter 14’ x 24’ x
8’-3” high, with a slab and roof 4’ thick, was
constructed, which had wing walls 85’ long, 21’
high and 3’-6” thick. A 4’x6’-high 6”-thick
concrete wall to electrically shield utility power
from instrument power was also provided. Voltage regulation within one per cent was required.
A remote control panel was located in Station
2201. A total of 382 cubic yards of concrete was
poured.

These stations consisted of concrete foundations 5’ x 8’-4” and 3’ thick which were required to support detectors with a load distributed into three bearing surfaces, each approximately 240 inches square and supporting a 6.7
kip load. To the rear of each foundation was a
5’ x 4’ x 2’ deep copper-lined capacitor pit with
four 3” galvanized pipe sleeves 6” on center and
8” above the floor of the pit. Anchor bolts in
