CHAPTER IV, SECTION 2 expendable buildings or were set up without only part of the Fred load could be supplied housing. Figure 4-20 indicates the building used at Nan to house the power and distillation plant. by the Elmer plant; it was therefore necessary The following power plants were expended during test operations: Complete operating and production records of all fixed installations were maintained and reported monthly to the AEC. Power consumption for the entire operation is shown graphically in Figure 4-21 for Eniwetok Atoll and in Figure 4-22 for Bikini Atoll.

Five units Fox Camp....................Two units A fourth 1000 K.W. generating unit with necessary switchboards and auxiliary machinery was installed in the CMR plant at Elmer. A submarine cable was then laid between this plant and site Fred so that the power load of that site could be partially carried by the Elmer plant. Due to the power demands at both Elmer and Fred during the operational phase, Figure 4-20. to operate the Fred plant throughout the operation to carry a share of the load. For reasons of economy, electrical power distribution was generally made through overhead lines on sites Elmer and Fred. A sub- marine cable was required between these sites, however, and underground cables were used at all other sites for scientific reasons. For the transfer of power over the submarine cable, the generated 2400 volts was first stepped up to 4160 volts and then stepped down to 2400 Camp Power and Distillation Plant - Site Nan Page 4-27
