Summary

This documentation also includes the 345-kilovolt transformers and the Terry Turbine Building (HAER CT-185-E).

Its function was to generate electricity using steam generated in the reactor. Equipment design was typical of contemporary choices in nuclear-fueled turbines and generators, and had turbine and condenser problems common to plants of this vintage.
