Common use of Auxiliary Building Clause in Contracts

Auxiliary Building. The Auxiliary Building is a reinforced concrete structure which houses both pollution control and production related equipment. Pollution control facilities located in the Auxiliary Building include portions of the liquid radwaste and gaseous radwaste systems. The cost of the Auxiliary Building and general support equipment has been allocated to the exempt facilities according to the ratio of space used for qualified equipment to the total space used in the building for all equipment. Spent Nuclear Fuel Facility The Spent Nuclear Fuel Facility is located in a separate building with enclosed fuel handling equipment for production functions and for spent fuel storage. The fuel handling facility includes a Seismic Category 1 structure containing a spent fuel pool with racks, spent fuel cooling and purification systems, a new fuel storage area, a spent fuel cask loading pit, and a cask washdown area. Also included are cranes and equipment supporting the fuel handling operations as well as the transfer canal leading the reactor containment. The cost of the Spent Nuclear Fuel Facility is determined through an allocation of the cost of the overall fuel facility between spent fuel facilities and production facilities. Circulating Water System The Circulating Water System will provide cooling water to the main condensers of Seabrook Station. The Circulating Water System is a once-through system using sea water from the Atlantic Ocean to remove the heat of condensation from the steam cycle and to dispose of that heat in an environmentally acceptable manner. The points of inlet and discharge of the cooling water are offshore, east of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. The System includes the following structures: Two 19-foot inside diameter tunnels, lined with reinforced concrete, which connect the plant with the offshore inlet and outlet structures; a pumphouse, located at the plant site which encloses traveling screens and pumps for the circulating water and service water systems; and a piping system at the plant site, for the most part underground, interconnecting the tunnels, the pumphouse, and the condensers. The tunnels extend through the underlying rock in an east-west direction at an elevation between 200 and 250 feet below sea level. They end at the plant site with two 19-foot diameter vertical shafts, which reach above grade transforming at the top into two transition boxes open to the atmosphere. At the offshore end, the intake tunnel terminates with three 9-foot inside diameter vertical shafts connecting to three submerged inlet heads. The discharge tunnel terminates with eleven 5-foot inside diameter vertical shafts, each connecting to a submerged bifurcated diffuser head. Service Water Cooling Tower System The Service Water Cooling Tower System disposes of waste heat from the plant service water system. Waste heat from equipment throughout the plant is collected by the service water cooling system piping. The service water transfers waste heat to the service water cooling tower, which discharges heat to the atmosphere, thereby controlling discharge of waste heat to the natural water resources adjacent to the station. The Service Water Cooling Tower System components include the service water cooling tower, service water piping, pumps and associated electrical service, mechanical equipment, controls and instrumentation.
