ОписаниеAEC-70-8697 THE FIRST MAJOR COMPONENT — a 570-ton, 73-Foot long nuclear steam generator is shown arriving at the site of Duke Power Company's giant Oconee station under construction in South Carolina. Built by Babcock & Wilcox at Barberton, Ohio, the unit is one of the heaviest single pieces of equipment ever shipped by rail. Two, specially-built flatcars, each with 12 axles and a 300-ton load capacity, made up the train that carried the generator as far as Newry, South Carolina, a few miles from the site. There, the steam generator was transferred to a specially designed 240-wheel vehicle that carried it the final 7,5 miles to the first of three containment buildings at Oconee. Two such generators, each containing about 170 miles of special alloy tubing, will be used in Oconee Unit 1 (841 Mwe) which is scheduled for 1970 operation; two other 886-Mwe nuclear units are under construction at the Oconee site for 1971 and 1972 operation.
