PGE Asko
An application for a site
certificate to construct and
operate both nuclear and coal
fired thermal power plants at
its proposed Boardman site was
filed today by Portland General
Electric company with the
Oregon Nuclear and Thermal
Energy Council.
The filing took the form of a
thick volume of data which
PGE said conformed and was
responsive to NTEC rules
adopted at its September 5, 1972
meeting, setting forth the types
of information to be furnished
with an application for a site
certificate. PGE had previously
filed its "notice of intent" to
submit an application for a site
certificate on February 16, 1972.
According to NTEC rules the
filing for the "notice of intent"
must precede the filing of the
application for a site certificate
by one year.
In announcing the filing, Joe
Williams. PGE's vice president
for Engineering-Construction,
also said that PGE will make
application to the Atomic
Energy Commission for a
nuclear plant construction

Housing Meeting
The public and any interested
persons are invited to attend a
Housing Meeting at the County
Courthouse next Monday, Mar.
12 at 7:30 p.m.
The meeting is scheduled for
the Court Room and present for
the event will be the Morrow
County Judge Paul Jones and
Commissioners Homer Hughes
and Walter Hayes, Mayor Jerry
Sweeney and members of the
Heppner City Council, Allen
Nistad of the Kinzua Corpora

Columbia Basin
B.P.A. OUTAGE
SCHEDULED
The Bonneville Power Ad
ministration is requiring plan
ned outages of their lone
Substation on March 8 and 9 to
rebuild facilities at that Sub
station, which will affect some
Columbia Basin Electric
members.
Columbia Basin Electric Coop
is building a "feed" around the
substation facilities to cut the
proposed outage time from 8
hours to 3Vfe hours. Columbia
Basin crews will do the line
switching for BPA.
The scheduled interruption
will be expected to run for 2V4
for Site Certificate
permit later this year, probably
in October or November. He
added that the company's
construction schedule calls for a
Boardman generation project to
be "on line" in 1980.
Proposed site of the project is
the Carty Reservoir area ap
proximately 11 miles southerly
from the city of Boardman and
the Columbia River pool behind
John Day dam.
The site is close to the
U.S.Navy's weapons delivery
training facility southwest of
Boardman and has been the
subject of prior hearings before
NTEC limited to the single
question of whether or not
proximity would be a sufficient
hazard to render the site
unsatisfactory for a nuclear
plant or would require expesive
"hardening" of it against air
craft impact. NTEC has not yet
issued a ruling on this matter.
PGE has previously indicated
it would prefer to construct a
nuclear plant, both for en
vironmental and economic
reasons.

nuclear steam supply system

Wilcox last week. The order is
for a pressurized water reactor
with sufficient thermal power to
generate an electrical output of
1260 megawatts. The equipment
ordered was placed at this time
due to the very long lead time
required for a nuclear plant and
to provide the necessary design
information required for state
and federal application re
quirements. PGE is also applying for site
certification for two 600
megawatt coal-fired units. Coal
for the plant would be imported
by rail, probably from Montana
or elsewhere in the inter
mountain region.
Extensive studies of geology,
seismology, meterology,
hydrology, and other character
istics of the site already have
been made and indicate it to be
exceptionally favorable for
thermal power plants, accord
ing to Williams.
Possible beneficial uses of
plant cooling water and adapta
tion of the cooling reservoir as a
source of irrigation water for
surrounding desert lands has
attracted active support of the
plant from Boardman area
citizenry.

Paul Jones disqualified himself
upon complaint of the defense
attorney, Don Morrison of
Hermiston. Twenty-two wit
nesses were called which in
cluded teachers and students of

adequate facilities. Sheriff
Mollahan returned him to
Pendleton following the hearing
where he will await transporta
tion to MacLaren.
