Purpose

Why should you be interested in expanding The Crystal River nuclear

plant?

A clean and affordable source of power is being demanded by our fellow countrymen. Not only is the cost of power an issue but higher levels of

pollution are further exacerbating the stress of the nation.

Summary

A brief over view of what the proposal entails.

Our nation is facing ever dwindling sources of energy. With oil and

coal prices continuously rising and

our nation in a recession it is more

important than ever to seek a more cost effective source of

energy.

With the cost of building an entirely new nuclear plant now reaching into the billions it is more cost effective to simply expand

onto a pre-existing plant.

Introduction

The expansion of the Crystal River nuclear plant will include four new

power generators.

Consumers are demanding a more cost effective source of energy and we would like to utilize our nuclear knowledge to

help remedy this issue. The expansion of the Crystal River nuclear plant will include four new power generators in the hopes of increasing the power out-put of this plant

by 100%.

Tasks

What are some steps that will need to be taken before we move forward with any sort of expansion or alteration to

the Crystal River Plant?

Research the overall long-term savings of proceeding with the expansion.

Gather sound estimates on the cost of material and staffing the larger facilities.

Identify the necessary measures that need to betaken to compensate for the limited increase inwaste out put.

Implement tasks to complete the expansion.

Schedule

Having a set schedule and being able to adhere to it is key in managing costs.

Task Dates Of Tasks (by Year)

Task 1: Investigate Benefits of Expansion

Task 2: Gather Estimates on material costs.

Task 3: Identify steps for waste removal/Construction

Task 4: Prepare final report.

Year 2011 Year 2012 Year 2013 Year 2014

Budget

A rough budget has been drawn together

and is presented in the following chart.

Name/Item Years Yearly Rate Material Cost Total Cost

John Doolittle 4 $425,000 $5.2 Million $6.9 Million

Heather Barrett 4 $350,000 $6.3 Million $7.7 Million

Mason Spate 3 $315,000 $3.9 Million $4.9 Million

Total: $19.5 Million

This chart represents the cost of material and pay roll for the research needed before the project commences.
