PSEG Of New Jersey To Buy Nuclear Plants From Offshore Power Offshore Power Systems, Jack- sonville, Fla., has announced that Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSEG) of New Jersey, exercising its option, has agreed to purchase two additional floating nuclear plants for operation in 1985 and 1986 at a site still to be deter- mined. This brings the total number of floating nuclear plants under con- tract to Public Service to four. The original two, which had been con- tracted for in September 1972, will be sited 2.8 miles off Little Egg Harbor, N.J., in 1979 and 1980. Each unit is an 1150-megawatt plant, representing a total of 4600 megawatts of new power genera- tion for the densely populated New Jersey area. In making the announcement, J.R. Stadelman, vice president, Off- shore Power Systems, stated that the purchase by PSEG is a "posi- tive step toward alleviating the en- ergy crisis in New Jersey, as well as a timely one in view of the foreign fuel import situation. Pow- er generation from each 1150-mega- watt floating nuclear plant will re- duce the need for oil by one million •barrels per month, releasing the scarce fuel oil for other needed pur- poses, as well as improving the nation's balance of payments." Offshore Power Systems, a Westinghouse-Tenneco enterprise, has a backlog of eight units under commitment, representing a total of approximately $3 billion in sales. In addition to the four units un- der contract to Public Service, Off- shore Power Systems received in July a letter of intent for two float- ing nuclear plants from Middle South Utilities, Inc., to be sited in south Louisiana, with operation scheduled for 1982 and 1984. In October, the Jacksonville Electric Authority signed a letter of intent for two units to 'be deliv- ered for operation somewhere off the northeast Florida Coast in 1982 and 1984. Earlier this year, Offshore Pow- er Systems applied to the Atomic Energy Commission for licensing of eight essentially identical float- ing nuclear plants that will be pro- duced on an assembly-line basis at its manufacturing facility on Blount Island in Jacksonville. On June 8, the ABC accepted the ap- plication from Offshore Power Sys- tems for official review. Approval is expected some time early in 1975, the same year in which the manu- facturing facility will 'be completed. Sperry.. puts it all together.
