industry or {ot utilizing any scarce steam-generating equipment. At any rate, power needs of the wind tunnels. which will probably not be running Around-the-clock, would more easily be met by hydroelectric generating facili ties that could store water during nonoperating hours. No existing federal Hydroelectric project has been found to meet the wind-tunnel power requirement. Fed eral development agencies have tuld Unitary Planners that their big plants, both in existence and under construc tion, have already been assigned all the loads they can carry. This would rule out, for the present at least, location of the big wind-tunnel project* fa Columbia {liver Basin area, at Hoover Dam, at Reclamation Bureau's Central Valley Project in California--in fact, can cobt fj a at any site already under development. Anyhow, only one single develop ment among these project*--Grand Coulee's power plant--could provide sufficient energy. About hall built now, , the Coulee plant will have an ultimate j power installation of .1,974,000 kw. 1 But Columbia Basin industries and resi dential users ere-snapping up Coulee power os /sit as it becomes'available. This leaves as the only likely alter native: development of hydro plants at some unexploited site. With some 70 to 60 millions kw of Hydroelectric energy still untapped In U. S. streams (according to Federal Power Commis sion estimates) such plants might be built in several sections of the country. Most obvious choice' would be made from locations already studied for power development by the government. Such sites include several in Missouri River Basin, on upper Colorado River, Arkansas River, and Savannah, Roanoke and other Southeastern rivers. With Congressional authorisation and 1 appropriations, such plants might bo completed within four to five years, if construction were pushed on an emer gency basis. This would fit the Unitary Plan schedule, since It is estimated that construction of a supersonic wind tunnel'requires about lour years. Appropriation requests of the mili tary establishment and NACA contain no funds for any portion of the Unitary Plan lor fiscal 1949. .5 Used and specified on hundreds: of dcw buildings--and installed on thousands of old buildings tof prevent conly "Water Hammer'^ --the Williams-Hager Flanged jj Silent Check Valve will lohe-y your problem, too!
