NIPSCO To Build S BO Million Nuclear Power Plant In Porter Co.
HAMMOND — N rthern Indiana Public Sr ('iin'.Kiny u. l ayply »> the United-StaV s V chic Er. r..) Commission tor a permit to build an HOO.OOO kilowatt power olint in Porter county, Indiana. Dean H. Mitch?!!. XIPSCo chairman and chi?( executive officer, announced today. At a press conferenc • in the Calumet Region, the utility executive revealed that NIPSCo’s first nuclear generating station, which will 1 begin operation in the fall of 1972, will be* die first atomic pow r pant in the state of Indiana and rank among the largest inxestorowned nuclear power units in the world. The new s#o million atomic plant will lx> built at fGPSCo’s Bailly Station site on Lake Michigan nar Bethlehem Steel’s Bums Harbor , complex. Presently situated on the site is a 193,000 kilowatt coal-fired generating unit which became operational in I‘*k! and a 414.000 kilowatt coal-fired unit under construction ■with operation set for the summer of 1963. "Mitchell further announced that General Electric Company has l>een select d to supply the plant's boiling water reactor, including the, fust fu d core, turbine generator. and other major campon; nts. GE j also Ijg for plant st ar-up and initial operation. Sarg ’ant & Lundy Consulting Engineers will design the plant and Mt as project supervisors The huge nuclear station was placed" on order “to meet the mcr.asingiy heavy demands on our i system by new industry and its accompanying population increases, Mitchell said. “Studies of the future | needs of our customers indicate ( I at we must prepare now to mixt t;»e projected load growth that lies ahead.” In recent years, tiie utility’s 28- ; county. 12,000 square-male northern Indiana sen~.ee area has been singled out as one of th? nation’s most favored locations for new ami expanding industrial facilities. During the past two years, more 9 t!i.in sls new and expanding industries have announced major capital investments in the area. In addition. Mr. Mitchell pointed out, a recent Indiana university survey has estimated that by 1985 the population of Porter county will increase 154 per cent and Lake county 89 per cent. NTPSCb’s decision to build a nuclear unit resulted from careful consideration of alternate methods of producing power and was based on economic factors, engineering criteria and environmental suitability. “The atom holds real promise for cleaner air and dearer water.” Mitchell noted. “These modern, attractive plants feature the latest methods for purifying the water they use in the steam process and actually return it to its source in a more pure form. “They are also.' due to the intrinsic cleanliness of the fission process, able to operate with very little effect on atmospheric conditions when compared with other types of combustion," MitoheH said. “Similar favorable findings have resulted in a rapid increase in the number of atomic generating stations on order. During 1966, it is estimated, more than 60 per cent of the new plants ordered in the United States were nuclear. ‘These factors with their excellent record of dependability ” the utility executive revealed, “plus an wrreasingiy good cost comparison holds future promise of further decisions in its favor.

Such progress hopefuny will enable us to hold down the cost of producing electricity.” V a f«r-t step toward securing a construction permit from the United States Atomic Energy Commission.- NIPSGo will erect a 400-fuot- ■ :.h lower at th? pla it site to gather rxftiired meteorological data.

Statement By Governor Branigin Northern Indiana Public Service Company’s new Atomic Generating Station will provide another thrust forward to the entire state of Indiana and a further stimulus to the vital area served by this progressive utility. The new Atomic Generating Station of 800,000 KW capacity will be the largest generating unit ever built in Indiana and up to this date the largest atomic generating station in the midwest. Outstanding industrial growth in the northern part of the state dictates that the power supply be adequate to meet it and that electric energy shall never be too little nor too late in this growing megalopoly soon to be stretching across Indiana all the way from Chicago to Toledo. Far-sighted faith in the future of northern Indiana and the state at large could not be better illustrated than in this huge investment of $80,000,000 to insure power supply in this expanding area. The atomic station is fired by a proven boiling water reactor and is modem in design and contains the newest improvements known in the atomic field. I congratulate Mr. Mitchell and Northern Indiana Public Service Comply on its farsighted planning to insure adequate electric power so necessary to bring industry to Indiana. This lines up with the state’s huge program, that I have fostered, of bringing industry and jobs' to our state.

Bonds Again Offered As Refund Option Savings Bond chairman for Kosciusko county, Joe Ettinger, today reminded taxpayers that the Treasury department will once again offer them the opportunity of taking income tax refunds in United States Savings Bonds. The savings option, introduced in 1963, is in addition to the two standard options of taking tax refunds in cash or applying them to next year’s tax. "■When a taxpayer elects to take his refund in Series E Bonds,” Mr. Ettinger said, “his money goes to work immediately on two jobs. It begins to build his financial security. At the same time, it contributes to our country’s economic strength. Those who elect the U. S. Savings Bond option.join millions of Americans who are investing in their country’s future in this way. “When you check the Savings Bond line on your 1966 tax form”, Mr. Ettinger continued, “you automatically assure yourself of two advantages: You provide yourself with an easy method of holding on to your tax refund dollars and a sure wqy of making it grow onethird larger at maturity. When your is made, the rest is automatic. For example, if you’re entitled to a refund of $42, you’U get a SSO face-value Series E Bond (cost $37.50), plus a check for $4.50. Mr. Ettinger said, “choosing bonds is the surest way I know of to make your tax refund really mean something to you.” Nir. and Mrs. Carl Fiechter and children of Berne visited her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Theo Beer, Sunday. They called at the Oscar Graff home to congratulate them on their 50 years of married life.
