The plant's initial unit of 430,000 kilowatts can supply enough electricity for two large iudnstrial loads like Kennecott Copper or two cities the size of Ogden, Utah. It incorporates many automated devices including inclu-ding automatic data gathering equipment that checks on more than 500 critical areas and. a computer that uses the data to make mathematical calculations calcula-tions necessary for plant operations. oper-ations. Visitors will be impressed with the 23-story boiler, a view into its raging white-hot interior in-terior where temperatures reach 2,600 degrees; and a walk around the turbine hall where the electricity is generated and where the tip of the largest blade of the turbine travels faster than the speed of sound. Fuel source for the plant is a mine two miles distant from the plant where coal is taken from the mine via a covered conveyor to the plant's coal I r H U U; , ! j I " I J: ' !,'" ' 1 .
