Abstract:

The purpose of this volume is to identify a limited number of typical stylized nodal models that have been developed by the TRI-TAC Office to define a range of alternatives for various types of cost effectiveness studies. Eleven nodal types are identified four contain ANTCC-39 switches, four are based on the ANTCC-42, and three address the SB-3865 unit level switchboard. Each node is described in terms of a block diagram which shows its major elements and how they will be interconnected. Specific details of each node are presented and additionally, variations of the nodal configurations can be readily developed by either 1 revising one or more of the ground rules which changes the equipment allocations or 2 varying the major assemblies in a stylized node.
