The physical works include nuclear reactors, <br /> <br />thermal electric power generating facilit ies, desalting plants, <br /> <br />power transmission facilities, and conveyance works to transport <br /> <br />desaltea sea water from ttle coast of southern California to Lake <br /> <br />Mead on the Colorado River. <br /> <br />Dual-Purpuse Nuclear Desalting Plant <br /> <br />Location--The nuclear power generation slId desalting facilities <br /> <br />~vould be located on the Pacific coast of southern California. For <br /> <br />the purposes of estimating costs, this report assumes the site to <br /> <br />be within the boundaries of the Camp Joseph C. Pendleton Naval <br /> <br />Reservation about seven miles northwest of Oceanside, California. <br /> <br />This site is in Federal ownership, would appear to satisfy current <br /> <br />reactor siting criteria, and has excellent access from U. S. Highway <br /> <br />101 and th" Santa Fe Railroad. <br /> <br />In detailed studies, consideration would also be given to <br /> <br />other potential sites along the coast~ Studies indicate that <br /> <br />tllcre will be one or morc suitable land-bused sites along tile <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />Oc^"-,,," <br /> <br />.-/ <br /> <br />..-L~ <br /> <br />
