Harvard began construction of the plant in the Mission Hill-Brookline area of Boston in November 1976. The University has already spent more than $50 million on the project, which it hopes will provide steam, electricity and chilled water to the Medical School and Harvard-affiliated hospitals at an annual savings of $2 million...
Workers at the Control Center now stop injecting steam into the heating tank at midnight. "We begin then with a full tank (of hot water) and how far it goes depends on how many people take showers before 5 a.m." Lawton said...

When the Chicago firm sent a representative to see its equipment, he was, according to a Justice Department official, "given a little bit of the run-around." Estes...
...efficiency of their coal and natural gas power plants through magnetohydrodynamics, or the use of powerful magnets to help generate electricity. In the process, a current-conducting plasma, or superheated gas, is passed through a powerful magnetic field that heats it even further, and then is used to generate steam to drive a turbine...

Workers must lie prone on a rolling flatbed cart and draw themselves along by means of a rope pulley system. Most maintenance men go above ground to avoid this segment, using the pull-cart only when they must...
