Abstract	The authors of this paper must be congratulated for handling a very sensitive subject in a factual and forthright manner. It is good that they have taken the time to tell the technical community "the rest of the story." The Nashville Thermal facility was the first plant in the United States to use modern water wall mass burning boil ers to supply, on an uninterrupted basis, both steam and chilled water to a major city, and it has been accom plishing this feat ever since it went into commercial operation over ten years ago. The authors have reported on the cooperative spirit between the. owners, operators, consulting engineers and equipment suppliers that has made this possible. In the process, about a million and a quarter tons of refuse have been consumed. This paper provides a good summary overview of the Nashville Thermal operation and performance. The auth ors have recognized the dilemma of every resource recov ery facility in attempts to keep costs down, revenues up and at high assured reliability. Their sharing of financial information should help other resource recovery planners better evaluate their own plans. In this view, we would be interested in the authors' comments on the feasibility of electrical cogeneration at Nashville under today's PURPA environment. The Nashville Thermal operators should be compli mented for their contribution to the state-of-the-art of U.S. resource recovery technology. Their plant, including JAMES T. HESTLE, JR. and GARRY R.
