WPPSS applied for a construction and operation permit in 1973, and both WNP-3 and WNP-5 started construction in 1977. [3] Cost overruns led to major management changes at all five WPPSS nuclear plants in 1980. Bechtel was appointed the construction manager for WNP-1, 2 and 4 at Hanford and EBASCO brought in a new management team for WNP-3 and 5 ...
A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a civilian or naval ship that has historically served numerous purposes, such as identifying the vessel's mode of propulsion, purpose, or ownership/nationality.

Thus, "DD" does not stand for anything more than "Destroyer". "SS" simply means "Submarine". And "FF" is the post-1975 type code for "Frigate." [7]

The Site Certification Agreement was approved in 1975, with construction commencing on both units later that year. [5] Labor disputes at Hanford halted construction on WNP-1, -2 and -4 in 1980 and the forecast electric demand had failed to materialize, prompting WPPSS to install new management and re-evaluate the cost and schedule for all five nuclear projects.

MDSS – measured depth referenced to mean sea level zero datum – "subsea" level; MDT – modular formation dynamic tester, a tool used to get formation pressure in the hole (not borehole pressure which the PWD does). MDT could be run on Wireline or on the Drill Pipe; MDR – mud damage removal (acid bullheading) MEA – monoethanolamine
