ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION 1. Ministry of Mines and Power (See Annex B.) UTM Coordinates (UTH BT-8331) (UTM CT-9855) (UTM EU-8761) (UTM XM-4089) (UTM EU-9583) The Ministry of Mines and Power (Banya es Energiaugyi Miniszte'rium), located at Marko Utca 16, BUDAPEST V, was the responsible governmental agency for directing and controlling the Electric Power Industry. There were several changes in the administrative structure since 1947. The chief changes seemed to be the designation of the Ministry to which the Electric Power Industry was subordinated. From 1947 to 1948 the Electric Poyrer Industry was directly re- sponsible to the Ministry of Heavy Industry (Nehe zipari Miniszterium). From 1948 to 1952, the responsible agency was the Ministry of Mines and Power. From 1952 to 1954 the responsible agency was the Ministry of Chemical Industry and Power (Vegyipari es Energiaugyi Miniszterium) located at Marko Utca 16 in BUDAPEST. The responsibility was changed again during 1954 and 1955 to the Ministry of Heavy Industry, Department of Power Plants. From 1955 to January 1957 the re- sponsibility rested again with the Ministry of Mines and Power. From January 1957 to Source's defection, the over-all control came from the Ministry of Heavy Industry although the Ministry of Mines and Power still existed. The Ministry of Mines and Power was required to meet the demands for fuel and power made by the Ministry of Heavy Industry. The National Planning Office decided on priorities for coal and power. It was an independent organization supervised by the Council of Ministers. 2. Administration and Operations Source's knowledge concerning administration and operations was limited to the Power Plant Trust with which he worked. A typical daily operation in the Power Plant Trust headquarters was as follows: 0830 to 0900: In the presence of the Power Trust's Directcr,chief engineer, and chief bookkeeper, the incoming mail was discussed and distributed to the responsible department chiefs with in- structions and a deadline for compliance which was noted by the secretary present. Pertinent factors were extracted to be discussed at the meeting of the Department Chiefs.

The incoming reports from the individual power plants were discussed and the department chiefs re- ported on the previous day's activities. The chief engineer gave instructions for the coming day. All new regulations or instructions originating from other government agencies were made known to the participants. Minutes of the meet- ing were recorded by the secretary. 1000 to 1100: fAll departments received visitors on or example: from Ministeriums, power fandiallied plants. schedules, procurement 1100 to 1400: foriexample: complawas conducted intsbouh delayed with of material, etc. 1400 to 1700: Everybody attended to their respective jobs or duty. Every department chief had an assistant who substituted in the chief's absence; therefore, continuity was assured under all circumstances. The super- vision of the power plants was accomplished by the respective chiefs of the co- operatives or their assistants. They kept liaison with the Budapest industries, the Coal Distribution Trust, and attended to the material procurement on the basis of incoming reports from the power plants. (See Annex C for Source's organ- izational chart of the Power Plant Trust,It within which Source was the chief for Number 1 Grid High Capacity Power Plants.) B. ECONOMIC BACKGROUND 1. Industrial Requirements It was evident before the first five-year plan 1952 to increase ) that h nHuu Hgary's existing electric power was inadequate to supply the pl Therefore, an ambitious electric power expansion was projected under the first two five-year plans. In addition, international agreements were made or were being considered with Rumania, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia to help overcome the elec- tric power shortage. In 1956 the Ministry of Heavy Industry established the ab- solute minimum power requirement for critical Hungarian industries at Ta his minimum 1,200,000 kw per hour. This requirement was to be met at all costs. requirement would conceivably always be met if the Hungarian power plants con- tinued to produce at installed capacity or, as in some cases, above the installed capacity. The established minimum requirement for heavy industry was to be sup- plied by the three Hungarian grids. (See Annex C formo detailed Ndescriptiond of the three grids.) Number 1 Grid would supply 600,000 kw hours, 400,000 kw hours, and Number 3 Grid 200,000 kw hours. This was only a theoretic breakdown of the over-all requirement since the output of the power plants in the aforementioned grids was considerably more than the absolute minimum requirements. Although the minimum requirement was always supplied, the installed power capacity was not adequate to meet all the demands. Therefore, power rationing had to be instituted for small non-essential industries and private consumers. The electric power consumption of private consumers was held to a minimum and practi- cally restricted to the use of lighting and radio. Electric household appliances were almost non-existent.

Their total capacity was approximately 200,000 kw which was not included in the minimum requirement of the Hungarian heavy industries. 2. International Agreements The first priority for electric power was the iron and steel works, aluminum plants, armament industry and the coal mines,, Number 1 Grid supplied all first priority consumers. The second priority was public works, military installations, cities, electrified railroad lines and streetcars. These con- sumers were generally supplied by Number 2 Grid. The third priority was small industries and villages that would normally be supplied by Number 3 Grid. Number 2 be when necessary.

International agreements on the import and export of electricity had been concluded with Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. An agreement with Rumania was under consideration. a,, Imports Starting December 1957, Hungary was to impost electricity from Yugo- slavia at a steady, rate of 60,000 kw per hour which was later to be increased to 100,000 kw per hour. It was to be transmitted from the Osijek sub-station to the Komld sub-station and then into Number 1 Grid. The construction of a line from Rumania to the Debrecen sub-station was under consideration. It would supply an unknown amount of power to Number 1 Grid. b. Exports The entire: capacity of the 60,000 kw Inata plant had bean exported to Czechoslovakia since 1955 and was to continue for a period of 20 years. This delivery was in compensation for Czachoslovakia?s construction of the Inota plant. Overtures to discontinue this agreement have been made to Czechoslovakia with unknown results. 3. Controls and Regulations Excessive demands by government offvcials fcr stepped-up production and construction schedules were impossible to carry out without resorting to trickery or falsif4.cation of the books. The annual budget requirements submitted by the individual power plants were usually disapproved. The budget was returned with cuts in personnel and material while the work and production schedules were in- creased. These excessive demands on the power plants created animosity between the oper?t.t ".ng agenc ie l3 and the Ministry. Status o:l,' labor There was a critical shortage of well-trained and wall-rounded young engineers. Source blamed this shortage on inferior Soviet training methods which tended to make the young engineers specialize in certain fields. Such training was not practical in the Hungarian power industry. Although there was no critical shortage of skilled technicians, -except boiler mechanics and turbo-generator C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L -9- foremen who had retired and could not be replaced, the level of skill was con- stantly becoming inferior when compared to old standards. This was also due to highly specialized courses at the university. These young engineers and techni- cians were well trained in their narrow fields but it was impossible to convert the operation of the power plants to fit their special skills. They were not respected by the older skilled technicians who had long years of training on the job. The so-called "old guard" refused to train the new engineers because of inequity of pay and also for fear of eventually losing their own jobs to the Communist indoctrinated youths. Between 1948 and 1956, 46 electrical engineers were graduated from Buda- pest Technical University and Miskolc University. Twelve of these engineers were sent to the Soviet Union in the fall of 1955 for one year of practical training. When they returned, they were scheduled to replace the power plant directors who were nearing or were over the retirement age. Everyone shirked their duty and avoided positions of responsibility because the slightest discrepancy or normal breakdown in a plant could cause imprisonment. Also, a skilled worker often earned more money than a foreman or an engineer in a responsible position because premiums were given to workers upon completion of the norm or over production. But it was difficult for man in responsible positions to share in the extra bonuses. In addition, if the schedules or norms were not met, it often meant a reduction in salary or imprisonment. Therefore, there was no incentive for skilled workers to become foramen. Salary groups were as followss Foremen - ----- ------ 950 to 1,700 forints Technicians --------------- 19100 to 1,700 forints Plant engineers -- ----- 19300 to 19700 forints Chief engineers ----------- 1,700 to 2,600 forints The normal work schedule of the power plants was three eight-hour shifts daily (0600 to 1400, 1400 to 2200, and 2200 to 0600). This a hedule was worked out by the Ministry of Mines and Power and the Trades Union Council. The work week of each employee was 56 hours, lunch and coffee breaks included. Overtime pay was prohibited and if overtime was absolutely necessary, compensatory time was given. 5. Planned Development of Hydroelectric Potential The underdeveloped hydroelectric potential of Hungary was located primarily on the upper Danube River between KOMAROM and ESZTERGOM. This particular part of the river was chosen by a joint Hungarian-Czechoslovak commission because of its comparatively rapid flow there. The plan of the commission was to build five hydroelectric power plants, each with an installed capacity of 40,000 kw. Construction was to begin during the Second Five-Year Plan (1957-1962). The construction would be financed jointly by Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Canals were to be built in order not to obstruct river navigation.

An announce- ment was meid`,May 1956; at an electric power conference which Source attendedy that prelim'inar'f.plans were underway to construct 13 low capacity hydroelectric power plants?.,on?this river between TISZALOK and SZEGED. The capacity of these power plants,woul.d total 110,000 kw. The construction of the 13 plants would serve in conjunction with the ambitious irrigation program of the Lowand. Con- struction on the upper reaches of the river had been underway for two years in an effort to make the river navigable between POLGAR and the Soviet Union. The construction,, of a hydroelectric plant (total capacity 150,000 kw) and dam was planned to harness the power of the Rubn,Pinka, and Gyongyos Rivers near the Austrian bender. This,plan was announced by Bala ANDOR, chief engineer for hydroelectric power plants-at conferences in 1955 and 1956. Although this project was included in the second five-year plan (1957-1962) the plan to construct the 13 power plants on the Tisza River was not included. 6. Fuels a, Coal and Peat Source estimated that the fuel supply, especially coal reserves,was very limited. He based, this estimate on continuous participation in electric power conferences. The Ministry of Minas and Power was aware of this problem but claimed that in 15 years nuclear powered plants would replace some of the present plants. The Kazinbarcika (Borsod) Power Plant, supplied by the Borsod coal mines, had an estimated coal reserve of 25 years. The Matra'videk plant, supplied by the nearby Petofi mines, had an estimated coal reserve of 15 years. The Inota plant,supplied by the V4rpalota lignite fields,, had an estimated reserve of 15 years. Source could not estimate the fuel reserves available to the other thermal power plants. A?peat field of great potential, located immediately southeast of Lake Balaton and extending approximately to KESZTHELY, was to be exploited. ERBE (Power Plant _!Projecting and Building Company) was planning a 60,000 kw plant within this field. . , .An estimated 30 years fuel supply would be available for this plant. bo Gas -, Although the new Tiszapalkonya thermal plant used coal from the Kazinc- barcika Bor.,aod):;;mines, it would subsequently receive its fuel from the waste material' of~?the'~Tiszapalkonya Chemical Combine when completed. This combine would receive its gas fuel from Rumania and limited amounts from the Mez?keresztes oil fields. The Lovaszi and Bazakerettye power plants utilized natural gas from the surrounding oil fields. These fields had an estimated reserve of 25 years. The Lovdszi oil fields supplied 30 percent of its production to BUDAPEST. Anew natural gas field of great importance was discovered in 1952 near PUSZTAEDERICS between'.NAGYKANIZSA and BAZAKERETTYE, ERBE was planning to constrpet a power plant and' an unknown type factory in this area. The HAJ] SZO- BOSZLO power plant (1,500 kw) was supplied with natural gas from nearby gas fields.

At this time a new brick factory was constructed at MALYI, This factory supplied the brick and tile for the recently constructed Tiszapalkonya power plant. The new factory proved unable to net the stepped-up demand for construction materials. Consequently, in the spring of 19539 the Ministry for Construction Materials was dissolved, ostensibly, because of gross negligence in the production of construction material. A new Ministry for Construction was established which succeeded in increasing the pro- duction of construction material but at the expense of lowering the quality, which again delayed the production schedules. But because of the great importance at- tached to the construction of the new power plants, the highest priority was given to construction material, labor and technical assistance. Therefore, all possible 50X1-HUM assistance was given on a priority basis. a, Power Plants Under Construction Hungary?s intensive plans to increase her electric power output was evidenced by a glance at new plants under construction and in planning. The following examples illustrate this (1) Thermal Power Plant in HIDAS During 1956 Source saw plans for the construction of a new 60,000 kw thermal electric power plant in HIDAS0 He stated that from his super- ficial observation, the blueprints of the plat in HIDAS was identical in appear- ance to the thermal electric power plant in PEGSUJHEGY (see Annex DD). This plant was planned for construction during the second five-year plan, but the plans were dropped for budgetary reasons. The planned power plant in HIDAS was to be operated by the waste material of a planner. briquette plant a The briquette plant, which was also to be constructed under the aec nd Lie-year plan, was to use peat (Tozeg 800 to 1,400 kcal/kg) and residue (Pakura) of the Lovasz area oil refinery for briquette production.

(4) Nuclear Power Plant in BUDAPEST The second five-year plan included the development and construc- tion of an atomic reactor on Hard hill iri Budageet. Source heard at a conference of electric power officials in December 1956 that plans to construct an atomic power plant with an installed capacity of 200,000 kw was under considera- tion. However, a close acquaintance of Source, Chief Engineer Od.&n KER NYI, who was a member of the Atomic Research Board, minimized the program and stated that the plant would be a mere research station. (5) TY)ermal Power Plants at TISZAPALKONYA, KAZINCBARCIKA (Borsod), AJKA, KON16, and Matravidek Plant in MATRA (See Section E of this report for details.) (6) Thermal Poser Plants in GYOR and SZEGED Plans for these two power plants (60,000 kw each) were finished in 1950 but lack of funds prevented their construction. Scarce heard that plans for this construction v re discussed by the Power Plant Trust again in 1956. The Ministry was advised to proceed with the construction but it was again rejected because the great expenditures of the Tiezapalkonya and Kazincbarcika (Borsod) power plants depleted the funds. b. Transmission Lines Under Construction A high voltage 110 k:? transmission ]ine was under construction between TISZAPALKONYA and DEBRECEN. (See Annex A.) This line was scheduled for completion in December 1956, but because plans were modified to extend the line into Rumania the new scheduled completion date- was unkr_own. ,A other transmission line of 110 kv was under construction between DEBRECEN, BEKESCSABA, and SZEGED; its scheduled completion date of December 1956 was not mat because the Didsgyor Iron Works was unable to deliver steel high-tension towers, due to Soviet commitments. This problem was discussed at a meeting of Ministry for Mines and Power. A Ministry representative stated that the Soviets had agreed to let Hungary have the necessary steel towers and that a new completion schedule for December 195x' had been established. The completion of this power line would enable the Matravid Power Plant to control the power distribution in Number 1 High Capacity (110 kv Transmission) Grid in case the main power sub- statial (Ngpliget) in BUDAPEST was put out of commission. Source stated that this power line would complete the national power grid net of Hungary. The planned 13 hydroelectric plants to be erected on the Tisza Rivar were to cooperate within this transmission line. The construction of new 110 kv transmission lines pro- jested but not yej, pproved by the Council of Ministers were betw~e~n AJKA and GYOR; MOSONMAGYARO-V , SOPRON and Austria; KOMIO, NAGYKANI~ZSA, LOVASZI, ZALAEGERSZEG, SZOMBATHELY and SOPRON; TISZAPALKONYA and UNGTA. (USSR) ; LORINCI, SZOLNOK and SZEGEDO e. Power Sub-stations Under Construction Power substations of importance were under construction at BEKESCS.PBA and DEBRECEN.

The Bdkkscsaba power sub-station was also scheduled for completion by December 1956, but the initial constructions had not begun when Source left Hungary in February 1957. ERBE promised fulfillment of the plans as soon as structural instructions were received. d, Recently Electrified Railways The Hungarian State Railway was lagging far behind its electrification plans. This was mainly because the Diosgyo'r Steel Plant was unable to deliver the steel towers due to a priority commitment to the USSR. The only existing electrified railroad line was between HEGYESHALOM and BUDAPEST, lso?local, electrified trains connected BUDAPEST with the suburban towns of GODOLL6, TOROKB LINT and SZENTENERE. A railway electrification project was presently underway from BUDAPEST to MISKOLC. The section of this line from BUDAPEST to HATVAN was completed in the spring of 1956. Source rode over this line after completion but he was not sure whether any scheduled electric trains were yet in service. Construction between HATVAN and MISKOLC seemed at a standstill because of delivery difficulties men- tioned above. Other electrified railways were planned between BUDAPEST and DEBRECEN, and BUDAPEST and KISKUNHALAS, C. POWER DISTRIBUTION 1. History The distribution of electric power in Hungary was accomplished with three primary grids. (A graphic chart of the entire grid network, as Source remembered it, is included on Annex A.) Source maintained that Hungary will have complete integration of her electric power when the transmission lines and substations, shown on Annex A as "Under Construction", are completed. He stated that it would then be possible to quickly switch all of Hungary's electric power output to a specified area. All of the current in the three primary grids was standardized at three phase, 50 cycle. Source stated that some variations of this standardization existed among the very low capacity power plants that operated primarily for an individual factory, 50X1-HUM there had been a gradual increase in the electrification of small villages in Hungary since 1938. He roughly estimated that villages up to 2,000 inhabitants were 75 percent electrified. Communities over 2,000 inhabi- tants were 100 percent electrified. The three grid networks mentioned above were organized as follows: a. Number 1- Grid This grid transmitted power at 110 kv to all the major heavy indus- tries and important defense plants in Hungary. For example: Diosgyor Iron Works, the Osepel Industries in BUDAPEST, the Szt linvalros Iron Works- and the Gyor Wagon C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 C-0-N-F-I-D-E-N-T=I=A L -14- Works. The headquarters for this grid was located at the Power Plant Trust in BUDAPEST, Iskola Utca 13. This grid consisted of all power plants rated at area 30,000 erem with square nd ovThe er. aluminu voltage connections were of f 60 squmillimeters of Delta type. Number 1 Grid was under direct control of the Power Plant Trust by means of a high frequency had to submit daily reports. Instructionsatoa planned productirn schedule these two grids were conveyed by telephone. b. Number 2 Grid This grid transmitted power at 60 kv to the electrified railroad lines, military installations, postal facilities, radio stations and other essen- tial installations, but not to private customers. This grid consisted of power plants within the 10,000 to 309000 kw range; its headquarters was located in the Ujpest (Budapest Municipal 'Elertrica3. System - PU01'DICT~ ) Power Plant. Number 2 Grid was able to supply and receive power from Number 1 and Number 3 Grids as deemed necessary. The conductors and towers of this grid were of the same material and size as those used by Number I Grid. c. Number 3 Grid This grid transmitted power at 35 kv to local industries and private consumers. Selected power plants with an installed capacity of less than 1 ,000 kw were included in this grid. The conductors were copper (35 sq mm) mounted grid are shown on wooden or concrete poles. a T~ru~raict~urci~ ilin tseexactt].ocation and the extent ofx A in green, but this is not P this grid. 2. Control Centers 2. The control and direction of power distribution was accomplished in the Power Plant Trust control room (see Annex D for pinpoint location). After office hours (0900 to 1700) control was taken over by a shift working in the BUDAPEST V, Bathory Utca 12 control room which had an identical control board. In case of an emergency, control was shifted to underground bunkers in the rock (Szikla) in the Gellert Mountains, in BUDAPEST. All information from the plants in Number 1 Grid was reported on the high frequency carrier telecommunication system and re- corded in the Power Plant Trust9s control rooms where the FAnorts were read and rprnrAAA by technicians. the communications system was of the carrier t and the the lines of the power system were used to carry the signals. the sy50X1-H U M f Austrian to chni- was installed during the years 1950, 1951 and 1952 by a team cians, and was headed by a technician C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 C-0-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L -15- The Hungarian installation was caps ransmittin phone, teletype 50X1-HUM wionalline information simultane The The system was operative only on Number 1 Grid of the power system w N mber 4+ -M nto the systems of 2 i provisions made at unknown locations for for communications. facilities t l e p and r Grids which used 50X1-HUM iderable amount of technical signal 50X1-HUM re was a cons the 1 Grid and at equipment installed in each of the0n2thepower contr lstations pan$lf ofueach station there the sub-stations in GYOR and SZEGEDo there was an ordinary telephone and lights tltYPethe set. controldpanel, whicheweratcontrolled were a great number of signal by the carrier system.

Interruption Factors if the four most important sub-stations (Matravid~c in MATRA YOR, N plige in A.PEST, and DIdSGYOR) in the Number 1 Grid were destroyed, the result would be a complete paralysis of Hungary's heavy and light industries. Only the local and small capacity power plants would be ,,able to con- tinue operation. The destruction of the main power sub-station in NEPLIGET would cripple BUDAPEST's electric supply and would cut off electricity to the surrounding heavy industries; the result would be a shortage of 200,000 kw of power. Although the Matravid,: sub-station could take over control and still supply 400,000 kw of power to the high capacity national grid, the high frequency automatic control would also be disrupted and the Matravidek control station would have to rely upon telephone communication. Destruction of the Matravidakpower sub-station would mean a shortage of 400,000 kw electric power to Number 1 high capacity Grid and the subsequent destruction of either of the other three important sub-stations in Hungary would result in serious curtailment of power in the national grid. The destruction of a power plant would result only in the shortage of the respective power plant's output. The cutting of one transmission line would have no serious results because the power sub-stations could switch the electric power to other lines or through other regional nets. Source emphasized that the elimination of the for above mentioned major power sub-stations would completely paralyze n to be Hungary's power supply. In the foreseaab~l1a important uhrolewin the powerodistr motion constructed in DEBRECEN would also play -f-or it was to receive electric power from Rumania. 4.

Under no circumstances could the transmission of power on these lines be interrupted. Source knew., for example. that the Didsd radio transmitter was supplied from the'Szdkesfehrvr Power Plant9s sub-station by a direct air defense line, while the Eger Fine Appliance Factory was served by an air defense line from the Dills,- gyor Power Plant. The Ikervdr Hydroelectric Plant sub-station had a parallel defense line to a radio relay station which Source believed was also a jamming station. It was located between IKERVAR and SZOMBATHELY. The Air Defense Lines assured electric power to the most important air defense centers, postal services, radio services, and military centers. However, after the Communist regime came to power, these lines were used to transmit power to strategic industrical instal- lations. Formerly, they were reserved solely as emergency lines in case of air raids or when the overhead lines were destroyed. 5. Power Sub-stations (See Annex A.) The Nhpliget Power Substation, the largest and most important in BUDAPEST, had the output of 12 power plants routed through it. It was located in the People?s Park; it occupied an area of about 600 x 300 m which contained two one- story brick buildings housing distributor relays. (See Annexes E and F.) There were 10 transformers in the transformer yard, each was provided with a 600 liter oil capacity circuit breaker. Eight incoming high tension cables connected this sub-station with the other sub-stations. This sub-station was the heart of the control and distribution of power for all high capacity power plants. During the 1956 revolution, the existing power supply provided by the Mgtravidgle Power Plant and the Komdrom sub-station was controlled and distributed from this station. Security guards were provided by the AVH (Hungarian Security Forces) who checked the station periodically. The Diosgyor Sub-station was one of the four important sub-stations within the Number 1 high capacity Grid (see Annex G and H). The Gyor Sub-station was located inside the.Gyor Power Plant. It was similar in shape and construction details to the power sub-stations in BUDAPES SOPRON, VJkRPALOTA, SZEKESFEHERV(R, SZOMBATHELY, K6SZEG, and IKERVLR, as well as the main power sub-station in BUDAPEST (Nepliget). The Matrgvid& Sub-station was located inside the thermal power plant. Source had no further information. D. ELECTRIC POWER PRODUCING EQUIPMENT 1. Equipment Procurement Until 1954 Hungary had been dependent upon imports to supply her with 50X1-HUM electric power producing equipment. However, since 1954 the Hungarian industry had advanced to such a degree that it was capable of planning, constructing. and e i ing two thermal power plants in China and one each in USSR In addition, ERBE drew the plans for a thermal power plant -ice Yugoslavia. the engineers who constructed the power plants and were g -v-- --'a r---- i"------ 50X1-HUM prises competing for these jobs. 50X1-HUM Hungary was supposedly exporting transformers to many countries; also, pulverized coal injection fed boilers, electric motors, and diesel engines.

These instruments were imported chiefly from Switzerland and East Germany. Equipment of Western manufacture was generally available through unknown Austrian sources. The high frequency tele- communications equipment, mentioned before, was installed by the Brown-Boveri Company through Austrian channels. All power plants in Hungary were equipped with some imported equipment but no detailed figures were available to Source- 50X1-HUM Many of the major items of equipment produced by Hungary were copied from foreign equipment. Source stated that it was apparent that the Hungarian manu- facturers attempted to make slight modifications on all copied models. Hungarian plants were gradually attaining top effici(5OX1-H U M in their production of power producing equipment and spare parts. In describing the various equipment used in the Hungarian Thermal Power Plants, drawings found in a textbook written by Zoltan GATI, Professor at the Tech- nical University in PECS, were the exact representations of the equipment manu50X1-HUM factured and installed as listed below. These textbook drawings are shown as Annexes I through P. 2. Source and Type of Equipment a. Boilers and Steam Storage Tank Four typical boilers now in use in Hungarian power plants are listed below: (1) Ship Boilers (See Annex I) This British type boiler was produced at the Ganz Ship Plant (Ganz Hajogyar) located on Vaci Road, BUDAPEST 13. These ship boilers were in sizes from 5 to 100 tph in 5 tph increments. Source stated that several of these boilers (30 tph) were installed at the power plants in KAZINCBARCIKA (Kisbarcika), VARPALOTA and SZERESFEHERVAR. (2) Babcock-Wilcox Boilers or Angle Grate Boiler (See Annex J.) This type of boiler was used in older, usually smaller capacity, power plants, such as those in SALGOTARJAN, KECSKEMET, and SZEGED. This boiler was manufactured at the same plant and in identical sizes as the above ship boiler. (3) Cornwall Axle Type Boiler (See Annex K.) These were low capacity boilers (5 to 10 tph) used in small plants. Source recalled that the plant in KISKUNFELEGYHAZA used these boilers. They were also manufactured at the Ganz Ship Plant. (4) Stirling Boiler (See Annex L) This was the most modern boiler employed in Hungary. It was installed in the reclntly constructed plants at TISZAPALKONYA, KAZINCBARCIKA (Borsod), and MATRA. ? This boiler (30 to 100 tph) was equipped with traveling grate system (see Annex N) and pulverized coal injection device. The original Stirling design had to be modified for Hungarian use by moving the firing place nkarer to the boiler for the low calorie coal. This type boiler was manufactured at the Ganz Ship Plant in BUDAPEST. (5) Ruths Steam Storage Tank (See Annex M) Ruths type steam storage tanks (by Ganz) were installed in power plants of number 1 Grid. The tanks stored enough steam for two hours of turbine operation.

Turbines 50X1-HUM The major types of turbines in use in Hungary were the obsolete ee Annex 0) and the newer Brown-Boveri Company (BBC) turbine "Zoelly" turban (see Annex P). the old Zoelly turbines were uneconomical and with were being replaced by the BBC turbine. All new plants were being equipped the BBC turbine. Both of these turbines and parts were manufactured, with slight Hungarian modifications, by the Lang Machine Plant (Lang Gapgyyr), Vdci Utca, BUDAPEST 13. c.

POWER PLANTS 10 Organization and Operation The power plants in Hungary were controlled by cooperatives Number 1, 2 and 3 (see Annex B), These cooperatives constituted the three major transmission grids in Hungary. The following organization and operation was common to all power plants. difficulty was lack of money, worker exceed 15 to 20 percent of value). a, Planning Department Each electric power plant had a planning department which was staffed by a chief planner and one or more technicians (depending on the size of the plant) who were chiefly concerned with submitting budgetary yearly plans to the Electric Power Plant Trust for approval. The budget had to be submitted during the summer preceding the calendar year that the plan was to go into effect. The plan con- sisted of three sectionsso production- inspection, repair, and service; and development and improvement of plant, Before the planning department began to assemble the final plan, all departments submitted their routine inspection, repair, innovations and maintenance needs for the following year. The plans 050X1-HUM the departments had to be reviewed and signed by the power plant manager. He eliminated duplication from the plans and also correlated the amount of expenses for repair, service, and maintenance to the value of equipment (which was not to He added, when the money was received the plant manager's task was to divide th50X1-H U M appropriation in such a wa that his plant would continue operating according t the Ministr 9s orders, the plant manager9s chief s, and materials 0 percent of the needed ble). plant managers h,; to juggle allocations carefully just to receive a portion of money requested, "L)"" spare or component parts were avail the planned production had to u e , no matter ow much the inspection, repair and service or development and improvement suffered because of the 100 percent production figure. This was always equal to full capacity of each plant. The pay of the plant manager and his staff (chief engineers) was contingent on production (80 percent production meant 80 percent pay for the plant manager and his staff). Full production was automatically rewarded by premium,- loss in production caused immediate investigation by inspec- trs of the Ministry and the AVH; the scapegoats were punished. After a planning department had received the plan from the plant manager, they submitted it for approval to the Electric Power Plant Trust, Prior to 31 December, preceding the year the plan was to be effective, the Electric Power Plant Trust returned its version of the plan with changes and/or approval. Source stated the Electric Power Plant Trust never saw "eye to eye" with reality and stressed production Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release @ 50-Yr 2013/06/21 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002100120008-3 C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-T~ above the other two sections, and appropriated only a portion of the requested amount for repairs and improvements. No matter how valid the arguments of the plants, the Electric Power Plant Trust always won. Source stated he made up most of the appropriation shortage by not changing oil in transformers and turbo- generators as prescribed, but he instructed responsible personnel to watch that the transformer temperature should not exceed 90 degrees Centigrade (permitted temperature 110 degrees Centigrade) and to watch the turbogenerators. Further- more, he secretly built calorimeters in the boiler system to save coal. (1) Allocation of Appropriation to Departments When the plans for the year were returned by the Electric Power Plant Trust, they were divided into quarters, then into monthly and finally into weekly plans. The weekly plans were then submitted to the individual departments where they were divided into daily plans and the requirements were entered in the work log (Uzemnapl6). Each piece of equipment and/or auxiliary equipment had its individual work log which contained the equipment nomenclature, its necessary service schedule and a space for breakdowns and repairs. The work log had to be signed during each shift by every department chief who also added, if applicable, a note of observation if a fault were discovered in the preceding shift; to clear himself in case of any breakdown in the equipment. Every 24 hours the plant manager or his assistant reviewed the work logs and signed them. Supplementary budgetary plans were issued during the budget year, usually when an unexpected machine breakdown occurred. For examples one turbo- generator breakdown required one week to repair. The supervisor of the respec- tive turbogenerator department immediately reported the breakdown over the carrier communications system to this Turbine Department in the Electric Power Plant Trust.37? The supervisor of the turbogenerator drew up plans of expected expenses, which included material and labor,and submitted them to the plant manager who in turn submitted the supplementary plan to the Electric Power Plant Trust for approval. In case the amount needed for the repair of the turbogenerator exceeded the already approved a ro riation for the fiscal year, a supplementary appropria- tion was approved. in case a money saving improvement was in- stalled in a power plant, the supervisor of the department submitted a plan showing the saving, in which case the Electric Power Plant Trust had to be reimbursed, b.

Source stated that his'repair crew consisted of the machine shop crow and special boiler crew geared for the highest efftctency andT-c-oald- seryice a boiler in four weeks. The saving in money, which was kept secret, was divided among the boiler service crew and the plant management. Source added that the reason he kept the time and money saving secret, was because previously a few persons who had invented time-saving procedures received only a small token award, while the saving actually amounted to many thousands of forints. Most of the time was saved by the plant chemical engineer who used an unidentified formula he had obtained from a British colleague,1which dissolved boiler water residue. This solution was sprayed on the lining of the boiler after which simple scrubbing and flushing removed the residue. Previously, the removal of this residue was the most time.,consuming work in the entire servicing program. Subsequently the innovation was incorporated in routine servicing. 50X1-HUM that before the crew began servicing a boiler the carefully studied the deficiency entries in the boiler log, then the boiler was y completely disassembled and all defective parts were replaced. After reassembling the boiler a 24-hour water pressure test was conducted, which was witnessed for a few hours by the plant manager and his staff. A report of each boiler service was then made, signed by the plant manager and forwarded to the Electric Power'Plant Trust. While one boiler was being serviced, the boiler to be serviced next was closely watched for deficiencies. 50X1-HUM that the remainder of the equipment including the turbo- , generators, which were supposed to be serviced every two years, were ignored, but entered in the log as "service accom lishedN an t money allotted for their service was drawn from the bank. this money was then used to50X1-H U M carry out necessary repairs for w c a budget was originally submitted to the 50X1-HUM Electric Power Plant Trust and disapproved. the service timn allotted for a turbogenerator was four weeka. usually the double holidays (1 and 2 May and 2 Christmas days, a c. were used to perform the most needed repairs on the turbogenerators and actually a turbogenerator was serviced only once every three years. 50X1-HUM all budget expenditures for operation and maintenance were planned in advance and always closed with a deficit. Maintenance was neglected because of a shortage, of funds. For example, the construction budget of 180,000,000 Forints for the Matravid' Power Plant ran into 240,000,000 Forinta by the time remodeling was completed. Funds usually projected for the up-keep and maintenance of the plants were directed into other channels because of neces- sity. 50X1-HUM There was no shortage of skilled labor at the lower echelons such as line repairmen, mechanics and locksmiths. There was, however, a shortage in the more responsible and executive positions. Turbine breakdowns and fro ent acci dents on the job could be traced to the lack of maintenance, the chief reason for these breakdowns and accidents was the lack of maintenance funds and the reluctance on the part of some engineers to accept positions of responsi- bility for fear of severe reprisals against them in case of a major breakdown or accident. It was practically impossible under a given budget to fulfill the production norms unless one circumvented the prescribed rules and regulations of operations. Therefore, skilled engineers desired positions of skilled techni- cians rather than a job of responsibility. Source knew of such persons.

Source considered this plant as very efficient. There were no extension or improvements of any type considered for this plant. 2. Generating Units The plant had four Ganz turbogenerators, each rated at 20,000 kw generating electricity at 5,000 volts. 3. Boilers ` The plant had six boilers, 60 tph and 80 atm. Slag was removed by vacuum pumps. Only four of the six boilers were in operation while two were being serviced. Pakura oil, a derivative of crude oil;,was used to start the boilers; then they were fed pulverized coal. The boilers were manufactured by the Ganz Machine Plant, BUDAPEST. There were four circulation pumps, which had a capacity of 1,000 liters per minute. These pumps were operated by one steam operated turbine (unknown hp) while two electrically operated turbines were kept in reserve. 4. Water Supply Utility water for the plant was provided by mine ground water which was collected in an open concrete linbd reservoir, 1,000 x 1,000 m. By opening a sluice at the bottom of tfie -reservoir the water flowed through an under- ground pipeline to the pump house. 5. Fuel All fuel for the plant which consisted of 3,000 kcal/kg coal waste which was furnished by the Koml6 Coal Mine. 6. Transformers The plant had four closed transformers,each 20,000 kw, oil cooled; with voltage ratio of 5/110 kv. 7. Transmission Current was 50 cycle, three phase and transmitted at 110 kv. All lines had insulators with approximately seven sheds, each 50 cm long mounted on steel towers 50 to 100 m apart depending on the terrain.

History of Plant This power plant was constructed by the ERBE at Czechoslovak expense and equipped with Czechoslovak machines., except for Hungarian transformers, between 1949 and 1952. Of the plant's output which was 80,000 kw., 60.,000 kw was to be furnished to Czechoslovakia for 25 years, while the ;remaining 20,000 kw was delivered to the Soviet Aluminum Combine, located immediately adjacent to the plant on the east. Source stated that the Hungarian people were told that the plant was constructed at Czechoslovak expense with Czechoslovak machines, but the government made a deep secret of the fact that none of the 80,000 kw production was to be used by the Hungarians and that the plant was Czechoslovak property. Source said that he thought?without being able to support his statement., that the Soviets did not pay for the 20,000 kw of power furnished them. Source stated that the plant had an ill-fated start since the responsible Czechoslovak engineers in charge of the plant operation, which was staffed with Czechoslovak and Hungarian, technicians, were forced by mutual agreement of the Czechoslovak and Hungarian Government to start operation without automatic equipment (electrical and mechanical types). Subsequently two Czechoslovak technicians were killed by a short circuit and two (new) turbogenerators were blown to bits, delaying the beginning of operations of this plant by six months. The Czechoslovaks constructed the two turbogenerators (which they had allegedly under construction for another unknown plant), the automatic equipment was also installed. All aforementioned events were kept secret from the public. A joint Czecho- slovak and Hungarian investigation was undertaken in order to fix the guilt for the 50 million forint damage caused by 'the destruction of the two turbogenerators. The Czechoslovak Government bland the Hungarian technicians employed in the plant., while a Hungarian expert commission., including Source., proved after an exhaustive and conclusive investigation that the same commission had submitted a written expert opinion to the Hungarian Ministry of Mines and Power (Electric), which was later overruledd that it was impossible in the interest of safeguarding property and lives to start high pressure boilers and large turbogenerators without automatic equipment. It was explained that Czechoslovak engineers were., at the time of the accident, in charge of the plant., and in expert opinion )that it was "impossible to supervise approximately 25 technicians (who were supposed to replace the automatic machinery until its installation in the turbo- generator house) sufficiently to have the coordination needed to overcome an unforeseen emergency within minutes. ai'ter_ the'6 plaut war finally put in operation under Hungarian management at e egtnning of 1954, 50X1-HUM and approximately 20 engineering shortcomings were overcome (including ranlty aonetrWtion of e"aai valve.," aaalt coa. structioa or coal bucket conveyor belt which broke slag carrying pipes)) the boilers and the pipes leading to b oilerk bezan to le and the automatic turbogenerator oil: feed broke down. after all these shortcomings were overcome, 50X1-HUM the ER-BE and the ungaat an co ssion including Source, submitted a report to the Ministry of Mines and Power (Electric) in which they pointed out in detail all shortcomings which had occurred, and generally blamed poor Czechoslovak planning and materials used throughout the plant. Furthermore, that the blueprints submitted to the ERBE by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Mines and Power were inadequate and had to be completely reworked prior to construction of the plant buildings. However, Czechoslovak engineers, who were in charge of the operation from 1952 to the beginning of 1954 were found competent, well trained for the position ,but had to work under constant pressure from their Ministry. A copy of above findings were for- warded to the Czechoslovak Ministry of Mines and Power. No improvements and extensions for the plant were contemplated except for the construction of an overhead bucket conveyor system.

History of Plant The B"snhid& Thermal Power Plant was constructed between 1928 and 1932 from British blueprints by German engineers. Its assumed maximum operation was 25 years. The plant was only moderately efficient, and according to Source it was planned to put this plant on stand-by basis;as soon as the Tiszpalkonya Thermal Power Plant was completed. It was planned to make a general repair of the plant as soon as it was put on stand-by basis. No additional equip- ment of any type was to be installed. 2. Generating Units The plant had four turbogenerators of the condenser type, each 15,000 kw, three phase, 50 cycles per second. Source stated that these turbogenerators were manufactured by an unidentified firm in England. 3. Boiler The plant had six boilers, each of 30 tph at 80 atm. These boilers were manufactured by Schulzer in Germany. For operation of the boilers, 3,000 kcal/kg pulverized coal was injected. Four of the six boilers were in operation while two were serviced. he Water Supply The boiler water supply was from an open reservoir located by an unidenti- fied stream in the vicinity of the plant; the water flowed through undergrovind pipes into two concrete water towers at the plant. Source stated that each tower cooled two boilers. No information on the type or capacity of water pumps used or whether the water was treated prior to use. 5. Fuel - The main source of the fuel for this plant was delivered in railroad cars from the Als6galla and Fels6galla coal mines. Source estimated that the plant used 70,000 kg of coal during a 24 hour period. A reserve for five to six days was stored in piles on the east of the railroad track in the plant area. 6. Transformers It bad four closed, oil cooled, 15,000 kw transformers,,10 110 kv. In 1948, the transformer station was enlarged. 7.

The turbogenerators, boilers and their auxiliary equip= ment were obsolete, and the plant operated with frequent breakdowns.. "r+wf transformers and their auxiliary equipment were installed at-the time the plant was nationalized. The plant had only one reserve boiler and theredbre was the only plant in Number 1 Grid forced to curtail operations for six weeks each year to allow for boiler repair and service. The curtail- ment of the plants s output caused an extra burden on the plants in Nber 1 Grid.

Excavation work began in the middle of 1956; construction work began in January 1957. The plant was to be eoaplete& at the end of the second five-year- plan., in December 1962. The plant's construction was suggested by the Electric Power Trust. Its operation was to be economical; it was at one time planned that a two man crew would operate the entire-plant for the Budapest Municipal Electrical System (PHOEBUS). 8_64i-ce saw the over-all construction plans of the plant; he had a copy in his office; however, he did not see detailed construction plans for the power , plaiit*or'pump house as they were not yet completed. Originally, this power plant" a to be constructed on Lake Balaton; its location was changed to VISE(because of the shorter transmission lines to the Nepliget Power Sufi-station'in BUDAPEST. This peak power plant was to be integrated into the Number 1 High Capacity Power Grid. 2. Water Supply Water supply for the plant was to be derived from the Danube River. A canal was constructed at an angle to the river to eliminate the flow of silt into the pump house. The canal, constructed of reinforced concrete in a "V" shape, about four meters wide at the top and about 80 meters long; no further information was available. The water level in the canal was to be the same as that of the Danube River. Four centrifugal, electrically driven water pumps, manufactured by the Lang Machine Factory in BUDAPEST, pumped the canal water to a reservoir located on a 100-meter-high hill. It took the four pumps eight hours of continuous operation to fill the reservoir, while it was to take four hours for-this water potential to be utilized by the turbines at a steady output of 20,000 kw per hour. The prime mover for each pump was a 500 hp electric motor and two 100/10 kv step-down transformers. Eight steel pipes, each about 120 meters long (further specifications unknown), carried the water to the reservoir which was made of reinforced concrete; dimensions were unknown. The water was carried to the turbines and back to the canal through four penstocks. 3. Turbogenerator Sets The four "Francis" type turbines were manufactured by the Lang Machine Factory; this type of turbine was formerly manufactured by the Pol Machine Factory in SZOMBATHELY. Each was to be 5,000 kw capacity and 10 kv. The four generators were to be manufactured by the Ganz Electric Control Equipment Company, BUDAPEST; each of 5,000 kw, three phase, 50 cycle. The generators had circulating coolers.

History This power plant was constructed between early 1949 and the fall of 1952. When completed it was immediately put into operation by the BE. Source observed this plant on several occasions' first after it began operations and' last during 1954. He said all his visits were of advisory nature and not supervisory. This plant was the most efficient in Hungary since it usedrits exhaust steam for heating the Combine and the city of Sztalinvaros (estimated population of 35,000). This plant also used waste gas of the Combine's blast furnaces to operate its boilers, and used pulverized coal in its injection system only in emergencies. This plant belonged to Number 2 Grid system and had no carrier communication system. 2. Ownership This plant was completely independent the National Power Grid System and was only controlled by the Szth.linvaros Combine. The plant's only responsibility to the Number 1 Grid was to furnish 20,000 kw electricity. Source stated that only in emergency would the plant with its full production of 60,000 kw fall under Number 1 Grid supervision. 3. Primary Function and Use This is a baseload plant. The principal user of its electricity was the,, Sztalinvarasr .. Combine which used 9000 kw. 4. Generating Unit The plant had four ioarbogeuerators, each 15,000 kw9 10 kv, 50 cycle. The turbines were manufactured at the Lang Machine Plant, and the generators at the Ganz Electric Plant., both located in BUDAPEST. 5. Boilers The plant had six boilers, each 25 tph at 60 atm. These boilers also were manufactured at the Ganz Ship Plant, Boiler Department, BUDAPEST. They were operated on the same principle as the boilers of the Csepel Thermal Electric Power Plant. The boilers were fueled by either burnable waste gases of the Sztaiinva"ros blast furnaces or with 3,000 kcal/kg pulverized injected coal. See Annex FF-1 which shows the device used for feeding waste gas to the boilers. 6. Water Supply Water was pumped from the Danube River to the water tower which contained the water treating unit and from there the water was fed into the boilers. 7. Fuel The plant received 3,000 kcal/kg coal by an overhead bucket conveyor belt system from the Koml6 and P4cs mines. The amount of reserve held in the plant was unknown. 8. Transformer The plant had four closed, oil cooled 15,000 k , 10/110 kv, 50 cycle, three phase transformers. The voltage connections were of the star type.

The local transformer was located within the thermal power plants main building. 9. Transmission One 110 kv line enter:e& the plant from 3tegedk, One 110 _,kv(.Uravt om ro: the power plant to the Nepliget transformer yard. 10. Manpower The plant employed approximately 650 persons. This comparatively high number of employees was explained by Source as the need for stand-by workers to operate the coal and slag unloading and loading system in case of emergency. 11. Miscellaneous Information 50X1-HUM the central heating system was ill lanned p and the entire Szt linvaros Combine and city piping system had to be enlarged.
