    The document is a reading comprehension task about the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power in 1968. It contains multiple choice and short answer questions about the different methods used to generate electricity at that time, including the most common fuel for steam turbines, factors affecting the location of fuel-oil power stations, and the maximum generating capacity of nuclear power plants. It also asks about hydroelectric power development, advantages and disadvantages of gas turbines and diesel generators, the purpose of substations, circuit sizes for commercial customers, and typical voltage ranges for residences. Key terms like low-demand period, idle generators, capable of frequent start-ups, and light system-load periods are explained.
