Abstract
In 1972, Bethlehem Steel''s plant at Sparrows Point faced huge expenditures to bring blast furnaces into compliance with environmental legislation. Focuses on five possibilities: clean up of existing ancient furnaces, build new 5400 ton/day furnace, build new 8000 ton/day furnace, install electric furnaces or build new cupola design furnace for scrap processing. Decision is sensitive to many factors, from scrap prices to technological risk. Data available for judging this sensitivity.
