Dear Mr. Novick:
In a telephone discussion on March 28, 1979 with R. Gene Clark, Chief, Nuclear Energy Analysis Division, Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy, I received their most recent estimates of nuclear power growth through the end of 1995. These are expected to remain firm within a Gigawatt electric (GWe) although for publication purposes the estimates may be rounded to the nearest 5 GWe. The tatie below shows their projections:
End of Year Low Middle High 1985 102 GWe 113 GWe 118 GWe 1990 142 GWe 154 GWe 171 GWe 1995 186 GWe 208 GWe 224 GWe For our purposes, in the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Handling and Storage of Spent Light Water Power Reactor Fuel we will use the data frcm the NRC Gray, Yellow and Brown Books in conjunction with the High and Low Energy Infonnation Administration estimates that Clark has given us to bound the installed nuclear power generating capacity extrapolated to the end of year 2000.
Sincerely, G
6D&J John P. Roberts, Project Manager Fuel Reprccessing and Recycle Branch Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety
