Dear Mr. Nightingale:
We are pleased to respond to your March 28, 1980, request for economic data relating to generation of electric power. The data presented forms the basis for Nuclear Regulatory Commission estimates of electric power I
generation and supplements the data supplied to Mr. Wells by my letter of March 22, 1978.
If there are any questions regarding this information, please feel free to directly contact Mr. Jack 0. Roberts at (301) 492-8599.

DATA REQUESTED BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC e;
STAFF UTILITIES COMMISSION CAPITAL COST A series of commercial electric power cost studies were in the final stage of being completed at the time of the Commission's last request, Mar,ch, 1978. HUREd-0241 thru 0244 was sent at that time.
thru NUREG 0248 are the remainina reports of this series.
Copies of these reports are enclosed.
The Department of Energy is funding studies at United Engineers to update the cost of coal and nuclear generating units.
The initial update reports capital, full cycle and 0 & M costs (1978 dollars) for six different nuclear and five different fossil power generating units in the expanded AEC (NUREG) Coce-of-Accounts.
This three volume document
" Final Report and Initial Update of the Energy Economic Data Base (EEDB) 1 Program Phase 1" may be obtained from United Engineers and Constructors, 30 South 17th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19101.
The updated cost has been incorporated into the CONCEPT code at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
NUREG 0480 " Coal and Nuclear: A comparison of the Cost of Generating Baseload Electricity by Region," copy enclosed, is an NRC staff report comparing the economics of coal and nuclear generating units for 10 regions of the contiguous U.S. This report is in the process of being updated. The updated report should be available about the end of 1980.
