Dear Mr. Thies:

Thank you for your letter of March 12, 1974, concerning definitions er..-
~
terms ur,ed in our Operating Status Report.
1 We are aware of the differences between our definitions and those used 2
by EEI in their publications. We de not believe that including standby
- y time in the calculatico of plant and reacter availability factors is appropriate because of the conjecture associated with the assumption of' satisfactory performance during the time the unit was not actually in operation.
~
Der decision to use net electrical values la calculating the plant-capacity factor was based on the recognition that many users of the i
inforation provided are interested primarily in the met contribution of Nf nuclear. plants to the total energy pictum for the country. We recognize
-: A the problems associated with using met electrical figures, particularly in the computation of capacity factors. We plan to reassess our position on this suh. ject after a few months experience with the present. format..
Your consents Nos. 4 and 5 are not critical, of course. With respect to coament 5, we believe that the 1cnger expression we used will heip the non-specialist reader to better. understand the tene.- We agree that the two terms am synonymous. We will concider parenthetically adding the term " Period Hours" wnen we redraft the blant "boaN art" used in production of the report.-

- Sincerely..
