Dear Sir:
As the owner and operator of four nuclear power units (two each at the S:uty and l
North Anna Power Stations), we have met with the Louisiana Energy Services (LES) company to discuss their operational plans and progress in licensing the proposed Claiborne Enrichment Center. In a recent meeting, IIS provided us with the Executive Summary of the NRC's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), NUREG-1484, l
with its conclusion that the impact of the facility would be small and acceptable to the NRC.
Our purpose in writing to you is not to comment on the speciScs of the DEIS, but instead to convey to you the importance we place on the commercial (i.e., competitive) need for a facility such as the proposed Center. As a user of enrichment services, and as a utility dedicated to ensuring low cost fuel supply for its customers, we would welcome the additional domestic competition to be gained by the addition of the proposed Center. Over 30% of the energy used by our customers is from nuclear power, and a competitive nuclear fuel supply market helps to ensure the lowest possible cost of fuel used in generating that energy.
Our own uncommitted enrichment service needs increase significantly beginning as The early as Fiscal Year 1996, and continuing on throughout the 1990's and later.
opportunity for LES to do business with us in this time frame is very real, but would, of course, depend on their progress in completing the regulatory review process and proceeding to actually build the proposed Center.
In summary, we are pleased to see the results of the DEIS, and we want to convey to you that as an end-user, Virginia Power believes there is room and a need in the competitive market for the proposed Center. Please contact me should you have any questions.
Very truly yours, ggg b
