APPLICANTS' RESPONSE TO THE BOARD?S MAY 27, 1983 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER In its May 27, 1983 " Memorandum and Order (Ruling on Cost Savings Contentions, Discovery Disputes, and Scheduling Matters)"

(at 8, note 8), the Board directed:

The Applicants should advise the Board by July 1, 1983, that they accept the Staff's 55% capacity factor [as set forth in the DES at 6-3] or file by that date a con- .

tention that the factor should be higher, and the basis therefor.

Applicants accept, for the purpose of calculating the benefit l

from operation of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant as described in the NRC Staff's Draft Environmental Impact. Statement, an assumed capacity factor of 55% for the Harris units. In light l

of the operating history of Westinghouse PWR's with overall average lifetime capacity factors in the mid-60% range and the lifetime 8307060173 830701 PDR ADOCK 05000400

] )303

i 9 2-( capacity factor of Carolina Power & Light Company's Robinson l

Unit 2 (a Westinghouse PWR) of 66%, Applicants view the Staff's l

assumption as clearly conservative. Furthermore, the NRC Staff's view is that a reasonable assumption for lifetime average capacity factor would be 55% to 65%.-1/ The Staff used the low end of the range for purposes of the DES analysis. However, we do not object to such conservatism in preparing the cost-benefit section of the DES.
