APPLICANTS' REPLY TO SCANP PROPOSED FINDINGS ON FINANCIAL QUALIFICATIONS This is Applicants' reply to the proposed findings on financial qualifications filed by SCANP on November 9, 1979 (SCANP Proposed Findings) .

1. SCANP argues that the construction of Skagit will be delayed and that this will cause the cost of Skagit to exceed Applicants' estimate. SCANP Proposed Findings Nos.

3-5, pp. 2-3. Except for the possible effect of the cur-rent suspension of licensing, the points urged by SCANP were answered in Applicants' proposed findings on finan-cial qualifications filed October 8, 1979 (Applicants Pro-posed Findings).

2. As to the possible effect of the suspension, obviously the construction of Skagit will be delayed. How-ever, neither the extent of the delay nor the cost impact of the delay, if any, can be predicted at this time. The 1619 079 3912260cjf

speculations offered by SCANP on these matters provide no basis for any finding by the Board.

3. The remainder of the findings proposed by SCANP challenge the validity of Applicants' financial projec-tions. SCANP Proposed Findings Nos. 6-11, pp. 4-10.

The principal points urged by SCANP were answered in Applicants' Proposed Findings and in the findings pro-posed by the NRC Staff. However, one point warrants further comment.

4. Throughout its proposed findings, SCANP has taken a short term view, virtually ignoring the fact that the construction of Skagit, and the raising of funds for its construction, will extend over a period of years. For example, in the case of projected inflation rates, interest rates, ratios of market-to-book-value, and return-to-equity rates, SCANP has focused primarily on the present situation or most recent rates in criticizing Applicants' projections. This is an unsound approach, when the purpose is to judge the reasonableness of projections extending 10 or 12 years into the future, as here.
