,ilZt\ W PUGET POWrR TO MOVE NUCLEAR PLANTS TO HANFORD Puget Sound Power & Light Company announced its plans today to move the site of the Skagit Nuclear Power Project from Skagit County to the Hanford Reservation near Richland, Washington.
According to Company President John W. Ellis, Puget Power and its three project partners (Pacific Power & Light Company, Portland General Electric Company, and The Washington Water Power Company) will seek state and federal authorization to build the project on a tract of land to be acquired from the Department of Energy.
Ellis said there are three principal reasons for the move --
the ability to bring the plants on line earlier with less licensing risk, the excellent characteristics of the Hanford site, and community acceptance.
"Although we believe we will be able to bring the project on line earlier at Hanford than we could at the Skagit site, these units still will not be providing electricity to our customers until the 1990s," Ellis said.
" Based on our review of the changed evaluation of the Skagit site area by the United States Geological Survey, we think our time and efforts would be better spent in licensing the units at

Hanford than in re-proving the Skagit site. We ran out of the luxury of time a few years ago. We are faced with shortages through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and we have to protect our
,
customers from them."
Ellis cited several reasons for relocating the units in the Tri-Cities area -- access to a pool of operating expertise, ample cooling water, related elements of the nuclear fuel cycle nearby, and the isolated nature of the site. The fact that Hanford is a proven nuclear site should allow the project to be constructed more quickly there.
"The strong community expertise and support will be a real plus," Ellis added.
Ellis said the Three Mile Island incident, coupled with last November's rejection of the Skagit Project by voters and authorities in Skagit County, played the key role in making the decision to relocate at Hanford.

Ellis stressed that, while the eastward move should enable the project to be completed in less time than at Ska. git, the units will not solve the 1980-1990 projected energy shortage.
" Studies by the Pacific Northwest Utilities Conference Committee forecast a 100 percent probability of a shortage of firm power. That means possible curtailments to customers during periods of low water and cold weather. We are fighting i for every bit of energy we can to get us through this period.
We will have to keep building smaller generation facilities and buying.more expensive forms of energy until base-load nuclear

investigations are in progress to evaluate such potential re-sources as wind and geothermal energy.
Ellis again pointed to conservation as the cheapest and
--
most readily available source of additional electricity.
"The more electricity that is saved, the less we have to produce.
And obviously, the less the customer uses, the less he has to pay for," Ellis said. "Even for those.who may feel the need now is greater they already have cut to the limit,
