Amendment No. I to the Environmental Report for WPPSS Nuclear Project

! -T 2 -

No. I replaces' the' previous Environmental Report, deals with relocation '

j -

. - to a different site at Hanford, and includes a description cf a duplicate

' unit at that site. It is suggested that the following additional infor- .

. motion be requested from the applicant. , .a

.~. . , ;w

{

1. - Subsection 1.1.1.9 on " Facts Potentially Affecting Demand" should y',

_ include a discussion of the recent experiences in the Pacific '

' Northwest in conserving electrical energy and the long-term -

implications with regard to load projections.

2. Various figures are given for the capacity factor of the nuclear 1 '

i plant. In Table 8.1-1, the entries for capacity and expected average annual generation (first year) correspond to a capacity factor of

. m .. about 755. -Table 8.2-2 in footnote (2) gives a capacity factor of i 4 % 62.35. Table 9.3-2 gives a systas capacity factor of 57% for the N. '

. fnuclear. plant. These differences should be explained. -, 1
