Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

II. Discussion 

The NRC is developing new guidance 

to update replacement energy cost 

estimates for both short- and long-term 

nuclear power plant outages. The new 

guidance document, NUREG–2242, 

‘‘Replacement Energy Cost Estimates for 

Nuclear Power Plants: 2020–2030,’’ 

when finalized, updates and replaces 

the information contained within 

NUREG/CR–4012, Volume 4, 

‘‘Replacement Energy Costs for Nuclear 

Electricity-Generating Units in the 

United States: 1997–2001,’’ and 

NUREG/CR–6080, ‘‘Replacement 

Energy, Capacity, and Reliability Costs 

for Permanent Nuclear Reactor 

Shutdowns’’ (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML20073J435 and ML20076F500, 

respectively). 

Replacement energy costs are 

estimated for the U.S. electricity 

wholesale market regions with nuclear 

electricity-generating units over the 

2020–2030 study period. These 

estimates were developed to assist the 

NRC in evaluating proposed regulatory 

actions that (1) require safety 

modifications that might necessitate 

temporary reactor outages and (2) 

reduce the potential for extended 

outages resulting from a severe reactor 

accident. Estimates were calculated 

using ASEA Brown Boveri’s PROMOD 

model and ICF’s Integrated Planning 

Model for North America. The model 

simulates dispatching a collection of 

generating units in merit order (i.e., 

lowest to highest incremental cost of 

dispatch) until the regional power 

demand is met. Each generating unit is 

characterized by the technology and fuel 

it uses to generate electricity, the unit’s 

heat rate, and the variable and fixed 

costs incurred in owning and operating 

the unit. To estimate the replacement 

energy cost, the study models a 

Reference Case, in which all operational 

nuclear power plants are generating, 

and an Alternative Case, in which a 

nuclear generating unit is taken offline 

so that the next unit in merit order is 

dispatched to replace the lost 

generation. The difference in market 

clearing prices between the two cases is 

the replacement energy cost. 

The resulting wholesale power price 

projections capture the dynamics and 

economics of the U.S. electricity 

markets, which provide short- and longterm replacement energy cost estimates 

on a market area basis. Factors that 

affect replacement energy costs, such as 

load growth, replacement sources of 

generation, fuel prices, air emission 

requirement outlooks, and seasonal 

variations were treated in the analysis. 

On November 18, 2020, the NRC held 

a Category 3 public meeting (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20336A181) to 

discuss the updated replacement energy 

cost estimates. The NRC appreciates 

feedback received from the November 

18, 2020 public meeting and will 

consider comments received during the 

public comment period when 

developing the final NUREG–2242. 

After Commission approval and 

publication of the final NUREG–2242, 

the NRC plans to develop an appendix 

to NUREG/BR–0058, Revision 5, 

‘‘Regulatory Analysis Guidelines of the 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML19261A278) 

to provide guidance for applying the 

replacement energy cost estimates. 

Dated: December 15, 2020. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
