te, and peaking plants to other accepted uses of these terms. Where the applicant’s designations do not conform to accepted uses, determine the reason for the differences. (3) Analyze the region’s present and planned generation mix in light of the region’s present and planned purchases and sales (firm and nonfirm) of power and energy. (a) Include nonfirm purchases and sales of power when considering the capability of the relevant region’s power system. (b) Include firm sales and purchases of power when considering the applicant’s peakload responsibility. (c) Consider the relevant region’s and applicant’s role as either a net purchaser or net seller. (d) Quantify shifts in the relevant region’s and applicant’s position over time, i.e., whether the region and applicant are becoming more dependent or less dependent on purchasing power from or selling power to other systems. (e) Identify and determine the reasons for any unusual purchases or sales that have occurred. (f) Consider the possibility of a reduction in overall capacity requirements for the region that could be accomplished by the wheeling and pooling of power. (4) Where the relevant region plans deratings, redesignations, or retirements (whose total is 200 MW or more) within approximately 2 years before or after the proposed date of commercial operation of the proposed project, determine the reasons for such a change. NUREG-1555 8.3-6 October 1999 (a) Determine the reasons for all 100-MW or larger unit redesignations or retirements. (b) Analyze the historical, present, and projected ratio of baseload capacity to total capacity and determine reasons for any large variations in this ratio over time. (5) Determine whether ` the description of present and planned capacity correctly identifies baseload, intermediate, and peaking units and that planned additions are reasonable ` the description of present and planned purchases and sales of power and energy correctly identifies the applicant’s
