tober 1999 Internal Costs (1) Describe each identified internal cost and outline the method used to obtain the described value (e.g., present worth cost). ` Reference to other EIS sections may be made (when appropriate) to present the basis for the staff analysis. (2) List costs, using the format shown in Table 10.4.2-1. ` Where the information to be presented would be included in the table described in ESRP 10.4.3, you may reference that table instead of repeating the information in the table for this section. ` Internal costs include capital costs (including the capital cost of added transmission lines), operating and maintenance costs, fuel costs, and decommissioning costs. ` Other costs may be classified as internal, when appropriate. ` Express all internal costs, either provided by the applicant or estimated by the staff, in monetary terms. ` For all internal costs, determine the present worth cost and levelized annual equivalent cost. - Express present worth costs in dollars of the first year of commercial operation of the first unit. - Express annual costs in dollars per year and mills per kilowatt-hour for the first year of commercial operation of the first unit. (3) Use methods and economic assumptions consistent with those used in ESRP 9.4, and use the results of calculations presented by the reviewer of ESRP 9.4 when available. (a) Where plant capacity affects a value of an internal cost, determine the cost for both the high and low extremes of the range of plant-capacity factors assumed in the review for ESRP 9.4. (b) Sum the present worth values of the internal costs to arrive at a total present worth internal cost of the proposed project. (4) Ensure that appropriate internal costs have been identified and quantified, and ensure that quantification of these costs is correct and consistent. (a) See ESRPs 2.2.3 and 2.5.2 for definitions of “region.” October 1999 10.4.2-5 NUREG-1555 External Costs (1) Describe each external cost associated with an
