Table 4.4 Nuclear Fuel Prices (1978 $/10$ Btu) for Future Scenarios Table 4.5 Electrical Generation in Comparative Assessment Scenarios and Two Other Projections (10$ kWh) comparative assessment scenarios fall within the range of those reported by EIA (with the exception of the nuclear/coal distribution) but lower than the EPRI projections. We do not feel that the comparative assessment scenarios are any better or worse than the EIA or EPRI scenarios, just different. However, we feel that the comparative assessment scenarios are plausible, representative, and useful for alternative future comparisons. Table 4.6 shows the total installed capacity and new base load construction for the six scenarios. Since the total capacity and additions were not substantially different for several of the scenarios, only the three most representative scenarios (UH, UI, and Cl) were selected for comparative analysis. These cases represent the range of energy growth in the six scenarios. Tables 4.7-4.9 report the cumulative capacity for each technology for the three scenarios with and without SPS. These capacity levels will serve as the basis for the comparative analyses reported in subsequent sections of this report.
