Zion's loss would reduce power supplies below levels considered adequate to maintain reliable service. Should the demand for elec- tricity be less than now projected, the impact would be less severe; however, should plants now under construction be delayed, the im- pact would be more severe. PurChased power from other utilities is the most immediate way to replace Zion's power, but :the existing transmission network may be a limiting factor. New non-nuclear plants can be constructed to reploce Zion, but they would not be available befqre the 1990s. Measures to reduce electric demand also have long-term potential, al- thogh their effectiveness will depend on cost , customer acceptance, economic condi- tion , and regulatory and other governmental poli, ies. GA() discusses the prot and cons of closing the 'ion facility. 1 i 111 III D S7,4d 116741 to EMD-82-3 U OCTOBER 21, 1981
