Employment and Land Requirements forAlternatives to Byron Units I and 2 and

Braidwood Units I and 2

This discussion supports the alternatives analysis in Chapter 7 of the EnvironmentalReport.

Spreadsheets were used to estimate (1) the number of full time employees needed forconstruction and operation of hypothetical coal- and gas-fired and nuclear electricgeneration units that could be built to provide the same net generating capacity as theexisting units (rounded up to 2,400 megawatts electric (MWe) to be the same for bothByron and Braidwood), (2) the amount of land required for a variety of alternativeelectric generation technologies (e.g. coal- and gas- fired electric generation units,nuclear, hydropower, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, and geothermal) that couldprovide approximately the same net generating capacity as the existing units. For thecoal- and gas-fired alternatives the net generating capacity was based on availablestandard-size units (four 600 MW units for coal and six 400 MW units for gas).

All estimates are based on data from recent studies and projects constructed within thepast eight years. The available data was normalized by determining the amount perMW for each alternative technology. To estimate the number of employees or amountof land needed, the analyst inputs the size (in MW) of the alternative technology into thespreadsheet. The spreadsheet multiplies the size of the plant by the amount per MWand enters the result in a summary table. Figure 1 is the summary table from thespreadsheet. Figure 2 shows the calculations for the gas-fired alternative. Figure 3show the calculations for the pulverized coal-fired alternative. Figure 4 shows thecalculations for the new nuclear power alternative. Figure 5 shows the land requirementcalculations for renewable alternatives (e.g., hydropower, solar, wind, and geothermaltechnologies).

The average solar radiation available for the ROI as well as for Southern California (where solar technologies are mostpromising) was derived from NREL maps of solar photovoltaics (PV) resource potential and concentrating solar power (CSP)resource potential for the United States. The land requirement per MWe was used to calculate the land requirement for asolar plant.
