Results of the energy facility siting analysis portion of a regional pilot study performed for the anticipated National Energy Siting and Facility Report are presented. The question of cell analysis versus site-specific analysis is explored, including an evaluation of the difference in depth between the two approaches. A discussion of the possible accomplishments of regional analysis is presented. It is concluded that regional siting analysis could be of use in a national siting study, if its inherent limits are recognized. and the District of Columbia. The pilot test contractor for the study was The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL/JHU). Active participation of each of the five states and the District of Columbia was solicited, with the result that each designated a representative to participate on a steering committee, which was established to assist in the definition and scheduling of the work, and to assure that special problems or unique features applicable to the various states were treated properly. The contract was administered by a representative of the state of Maryland. This paper reviews the results of the energy facility siting analysis portion of the regional pilot study.
