including projected earnings to approximate the amount remaining |
|
|
to be accumulated to cover the cost of decommissioning a nuclear |
|

generating unit at the end of its operating license period |
|
|
divided by the remaining years of the license and in accordance |
|
|
with applicable state and federal laws and regulations or over a |
|
|
shorter period of time at the election of the power generation |
|
|

|
|
Explanation: The alteration of the text not in |
