Just curious as to what the last rain was worth.

So whats the power check look like full blast?
154 MW times $.07/KWH or $70/MWH = $10,780 per hour =  $258,720 per day


Draw down is  23,674/1,622,000    or  1.5% total lake volume per day.
It takes about 67 days to draw down the full pool with full generation.

So it would take 70% of 67 days to draw down the rain we just had.

So 47 days of full generation or the value of the rain is  $12,159,840


So I want to work on my boathouse and want the water at 480 pronto.
You'd have to spill 2/3 of that reserve or $8 million to facilitate me.

Of course the important question is:
Is there enough diesel fuel on site to cool the nuclear reactor cores?
