The total pulsed power requirement is in OUT.DAT:

 Total pulsed power (MW)                                                  (pacpmw)                  8.847E+02  OP 

and is calculated as follows:

        #  Total pulsed power system load, MW
        heat_transport_variables.pacpmw = (
            ppfmw
            + bdvmw
            + ptfmw
            + crymw
            + heat_transport_variables.vachtmw
            + heat_transport_variables.htpmw
            + heat_transport_variables.trithtmw
            + pheatingmw
            + basemw
            + buildings_variables.efloor * pkwpm2 / 1000.0e0
        )

However, the last term should not be included, as it is also included in the baseline (non-pulsed) power:

        #  Total baseline power to facility loads, MW
        heat_transport_variables.fcsht = (
            basemw + buildings_variables.efloor * pkwpm2 / 1000.0e0

which is also included in OUT.DAT:

 Total base power required at all times (MW)                              (fcsht)                   1.504E+02  OP
