Dear Mr. Sells:

Attached are PPGLIs comments on the Draft, Environmental Statement issued by NRC in June, 1979.

Table 4.1 - This table contains several typographical errors.

A copy of the table with corrections indicated will be forwarded under separate cover.

6.

Table 4.5, pg. 4-16 Staff assumptions regarding Tux'bine Building releases do not allow credit for the leakoff collection system.

Staff assumptions regarding the off-gas system releases axe significantly higher than the ER-OL estimates.

It appears this is due to a failure to adjust the charcoal absorption factors for temperature.

Applicant believes that iodine releases should be reduced due to the use the leakoff collection system.

5.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING Table 5.1, pg. 5.3 - This table has been updated to reflect changes in sampling locations and station nomenclature corrections.

The lower limits of detection have also been revised per NUREG 0473.

A copy of the table with corrections indicated will be forwarded under separate cover.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS No Comment el h 7.

NEED FOR POWER Section 7.1, pg. 7 The present schedule for commercial operation of Unit 1 is July, 1981 and for Unit 2, October, 1982.

Section 7.3.2, pg. 7 The annualized construction cost of $ 105 million is from FES-CP.

The cost of the plant to PP5L in the ER-OL is forecast to be

$ 1.9 billion.

With an assumed 15" levclized annual carrying charge rate a carrying charge of $ 285 million per year results.

Table 7.4, page 7.5 appears to contain two errors.

First, firm purchases are accounted for twice.

Normally, these transactions are either added to total capacitors or subtracted from peak load.

Since 76 MWe are included in total capacities, this amount should not be subtracted from the Winter Peak.

Second, for years 1982 through 1985, only Unit 1 was subtracted from the total capacities to calculate reserves without Susquehanna.

Unit 2 should also be deducted.
