PPal TWO NORTH NINTH STREET, ALLENTOWN, PA. 18101 PHONEi f2151 S21 5151 September 4, 1979 Mr. Donald E. Sells, Acting Branch Chief Environmental Projects Branch 2 Division of Site Safety and Environmental Analysis U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 SUSQUEHAtNA SES DOCKET NOS. 50-387 COtKENTS ON DES AND 50-388 ER 100450 FILE 991-2 PLA- 396

Dear Mr. Sells:

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

Very truly yours, N. W. Curtis JSF 0587:5 Copy to:

Mr. Paul Leech Mail Stop P522 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 PENNSYLVANIA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY

5. 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.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS No Comment el h

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

Line 7 - 4970 MN is without UGI.

2. 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.
