Dear Mr. McDonald:
Re:
Dela s in Nuclear Power Plant Constructi'on The following is in response to your telegram of September 10, 1974, requesting information concerning nuclear units to be granted construction permits in FY 1975.
Your telegram was not received by this office until the morning of September 24,
- 1974, when it was telecopied to us by Mr. Lovelace of the AEC; accordingly, we were unable to meet your requested reply dat'e of September 20, 1974.
Florida Power 6l'ight Company's St.,Lucie,Unit No.
2 ocLc No. 50-389 is,'sch'eduled to be 'granted a',Construction Perm'n ay-No delays of the estimated September 1979 fuel loading and December 1979 commercial operation dates are anticipated due to'inancial conditions or need for power considerations.
Obviously, these estimated dates c'n,, in the future, be affected by other compl'ex, factors such as the obtaining of all'equired'ederal, sta'te and local approvals to start construction, the equipment procurement process and labor force utilization, to name a Sew.
When a firm construction start date is assured and
- later, when construction begins, the effect of these other factors can be more accurately assessed.
. Nevertheless, it is to be emphasized that St. Lucie Unit No.
2 is a priority construction project for FPL and that all, efforts will be directed toward commencing commercial operation at the earliest feasible date.
Yours ery truly,
,Robert E. Uhrig Vice President REU:nch cc:
