3 AND 4 SITE VISIT BY DHKCTORATE OF LZCL)SIN~
~Fh Detailed inforration is reeded on such things as:
1.
The water depth near the intake structure.
2.
The water velocity at the intake screens.
3.
The transit tim of water through the condenser cooling system.
4 ~
A description of the outfall structure; the water velocity at the point of discharge.
S.
Identification, location and elevation of points of release of leakage gaseous radioactiv'ty.
6.
The average annual flow through the culvert 'n F~is Reservoir.
7.
Plans to make the color and tex~e of the slant aesthetically ccmpatible with the ratural environs; how the plant profile fits with the surxnurxiing topograpny.
Mater lit Detailed information is needed on such things as:
1.
The temperature differential between the water discharged from the Harris Reservoirs and the Cape Fear River, and the expected se sonal variation in temperature and volume of the reservoir discharge.
/
2.
Increase in silt load discharged to the Cape Fear River fran Mhiteoak-Buckhorn Creek which will resultfzvm construction of Harris Units 1, 2, 3 and 4, if any.
3.
The kirds ard annunts of chemicals to be discharged in the liauid wastes released to the cooling reservoir.
Concentrations of chlorine which wi 1 be introduced into the condenser cooling system to control fouling.
Ecolo of Site and Surroundings Detailed information is needed on such thinr s as:
1.
The extent that vegetaticn willbe removed frcm the land that will be inundated by the ccoling reservoir.
2 ~
Results of entrainment studies on the Cape Fear River and Nhiteoak-
,Buckhorn Creek waters, and laboratory studies made on aquatic organism passage-through the condenser cooling system at the Brunswick!nuclear Power Plant (research directed by Dr. B. J. Copeland).
3+
Results of preliminary limnological studies conducted on Nhiteoak
.and Buckhom Creeks.
0 ~
Kinds of organisms that will be sampled, at what frequency and for what kinds of analyses in the pre-and postisnpoundment biological studies.
Radiological Dose Detailed information is needed on such things as:
1.
'The location of the nearest milk cow and the nearest land which may be converted to pasture.
2.
Average annual joint frequency distribution of wind direction (16 point compass),
wind speed and stability class (delta T only) in percent of occurrence.
3.
Detailed description of proposed radiation mcnitoring pmgram including sampling sites, types of samples, frequency of sampling, types of analysis, description of analyzing equipnent, consultants for the program and who will conduct the sampling and analyzing.
The exact locations and projected usage (man-hrs/yr) of anticipated creational sites on Harris Reservoir.
5.
The proposed plans for public access to the exclusion area;
- when, where and hcw often.
Need for Power and Cost Benefit Detailed information is needed on such things as:
1.
System peak load and capacity data for years 1965-1976.
2.
Estimates of capital ard fuel costs for nuclear, oil, and coal plants.
3.
Based on 1971 Wake County tax structure, the expected county tax payments on the Harris Plant.
Capital and annual operating cost penalties (if any) for the following cooling options:
Cooling Lake Mechanical Draft Tower (including 7,200 acre pond)
Natural Draft Tower (including 7,200 acre pond) 5.
What loss of capacity, if any, would be expected fmm the tower options.
6.
How the cost penalty for loss of capacity is calculated.
7~
Any land use plans made by the County Planning Board for the area to be occupied by the plant; typical land costs in this area.
References The team needs the follcwing references from the Environmental Report and specified maps to be available for inspection at the time of the site visit:
