NOV o o gg P00R 01 BEL DOCKET NO. 50-382 APPLICANT: LOUISIANA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY FACILITY:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3
SUBJECT:
SumARY OF WATERFORD UNIT 3 SITE VISIT BY CASELOAD FORECAST PANEL Members of the NRC staff visited the Waterford plant site on September 25, 1979 to view r nstruction progress to date and to discuss construction progress with the applicant. A complete set of slides shown by the applicant during this meeting are available in LWR-2 files. Participants in this meeting are listed in Enclosure 1.
The applicant briefly described the organization of the project, including engineering, procurement, quality assurance, and startup staffing. The applicant also reported data on bulk quantities installed. These data are summarized in.
The following were major points of discussion:
1.
Overall, construction is about 3.25; behind. Half of this lag is due to lack of craft manpower, as discussed below.
2.
Installation of large pipe is ahead of schedule but that of small pipe is behind. The piping contractor (Tompkins-Eeckwith) is short of pipefitters and welders -- this is, apparently, a nationwide problem. During this shortage the available manpower will concentrate on installation of small pipe.
3.
Availability and turnover rates of manpower for the instrument contractor (Mercury), and the electrical contractor (Fishback and Moore) are also significant problems. Turnover rates range up to 30-40 percent.
4.
Canadian electricians and welders are being hired and some work is going into overtime, adding incentive for workers to stay on the job. Lower turnover increases producti.vity. The Canadians are high-productivity workers.
5.
A new HVAC contractor has been hired and is producing 50% better.
6.
Cable-pulling has fallen behind. The applicant reiterated what he had told us previously: cable pulling goals are related to when the startup testing requires completed cabling. This is shown in Enclosure 3.

The preparation of startup procedures continues. They have identified about 1800 procedures required, totalling about 87,000 pages. They are trying to get procedures approved internally at least 90 days before testing begins in order to allow sor= slack time and time for hRC review.
Eleven systems out of a total of 127 have been released for test. Also, much of the instrumentation calibration is being done before installation.
Progress on procedures is tabulated in Enclosures 4 and 5.
8.
Other problems, not necessarily critical at this tire, were identified.
a.
Design and analysis of firo protection needs early feedback from fmC review. The staff noted that, due to THI-2 related activities, the staff's schedule for such review could not be established now.
b.
Stress analysis of the pressurizer relief valve piping is continuing.
This is a basic engineering problem; it is not related to TNI-2.
c.
The Lonorgan cain steam safety valves failed to nect the blowdown requirements. Lonergan is working to rodify the internals, but a parallel effort is underway to get competitive bids on other valves.
9.
With respect to THI-2 related activities, the applicant expects to be able to deternine the impact of THI-2 by the end of 1979.
10 Financially, LP!.L will be able to maintain construction at the present rate through the first few months of CY 1930. Under the law, their existing request for rate relief must be decided by the end of CY 1979.
During the exit interview the staff stated that it was willing to naintain for now the September 1981 fuel load date that we forecast at the last neeting.
However, there nust be successful recovery in construction progress to actually meet that date. Furthermore, it appears that there is no " fat" in the schedule for completion of their startup procedures and testing. The applicant agreed that, although a May 1981 completion date is still the project schedule, the Septenber 1931 date is now nore realistic.
