Dear Mr. Dail:
SUBJECT:
SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CHEROKEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3, AND PERKINS NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 In the Duke Power Company press release of June 18, 1979 that you forwarded to us, you indicated that Cherokee Units 1 and 2 would each be scheduled for commercial operation in 1987 and 1989, instead of 1985 and 1987, respec-tively.
You also indicated that financial comitments for operating units beyond 1989 would be postponed and that this means that a final decision has not been made on construction of Cherokee Unit No. 3 and Perkins Nuclear Station Units 1, 2 and 3.
We are assessing potential impacts of this announcement on NRC resource needs and priorities. To assist us in this task, please provide us with the following:
(1)
Confirmation that the June 18, 1979 press release represents Duk Power Company's current plans relative to the Cherokee and Perkins Nuclear Stations.
(2)
Confirmation that Duke Power Company's forecasted annual peak load growth during the 1982-1994 period is about 4.8 percent.
(3)
Duke Power Company's forecasted annual peak load growth during the 1979-1981 period.
(4)
A revised sumary of load, capacity, and reserves, similar to the suninary enclosed with your letter of January 9,1978, except to show hypothetical latest dates of capacity additions to assure reserves of 20% or greater.
Use 1978 actual peaks, the #orecast of (3) above, the forecasts of (2) above for all years 1982 and beyond, and assume construction of Cherokee 3 after Cherokee 2 followed by Perkins 1, 2 and 3.

(8)
An identification of site features and components, fully or partially fabricated, subject to your QA program and an identification of any special QA provisions that will be implen,ented as a result of your stated postponement of financial comitments for generating units beyond 1989.
