O SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC AND GAS C0FPANY AND SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY VIRGIL C. SUMFER NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NO. 50-395 ORDER EXTENDING CONSTRUCTION C0FPLETION DATE South Carolina Electric and Gas Company and South Carolina Public Service Authority are the holders of Construction Permit No. CPPR-94 issued by the Atomic Energy Comission* on March 21, 1973 for the construction of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station presently under construction at the company's site in Fairfield County, South Carolina. By letters dated December 10, 1976 and January 14 and February 2,1977, the permittees filed requests for an extension of the latest construction completion date for the f acility from January 1,1978 to 0ecember 31, 1980, because con-
~
struction has been delayed due to (1) the change in the design of the.
reactor vessel support system coupled with a delay in fabrication of the embedments for the reactor vessel support system; (2) delay due to the discovery of a shear fracture zone at the site and attendant evaluatio:1; (3) delay caused by discovery of voids in the concrete liner behind con-tainment liner plates and attendant evaluation and corrective action; (4) redesign of the restraint system required to mitigate high energy pipe break; (5) delays due to procurement of certain critical materials required for the main steam isolation valves, cm.ponent cooling water punps and motors, service water numps and motors, and steel for the reactor building liner; and (6) delay in completion of additional geologic contour mapping required for seismic analysis.
- Effective January 20, 1975, the Atomic Energy Comision became the Nuclear Regulatory Comission and permits in effect on that day continued under the authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission.

. This action involves no significant hazards consideration, good cause.has been shown for the delay, and the requested extension is for a reasonable period, the bases for which are set forth in the staff evaluation dated January 30, 1979. The preparation of an environmental impact state-ment for this particular action is not warranted because there will be no environmental impact attributable to the Order other than that which has already been predicted and described in the Comission's Final Environmental Statement for the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, published in January 1973 and the Draft Environmental Statement published in September 1972. A negative Declaration and an Environmental Impact Appraisal have been prepared and are available, as are the above stated documents, for puSlic inspection at the Comission's Public Document Room,1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D. C.
20555 and at the local public document room established for the Virgil C.
Summer Nuclear Station in the Richland County Public Library,1400 Sumter Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201.
It is HEREBY ORDERED THAT the latest completion date for CPPR-94 be extended from January 1,1978 to December 31, 1980.
