THE CLEVELAND ELECTRIC ILLUMINATING C0FPANY DUQUESNE LIGHT COFPANY OHIO EDISON COFFANY THE TOLEDO EDISON C0FPANY DOCKET N0. 50-412 BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 2 ORDER EXTENDING CONSTRUCTION COFPLETION DATE The Cleveland Electric Illuainating Company, Duquesne Light Company, Ohio Edison Company, and the Toledo Edison Company are holders of Construction Pemit No. CPPR-105 issued by the Atomic Energy Comission* on May 3,1974, for construction of Beaver Valley Powr Station, Unit No. 2 presently under construction in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, at a site jointly owned by the companies listed above as tenants in common without right of partition. The Construction Pemit was amended on April 19, 1977 by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission to delete Pennsylvania Powr Company as one of the holders of the Pemit.

On May 9,1979 the companies listed above filed a request for an extension of the completion date because construction has been delayed due to (1) increase in construction costs and the attending difficulties in obtaining capital funds, (2) a downward revision in the demand forecast for power, (3) construction diffi-culties with soil densification and containment liner welding, and (4) additional requirements for safety related matters which affected the schedule for construc-tion more severely than the companies anticipated. While all of these matters contribute to the delay requested, the pacing matters controlling the overall delay are items (1) and (2) stated above.

  • Ef fective January 20, 1975, the Atomic Energy Comission became the Nuclear Regulatory Comission and Pemits in effect on that day were continued under the authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission.
