e } a. Evaluation of Reactor Licensing Schedule Performance in 1976,1977 and 1978 Assunptions, Definitions and Comments (1) Duration data current as of 12/31/78 (2) Only first units of multi-unit OL applications are included in duration statistics (3) OL review durations have no significance. OL applications often are submitted too early. Also an OL cannot be issued until construction is complete. The only significant criterion is whether the OL was issued when the applicant and the facility were ready for fuel loading. Time to Fuel Load Ready is time i between docketing and plant ready for fuel ioading. (4) All durations are rounded to the nearest whole month (5) Target schedule is schedule duration established at review inception (6) Duration identified as " Federal Licensing Related" is obtained by subtracting from the total duration those schedule delays, designated as "Other", which are not related to the Federal licensing process. Such adjustments include State and local pennit delays, applicant construction delays and deferrals, and applicant-initiated design changes. The resulting " Federal Licensing Related" duration is that which is attributable to the requirements of the Federal agencies, including the NRC. l (7) Duration identified as "NRC Controlled" is obtained by sub-tracting from " Federal Licensing Related" duration those i schedule delays which are related to the Federal licensing i process but are beyond NRC control. Such adjustments include court decisions, late applicant submittals and discovery of natural phenomena. "NRC Controlled" is the licensing duration which is the result of the Federal licensing process and also is under NRC control. It is the schedule performance parameter by which NRC may be judged. LWA is Limited Work Authorization. CP is Construction Pennit. OL is Operating License. PDA is Preliminary Design Approval for a standardized plant design. ~~.
