Dicker, Chief, EP-2, L Attendees EP-LA-RWade VISIT TO OCOMEE MUCLEAR POWER PLANT SITE UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 on March 8, 1973, Mr. Cordon L. Dicker and 1 visited the ocones site to aset with Duke Power personnel; to review the impleasantation of the environmutal monitoring prograns; to inspect the site, environs, I.
J and plant fnenities and to evaluate the laboratory, analysia and 1
other support facilities.
We also had a very interesting and inforr.ative discussion with a representative of the Department of Interior's Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. The Eureau has in operation an extensive 10 year environisental rasaarch program (with financial support froan Duka) on the effect of tharnal enric1==r and pumped storage operation.
A summary of the discussion is attached.

O Ocom 2 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT SITE VISIT UNITS 1, 2. AND 3 March 8, 1973 Oconee Unit i had been scheduled to go critical on March 7, 1973. However, en oil fire in contain==vt two days previous will delay start up for an indefinite period. Nro is some question as to whether oconee 1 - which Duke had originally expected to be avnf1=hle for the summer of 1971 - will even be available for this stanmer's peak loads.
A tour of the site and area included the visitors' center; the intake canal skinn=r well; the intaka structure; discharge structure; substation; tran==4=sion facilities; the dams, Lakes Knowse and Rartwell; units 1 and 2; and the three automatie, continuous water sampling and monitoring stations on Lake Keowee.
I N expected peak loads on the Duke Power company system for the next few years were discussed along with expected systen capability. If oconee 1 will be on the line and all thermal and hydroelectric plants are on the line, Duke's capacity to meet peak loads will be marginal.
If Ocones 1 is not on the line, the installed gaserating capacity will mot be sufficient for the projected peak loads.
1 Duka Power has implemented all of the water quality monitoring programs required in the Techia=1_ Specifications. In addition, they are conducting other environmental monitoring programs, primarily with staff personnel. Mr. Fred Grey, for example, has 13 people studying the effect of Duka Power's generating facilities on fish in the various reservoirs I
sad impoundments.
1 Mr. Jerry Talbot outlined the extensive program the Bureau of Sports Fisheries has established with Duka Power to investigate the effect of thermal enrichment and pumped storage an fish. N Burman has j
established a resident office at ci--an University; the 8 member staff will be increased to 12 to 14 when the hiring freeze is lifted. The staff is considerably augmented by contreets with f*1==,on and the University of Coorgia professors and graduate students. Current plana are for a ten year program. Mr. Talbot furnished as a detailed descriptica of the projects which have been estab1W to date. They expect to i
considerably increase the programs in the next two years as more personnel and funds become availahla. N att=* w entlias of this year's projects provides an indication of their approach.
