BACKGROUND In February,1980 Consumers Power Company announcedb-that it is reviewing a revised cost estimate by Bechtel of $3.1 billion, (nearly double the pre-vious $1.67 billion estimate at completion of construction) and significant plant delays primarily due to TMI-2 changes and high interest charges.
Bechtel's projected fuel load date for Unit 2 is now April, 1984, and for Unit 1 is September, 1984.
These correspond to commercial operation dates of September 1984 for Unit 2, March 1985 for Unit 1 electrical output and May 1985 for Unit 1 process steam to Dow.
The previous fuel load projec-decided 2 tion waf June 81 for Unit 2 and November 81 for Unit 1.
The applicant has
- to continue construction of both units, even though the terms of the Dow Chemical contract may not be met if the Bechtel estimate is correct.
The Dow contract calls for commercial operation of both units by the end of 1984.
Dow's intentions as a result of the increase in cost of process steam and delay have not been announced.
The applicant will complete its schedule and cost review and provide its results to its Board of Directors in July, 1980.
The plant was the subject of two inquiries under 10 CFR 50.54(f).
One matter relates to settlement of the backfill at the sita for which a December 6,1979 order from NRC would require amendment of the CP for the proposed remedial actions and for which amended notice of hearing was issued on May 20, 1980.
The second 50.54(f) matter concerns whether B&W plants with their OTSG designs are too sensitive to secondary system per-turbations. The 50.54(f) decision for the second matter is still pending and NRC and ACRS have concluded that construction may continue during this interim decision period.
At the time of the TMI-2 accident, the staff's safety review had reached the scheduled SER preparation phase.
However, it'had been determined that an excessive number of outstanding items existed.
Except for the 10 CFR 50.54(f) the staff's review has been suspended since the TMI-2 accident due to manpower limitations.
The last visit by the staff's Caseload Forecast Panel occurred on September._18-19, 1979.
A special prehearing conference order dated February 26, 1979 establishes the issues for the OL hearing.
