{

Union Electric Compeg is the holder of Construe. ion Pemit We, CPPR-13g issued on April 16,1974 for construction of the Callaway Plant Unit No.1 on a site in Calloway County, Missouri.

By letter, dated July it.1981, Union Electric Compay filed a request for the extension of the latest constrJction completion date for the Callaway i

I Plant from Februtry 28, 1982 to December 31, 1983. The requested extension is required because of changes to Union tie-t.ic's construct.in program delaying scheduled sonpletion for twelve months resulting from, accoNing to Union Electric:

i (1) a change in the Missouri public utility law which prohibits the inclusion of construction work in progress in the rate base; and (2) projected load growth

~-

being less than originally anticipated. The aforementioned state f ew change, according to Union Electric, affected the amount of funds available for j

construction of the Callaway Plant. Additional reasons for the extension j

include successive strikts by the laborers' and the operating eisgineers' unions i

which together lasted nine weeks, and design changes to the plant initiated j

to satisfy NRC requirements resulting from tne accident at Three Mile Island.

included in the new requirements are two new buildings, a Technical support Center l

a uperational prior to fuel loading. The time reoutred for design and construction of these two facilities will extend beyond the earlier, fuel load date of April 1981.

I In addition, the productivity of construction labor has been lower than anticipated and is requiring more senheurs than estianated at the initial planning stage, due, in part, to increased quality control requirements.

i a

This action involves no significant hazards consideration, good cause has been shown for the delays, and the requested extension is for a reasonable t1w, the bases for which are set forth in the staff's evaluation of the request for j

i extension.

i The Comission has detemined that this action will not resu!; in any significant environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 51.5(d)(4), an environmental inpact statement, or negative declaration and enviroment 1 impact appraisal, need not be prepared in connection with t!iis action.

The NRC Staff evaluation and the order and the request for extension of the construction pemit are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public f

Document Room located at 1117 N Street, W. W., Washington, D. C. 20555 and at the Fulton City Library, 709 Market St eet, Fulton, Missouri and at the Olin Library i

of Washington University, Skinker and Lindell Boulevards, St. Louis, Missouri 63130.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the latest construction completion date for CPPR-139 be extended from February 28, 1982 to December 31, 1983.

A.

INTRODUCTION l

Union Electric Company is the holder of Construction Pemit No. CPPR-139 issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Coumission on April 16,1976 for construction of the Callaway Plant, Unit 1.

The plant is presently under construction at a site located in Callaway County, Missouri approximately 30 miles south of Cclumbia, Missouri. In occordance with Section 185 of the Atanic Enery Act of 1954, as amended 42 U. 5. C. Section 2235 10 CFR Section 50.5$,and in accordance with the i

Commission's regulations the Constmetion Pemit states the earliest and latest dates for the completion of construction. By letter dated July it.1981, the pemittee advised t'w NRC staff that construc-tion could not be cespleted by the latest date presently specified, namely l

February 28,1982.

The pemittee has therefore requested in the July 22,1981 letter that the Construction Pemit be extended to December 31, 1983. In accordance with 1

10 CFR Section 50.56 (b), the staf f, having found good cause shown, and for the reasons stated below, is extending the latest completion date to December 31, i

1983.

This evaluation contains the following Sections: Section 8, the specification of ' good cause' shown by the pemittee for an extension, i.e., the specific l

delays which the pemittee has cited in support of its request for an extension; Section C, the staff's independent judgment as to the ' reasonable tiae" necessary 'rce the present fraward to corspensate for each factor of delay; Section D a finding as to significant hazards and envirofaental imact consideration, and Section E, e conclaston and reconnendation for i

an Order.

i 8.

Specified Delays l

The pemittee stated in the July 21, 1981 letter that the following factors led to the overall delaj in *ne completion of construction of the facility.

1.

A change in Wissouri public utlility law prohibited the inclusion of I

construction wort in the rate base, which affected the amount of funds available for construction.

2.

Petween 1973 and 1977 the projecteo load growth for the cornpany decreased from 5.65 to 4.4% per year.

l t

I m

f y.

t.

n 4

3.

A nuveer of additions and modifications to design have been made late in the cofistruction schedule to meet recent and changing NAC requirements in the aftermath of TMI. The construction schedule has been adversely affected by the additional wort ta implement plant modifications required l

as a result of reassessment made following the TMI occident. This includes the construction of two new buildings, the Technical Support

{

- Center and the Energency Operations Facility.

1 A significant drop in labor productivity has occurred due to increased 4.

I regu atory requirements in the area of quality control.

l I

l Successive strikes by two labor unions lasted a total of nine weeks 5.

during the spring of 1980.

i i

I t

t C.

REASONASLE COMPENSATION TIMC

{

We concur with the applicant that the conf.truction permit should be extended an additional 22 months to account for schedule celays and contingencies. We find that the justification for this extension it l

primarily a combination of less funds available for construction, lower demand growth rate for electric power, and increased regulatory require-c ments which require changes in construction as well as 1.awering labor A

l producivity, l

We have also examined the construction times for other commercial pressurized water reactors constructed during the same period. We find -

i that the construction time for this facility is comparable to other plants and reasonable. Because of this and the above reasons, we find Dec6nber 31, 1983 acceptable as the latest date for completion of construction'for this

,e facility.

0. 51GNIFICANT HAZARDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CONSIDERATION I

We find that because the request is merely for en extension of time to complete wort already reviewed and approved, no significant hazard consid-i eration is involved in granting the request; thus, prior notice of this I

action is not required. It is also concluded that there will be no emirorpental impact attributable to the proposed action other than that already predicted and described in the Commission's Draft Environmental Statement istved in September 1981. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.5(d)(4), an environmental impact statement, or negative declaration and environmental impact aporaisal, need not be prepared in connection with this action.

The reasons given for the requested extension in tine were: (1)theer. acting nature of the work during latter stages of construction; (2) the slow pro-gress of construction due in part to increasingly stringent quelity require-nents; and (3) numerous changes and additional requirements for plant design, including those *equired as a result of the Commission's regulatory review of i

-the Three l'ile Island accident.

This rction involves no significant hazards consideration, good cause has been shown for the delays, and the requested extension is for a reascnable period, the bases for which are set forth in the staff's safety evaluation for this extension, l

a ST/.FF SAFETY EVALUATION FOR EXTENSION OF THE LATEST CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE FOR THE t

CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 Introduction The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) authorized the construction of the Callaway Plant, Unit 1 by issuing Construction Pernit No. CPPR-139 to Union Electric Company.

The latest date for conpletion of the Callaway Plant, Unit 1 is Decenber 31, 1983.

Ey letter dated October 28, 1983, Union Electric Company submitted an application for arendment of the construction permit to reflect the new " latest completien date" for Callaut.y Plant, Unit 1.

The applicant requested an additional tire of 18 ncrths for corpletion of construction. This would extend the completion date to June 30, 19ES.

In accordance with 10 CFR Section 50.55(b), the NRC staff, having found good cause shown, recomends that the latest completion date of June 30, 1985 be pranted for reasons steted below.

Analysis i

Union Electric Company stated in the October 28, 1983 letter that the extension L

of time for completion of construction was needed because of the following:

1.

The exacting nature of the work during the latter stages of construction.

I 2.

Construction has not progressed as rapidly as projected, due in part to increasingly stringent quality requirements, l

3.

Ilumerous ;hanges and additional requirements for plant design and analysis have been incorporated, including those required by the Comission as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and during the course of the NRC's regulatory review.

The NRC staff has reviewed the cause for delay stated in the October 28, 19C3 letter and has concluded that the applicant has shown good cause for the de19y in eccordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Section 50.55(b).

The NRC staff I

recomends that the construction permit be extended an additional 18 months to l-provide for schedule delays as requested by the applicant.

4 e result of the review of the Final Safety Analysis Report to date and considering the nature of delays, the NRC staff has identified no area of significant safety consideration in connection with the extension of the con-struction permit completion date. This is the only change proposed by the applicant end the extension will not allow any work to be performed involving new safety information of a type not considered by previous Comission safety reviews of the facility and that is not already allowed by the existing con.

struction permit.

Therefore, the staff finds that (1) this action does not l

involve a significant hazards consideration. (2) prior public notice of this action is not required, (3) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endan construction completion dates, and (4)gered by the requested extension of the good cause exists for issuance of an Order extending the latest construction completion date.

Conclusion The Commission's staff has reviewed the information provided in the applicant's submittel and has concluded that the factors discussed above are reasonable and constitute good cause for delay.

Therefore, the NRC staff has concluded that the latest construction completion date for the Callaway Plant is reasonable and justifiable,.

The NRC staff finds that this action does not involve a significant hazards con-

' sideration, and that good cause exists for the issuance of an Order extending r

the latest completion date for Construction Permit flo. CPPR-139 from December 31, i

1083 to June 30, 1985.

The NRC staff has determined that this action will not result in any significant environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.5(d)(4), an environmental impact i

statement, or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal, need not i

be prepared in connection with this action.
