Dear Mr. Rogers:

This is in response to your le tter of December 13, 1971. We have reviewed the draft detailed .atatement on the environmen-tal considerations for the Ocenee Nuclear Station, Unit #1 of the Duke Power Company.

In order to give you the full benefit of the Department's analysis. I am anclosing the review comments from the Bureau of Domestic Commerce, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Economic Affairs and the National Oceanic mid Atmospheric Administration.

We hope this information will be helpful.

Sin erely, Sidney R. aller Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environmental Affairs j 1

22MORAXDUM FOR Sidney Galler -

From: Zdwin B. Shykind N O

, J.l4-72 -

Subject:

Comments on Draft Detailed Statement on Environ-mental Considerations for Oconee Nuclear Station, Unit #1 of Duke Power Company The need for the electric power to be furnished to this arca by the Oconee 21 ant is corroborated by 72C reporta entered in previous statements (p. 45, detailed statement). The re-serve power margins for the power pool of which che applican is a member would be less than 9a in 1973 if the proposed units were not built and operated as planned.

nsview indicates ofcoverage the economic of thedata major in areas.

this draft detailed =tatement The economic benefits accruing as a result of the_ nuclear plant are the electric energy itself with a market value in excess of $100 million, and an annual income benefit of approximately $3 million fcr the present efte.

There appears to be a question with regard to the commodity value (benefit) of the energy available from peak power generation, item 32 of Table X-4. The applicant's supplement indicates (in Table 10) that the annual costs of peaking capacity and energy for the alternative closed-cycle pumped-storage is approximately $17 million. The Cable X-4 figure is $26 million with an asterisk indicating that expansion capacity is included. This asterisk is also applied to the Xeowee-Coxaway project (subsystem #1) where the approximarcly S26 million in both Tables X-4 and Table 10 is identical.

Zither the asterisk does not apply to the pumped storage hydro _ peaking (subsystem #1), or perhaps the $17 million figure applies for the pumped-storage-at-separate-location subsystem.

The $3 million annual income is composed of approximately

$1.7 million for direct operating employee payroll and ac.croximatelv'$1.28 million of secondary income contributions

.m due to tourist-industry generated local increases. The $1.7 illion income is stated.by the AEC draft detailed statement 320

.p , t

+=,

2 (p. 116) to be for 210 operating employees while the figurc stated in iten 42, Table X-4 is 450 employees. This 450 "

employee f,igure appears to be estimated construction empicyces on the Keowee-Toxaway project in July of.1974 according to the applicants supplement, p. 33.

Table X-4 also contains some approximations for Federal, state and. local tax benef'.ts. These figures may or may not include amounts-for the real property tax (the text indica:cs these amounts have not yet been reported). If available, the amounts for these' taxes should be included.

Environmental effects have been quantified to a larger d' gree e than has historically becn true resulting in a better data base frc=

} which to form a balanced judgement during review.

There are at least two areas which may deserve future con-sideration. The areas of concern are those of gaseous radic-active waste treatmentthe andfacility.

thermal effects (on both fish life

~

and heat capacity)'of The problems relative to gaseous radioactive waste treatment and release can best be resolved by the AEC and EPA. The uncertainties associated with the thermal' effects on aquatic biota (especially fish life)

- and.the future heat capacity losses of the water resources possibly could be given some additional consideration as further information becomesavailable from the applicant.

In general, the benefits stated by the applicant appear to considerably outweigh the undesirable environmental asoccts for this particular nuclear station._ The areas cited above

~

votid'not bo considered particularly major in their impact and conceivably should be adequately resolved without ex-tended effort.-

.RIMOMNDUX TO Dr. Sidney R.. Galler Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environmental Affairs FRC.V. : Robert T. Miki, Senior Economis: 'S Office of the Assistant Secreta:.mf for Economic Affairs SUEJECT: Duke Power Company: Oconee Nuclear Station, Uni: 1 I havo reviewed the environmental report relating to the proposed issuance of an operating license to the Duke Power Compr.y for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Unit 1,and focused particularly on the-cost-benefit analysis contained in the report. I have no major substantive comments on the analysis that was made. It is inappropriate in Table X-4, column 4 to include "530,000 to University Southern California for archeological. study" as a benefit.

Cc::,ents on Draf t Detailed Environmental Statement 1

Oconec Euclear Station

'.tcla is pleased to trans=lt the attached co=nents from the National 1:ecther Service,.the Environmental Research Laboratories and the yational Xarine Fisheries Service.

In sr--nry:

1. Increased incidence of stec= fog arising from plant operation should be limited to creas within a few miles of the reservoir receiving the heat load.

2 Our computation of average annual relative concentration of radionuclides at the site boundary is a factor of 2 higher than that of the applicant (we were obliged to consult the Final Safety Analysis Report in order to make this co=parison).

3. "he use of an average annual diffusion rate for co=puting

. site. boundary doses is inappropriate, since the vaste gas decay tanks and other storage tanks are only intermittently, not continuously purged.

4. In order to round out the radiological monitoring progra=,

we reco==end that benthic specimens such as insect larvae and fish egge be included.
