, , m In addition, in the Cleveland Electric service area,8ndustrial kilowatt hour sales rose

! from 6.4 billion in 1968 to 7.3 billion in 1972 for an increase of 13%. The service area is oriented toward the production of steel, automotive components and chemicals.

The electric sales to these businesses are growing at a faster rate than the industrial kilowatt hour sales. During the five-year period, thirteen customers in these l classifications increased kilowatt hour usage from 2.67 billion in 1968 to 3.2 billion in 1972 for an increase of 20%. These thirteen customers accounted for 42% of industrial kilowatt hours in 1968 compared with 44% of the total industrial kilowatt ,

hours in 1972. Kilowatt hour sales growth to these classifications of business is as follows:

The ten largest industrial customers of Toledo Edison accounted for 59% of the Company's industrial sales in 1972. These same ten customers accounted for 55%

4 of Tol-:do Edison's industrial sale in 1968. These customers, along with their combined usage in kilowatt-hours, are listed below.

We would expect that based upon discussions with large industrial users that this same pattern will continue.

With reference to housing developments and electric homes, a total of 3,314 all-electric homes are served by Cleveland's system. An additional 1,500 homes and apartments are presently under construction or scheduled for construction in housing developments which should be completed by year end 1973.

. 6. Toledo Edison Service Area The following table shows population estimates for Toledo Edison's eight county service area for the years 1971,1972, and 1973. These estimates were calculated by extrapolation of the 1970 U.S. Census Data.

7. Exhibit 1-B is a copy of the Economic Indicators sheet of the Toledo Edison monthly economic newsletter. The top graph, entitled "Index of Manufacturing Activity,"

reflects the level of factory output for the Toledo Edison service area. This was originally constructed at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. To calculate the index, Toledo Edison's industrial sales are distributed by Standard Industrial Classification, then each kilowatt hour is multiplied by the value added for each of the standard industnal classifications. These products are then totaled and put in index number form. This series is the best indicator of the level of manufacturing activity available for the Toledo Edison service area.

For Cleveland Electric, kwhr sales to industrial customers increased at a rate of 5.7%

per year from 1962 to 1972. The forecast for 1973 to 1983 is at a rate of 5.0%

per year.

E. The estimated average time for an individual to give such a presentation is 1 1/2 hours. About 90% of these presentations are given at times other than normal working hours. Personnel presenting these programs receive no extra pay regardless of the time of the presentation.

G. No.

19. Applicants have adequate generating capability including reserves to supply the current demand for electricity. The Davis-Besse project and other CAPCO generating units under construction and planned provide the means to meet future increased demand.

Advertising is not intended to nor does it add to the peak demand for electrical energy.

21. The total operation, maintenance, and fuel cost to generate a KWHR in 1972 was

$0.00606/ KWHR for Toledo Edison and 50.00576/ KWHR for Cleveland Electric. The costs to transmit a KWHR varies widely between transmission and distribution customers. An average number is not available or meaningful.

The average cost of a KWHR to our ultimate customers during 1972 was $0.01842 for Toledo Edison and 50.0191i for Cleveland Electric.

22. A. - It is doubtful that a flat rate structure where all consumers pay the same rate for electricity would have a significant effeq on usage, but such a rate would create gross inequities. For example, customers with large demands for short periods of time would not be paying for the capital equipment required of the Applicants to provide for such electrical demands, and these customers would be subsidized by the customers whose usage patterns did not have such vagaries.

B. - The results of applying an inverted rate structure would be difficult to approximate. It is conceivable that an inverted rate structure could be designed to produce revenues comparable to those now being received by applicants, which would have a minimal impact on power usage. To our knowledge, this has never been done.

Power usage would continue to grow as incomes grow, for the demand for electrical power is price inelastic, but somewhat ircome elastic.

In any event, the rate structures of Applicants is subject to control of various regulatory agencies, which do not permit either of the foregoing approaches to rate design. ,

23. The following studies discuss the relationship of prices for power and usage of power:

1. R. Reynolds, "A Cross Section Analysis of the Demand for Electric Power in Selected Ohio Cities" (1968).

2. Memorandum, (R. Reynolds) " Demand Elasticities for Electric Power" - 1968

6. Stanford Research Institute report on California power supply.

24. We estimate that the average electrically heated home in the Toledo area uses 7,400 KWH annually for heating.

A. - If it is assumed that Toledo Edison were to charge a single rate for all classes of electrical service (which would be in violation of Ohio law), and it is further assumed that that rate would be the same as the average revenue per kilowatt hour received during the calendar year 1972, the impact on sales to electrically heated homes would be minimal. Toledo Edison's average revenue per kilowatt hourin 1972 was 1.8c; the average revenue per kilcwatt hour from electrically heated homes was 1.7C per kilowatt hour.

25. Industrial usage for the years 1968-1972 is as follows:

MMKWH Year T2CO CEI 1968 2459 6444 1969 2665 6938 1970 2575 6794 1971 2775 6814 1972 3079 7299 A. We have no information on the percent ofincrease which was due to automation.

B. If the same assumptions are made as in the above answer to part A of interrogatory 24, the average rate paid by industrial customers would increase significantly. It is impossible to quantify the impact of such a change on industrial customers. Power rates have increased approximately 20% over the last three years for Toledo Edison's industrial customers, with no known significant changes in usage. It is likely that an increase to 1.8$ per kilowatt-hour would have little impact on industrial usage of power.

The total calls for the year 1972, which was a typical year, were 9,170.

27. Applicants do not have departments or employees who have as their duties contacting cities, villages, towns, or counties regarding development or zoning information. The Area Development Departments for Toledo Edison and Cleveland Electric do have some such contacts due to requests in specific circumstances.

29. During recent years, Applicants have shifted their promotional expenditures away from encouraging product sales to a program that encourages the efficient use of electrical power. Following are examples of how Applicants' promotional expenditures tend to eliminate wasteful use of power:

1. Applicants advertise booklets that describe many methods whereby residential customers can cut down on power usage. These free booklets are promoted in Applicants' service areas by mass media advertising.

2. Applicants have commercial and industrial services departments, the employees of which work with their commercial and industrial customers to continually aid in improving the efficiency of the customers' electrical systems.

3. Applicants have residential services departments that work closely with sing'e and multiple family builders, to ensure that uew construction provides adequate insulation for new all-electric homes and for homes being converted to electric space heating.

4. Applicants are continually upgrading their transmission, subtransmission, and distribution systems. By moving to higher voltages, ene;gy consumed by line losses is reduced, thereby reducing the need for power plant capacity.

30. The programs outlined in the answer to interrogatory #29 are to continue. The whole area of energy conservation is continually under close scrutiny by Applicants.

Although existing progr . ui be cont'nued and new ones added, Applicants have no firm plans at this time to add to exMing programs to promote conservation, although extensions of the program are under study.

31. The Davis-Besse Station will not replace the need for generation from any existing fossil fueled .31 ant, since these plants will still be needed to meet the projected increase in demand. The amount of generation in KWH of electricity from the fossil fuel plants will be reduced with the Davis-Besse Station in operation, since the nuclear cycle has considerably lower fuel costs than the fossil fuel plants.

2. There was no damage to the station due to the storm on June 17,1973. The south marsh which had its water level lowered prior to the storm, rose to take level because of the water level rising above the elevation of the south dike.

5. There has been no damage to the railroad spur leading to the Station site.

6. On November 14, 1972 at about 10:30 in the morning and on April 9,1973 at about 1:30 in the afternoon, the construction workers were released from Davis-Besse Station due to water being over the road on State Route 2 which is the normal access road for construction workers to the Station. In both cases supervisory people remained on the job throughout the remainder of the day and were able to enter and leave the station site at any time by means of Duff Washa Road and State Route 19.

7. At no time has access over public highways been blocked to the Davis-Besse Station site. Early release of the construction workers on November 14,1972 and April 9, 1973 was principally a convenience for the workers involved.

16. There has been no dirt washed away from the wave protection dike by any of the high water conditions.

17. Dirt would not be washed away from the wave protection dike even under the design extreme high water conditions since this dike is faced with stone rip rap to prevent erosion. Therefore, there is no possibility of any effect on the spawning grounds.

18. Earthen dikes which are exposed to extensive wave action such as that coming directly from the lake will not withstand the erosive action of the waves. The stone facing of the wave protection dike will withstand this erosive action.

19. The only dike at the Davis-Besse Station that is designed to withstand extensive wave action is the wave protection dike around the immediate station building area. This dike is faced on the marsh side with a crushed stone filter blanket underneath rip rap material of large stone pieces. This dike facing material is designed to withstand wave action.

24. The only plant water intake blockage that has been experienced at any of the plants of Toledo Edison or Cleveland Electric was experienced at the Eastlake Plant of Cleveland Electric during the period of January 26 through January 28,1971. This blockage occured due to ice conditions. A copy of Cleveland's letter to the Ohio Water Pollution Control Board dated March 8,1971 and an internal Cleveland Electric Illuminating memo dated March 1,1971 are attached as Exhibits 2-A and 2 B respectively.

All stations at Toledo Edison and Cleveland Electric on occasion have experienced heavy runs of fish into the intake canals. The traveling water screens at the pump house structures prevent these fish from entering the pump intake wells. These screens are self-cleaning to prevent blockage of the screens. Because manual start of these screens was not initiated soon enough, partial blockage was experienced on several occasions but such a problem has not occurred with au+omatic start system now installed at these stations and used at the Davis-Besse station. Also these existing stations have intake canals;none has a submerged intake such as that of the Davis-Besse facility.

The City of Oregon submerged intake in I.ake Erie is very similar to the submerged intake being constructed at the Davis-Besse Station and no problems have been experienced from fish in this type of submerged intake.

25. The existing generating stations have an open intake canal leading from the river or lake into the intake structure. The Davis-Besse intake is from a submerged intake structure located in the lake with a 3,000 ft. long,8 ft. diameter pipe leading from the intake structure to an open intake canal 2800 ft. in length. At the pump house structure the existing plants and the Davis-Besse Station are essentially the same with traveling water screens on the face of the structure in frent of the pump suction bay.

All of the stations which experienced partial blocking of the traveling water screens l had a manual start system. The Davis-Besse facility has an automatic start system for the traveling water screens. The traveling water screens at existing steions where partial blockage had occurred, have subsequently been converted to an automatic start system and this type of problem has not been experienced since.

26. The Sandusky municipal water supply intake has a similar submerged intake crib and buried intake line. This intake line for Sandusky however terminates at the pumping station in a pump house suction well. The Davis-Besse !ntake line terminates at the lake end of a 2800 foot long closed intake canal. The pump house structure is at the opposite end of the intake canal. The Sandusky pump house has screens ahead of the pump suction bay to prevent entry of debris into the pumps. These screens are manually removed for any necessary cleaning. At the Davis-Besse pump house, traveling screens which are automatically started and cleaned, are ahead of each pump suction bay.

, 27. a. The fill material around and adjacent to the station structures is either natural, undisturbed material or carefully compacted earth or cmshed rock. No settling of this material has been observed. All station buildings are founded on bedrock.

b. The cooling tower base foundation ring is placed on crushed granular rcck material which has been compacted and there is a layer of natural, undisturbed till material between bedrock and the granular rock. This material is expected to compress under the load of the cooling tower in an amount of 1/8 to 3/8 ".

This amount has been confirmed by observations taken before and after installation of the cooling tower shell.

30. The mean monthly levels of Lake Erie vary in an annual and long term cyclic manner which is dependent upon general weather conditions in the whole Great Lake drainage basin. Data prepared by the U.S. Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Commerce NOAA - National Ocean Survey, Lake Survey Center, Detroit, Michigan shows that the long term cyclic variations repeat about every twenty years. We know of no long range predictions for general weather conditions for such a pariod of time but it is expected that this long term variation will continue to occur in the j general pattern as it has in the past.

The Monthly Bulletin of Lake Levels for April 1973 as issued by the Lake Survey

, Center shows that the average water level of Lake Erie for the past ten years is essentially identical to the average level for the period of record of 1860 to 1972.

This bulletin also contains a short term six month projection of lake levels which j predicts that Lake Erie water level will decrease by 1.6 feet over the next six month

period in approximately its normal annual cyclic manner.

31. No. All pipe lines that are associated with any safety function during high water

, periods are located within the area protected by the wave protection dike and are either located within buildings or a connecting tunnel. Both buildings and tunnel 1 are designed to withstand the maximum postulated meteorological and hydrological conditions described in Chapters 2 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report and i Final Safety Analysis Report.

Other buried pipe lines which perform normal station fun'ction (but not safety functions), either are within the area which is protected by the wave protection dike, are buried within the dixes or are consideraoly beneath the ground surface. The buried concrete pipes mnning from the condenser to the cooling tower are v. ell below the groimd surface and for most of the distance are within the wave protection dike area, it is considered to be improbable that these lines or any other lines could be washed out due to high water conditions. In 2ny event, such a wash-out or break would have no safety significance. If such a wash-out would occur, either partially or totally, it would be readily apparent from routine observation of the area.

j No sp -ial monitoring would be required to determine if there were any breaks in these lines. Observation of normal operating instrumentation and routine observation of the areas in which these lines are located would disclose such occurances.

32. It is not anticipated that there would be any condition which would regiire quick evacuation of people from the area. AEC regulations require that, prior to receipt of an operating license, emergency plans for evacuation of the low population zone be finalized. Wind conditions during a storm actually reduce considerably the.need

, for evacuation should any accident condition occur. Detailed plans and procedures for all emergency conditions effecting offsite areas are now being planned with local, state, and Federal officials, including means for evacuation if necessary. Evacuation plans will consider all means which have been used to evacuate people during any of the storms and high water conditions that have been experienced in the area.

34. Radioactive waste and spent fuel that will be stored on the site, including the systems to process and handle radioactive waste and spent fuel, are described in Section 3.4 of the Final Environmental Statement, Appendix B of the Environmental Report, Section 4.4 of the Environmental Report Supplement, Section 9.6 and Chapter 11 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report, and Secti n 9.1 and Chapter 11 of the Final Safety Analysis Report.

35. Spent fuel and radioactive waste while on site, are stored in the auxiliary building which is designed for the maximum postulated meteorological and hydrological conditions described in Chapter 2 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report and Final Safety Analysis Report.

ANSWERS TO ISSUE 3 INTERROGATORIES

1. The specifications relating to accident protection of the spent fuel casks a:e set forth in the applicable AEC regulations (10 CFR Part 71) and in the applicable Department of Transportation regulations (49 CFR Part 171-179).

2. Yes. Levels of radiation permitted at the surface of spent fuel casks are set forth in 10 CFR Part 71 and 49 CFR Part 173.

3. The reprocessing facility to which spent fuel from the Davis-Besse facility will be shipped has not yet been selected.

4. Spent fuel from the Davis-Besse facility will be transported primarily by rail, although shipment by truck may be used on occasion. Both methods will meet the criteria set forth in applicable AEC regulations (10 CFR Part 71) and in applicable Department j of Transportation regulations (49 CFR Part 171-179).

6. Since the reprocessing facility to which spent fuel will be shipped has not yet been selected, it is not yet possible to identify routes which shipments will take nor populations of areas through which such routes will pass. Regardless of the shipping route or method, applicable AEC and Department of Transportation regulations assure that the cask has the integrity to withstand accidents more severe than those likely to be encountered in the course of transportation. The criteria which the cask must meet provide adequate assurance that the cask will withstand accidents in the course of transportation without undue risk to the public.

7. a. If a spent fuel cask were trapped by a future flood, there would be no adverse effects and, in fact, if the cask were submerged, the cooling would be improved as compared to dissipation of the decay heat to the air. Immersion in water is one of the tests required by 10 CFR Part 71. In fact, casks are loaded and unloaded underwater.

b. The route for shipping spent fuel to a reprocessing facility has not yet been selected.

c. The forces imposed by a derailment are no different than those resulting from any other accident and, therefore, are covered by the cask design criteria.

d. The route for shipping spent fuel to a reprocessing facility has not yet been thru selected. However, the fact that other hazardous materials are carried by railroads

i. is considered both in the design of the casks (as reflected in the AEC regulations) and in the procedures used by the railroads (as reflected in the Department of Transportation Regulations). Factors considered include fire, explosives and corrosives. Also, Department of Transportation regulations specify the location of cars carrying radioactive materials relative to cars carrying explosives (49 CFR Part 174).

1. 0.1% failed fuel is considered to be the maximum value for normal operation over long periods. This value is referenced in the Environmental Report Supplement, Volume I and Volume 2, page 4-7,4-21, 7-3, throughout Section 8, and on page 1 of Appendix 8A.

2. The attached Exhibit 4-A shows the inferred fuel defect level for 11 pressurized water reactors for 1972 and the first quarter of 1973.

We are also aware of the following documents:

a. Letter from C. L. Storrs, Director of Projects, Nuclear Power Department, Combustion Engineering, to AEC (Atomic Energy Clearing House, Vol.18, No. 3, January 17,1972, p.10).

b. W. J. Dollard, F. W. Kramer, Westinghouse Nuclear Fuel Operating Experience (paper presented to American Power Conference, April,1972).

3. A description of the monitoring systems to detect radioactivity being released from the station is contained in Chapter 11 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report and Chapter 11 of the Final Safety Analysis Report.

4. The monitoring systems described in Chapter 11 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report and Final Safety Analysis Report contain both alarm systems and shut off systems for any lines which can release radioactivity to the environment.

5. There are no monitoring systems beyond the station boundaries which would initiate any warning system for evacuation. The monitoring systems at the station itself will detect releases of radioactivity.

6. Applicants have no detailed knowledge of a " variance" which may have been obtained for the Vermont Yankee facility. There can be no " guarantee" that such a varianc; might not be needed at some future time with respect to the Davis-Besse facility.

There are of course significant differences between the Vermont Yankee and Davis-Besse plants for example, Vermont Yankee is a boiling water reactor, while the Davis-Besse is a pressurized water reactor. Thus any experience of the Vermont Yankee facility would seem to have no applicability to Davis-Besse.

2. Cleveland Electric has made application to the Atomic Energy Commission for a construction permit to construct two nuclear units, each one being 1,200 megawatts, and to be located near North Perry Village, Ohio. These units will be jointly owned by CAPCO co'npanies and Toledo Edison will share in ownership of these units.

Ohio Edison has announced that they are acquiring a site east of Sandusky, Ohio for the possibility of installing nuclear generating units. The size and number of units has not been determined and these units would probably be CAPCO joint owned units in which both Toledo Edison and Cleveland Electric 111uminating Company would share in ownership.

Toledo Edison, as a member of CAPCO, has been involved in recent studies concerning future generating units. In this continuing study, one or two additional units at the Davis-Besse site are being considered with commercial operating dates between the period of 1981 and 1985.

3. At the present time, neither Toledo Edison nor Cleveland Electric are conducting any studies for potential sites for nuclear plants. Toledo Edison had conducted studies prior to the firm decision for the Davis-Besse site. The alternate sites considered are given in the Cost and Benefit Analysis Supplement to the Environmental Report.

Cleveland Electric has considered alternate sites to the Perry site. These sites included two areas to the east of Perry in the neighborhood of Ashtabula, Ohio, one site which would be suitable for two or more nuclear units, the other site suitable for only one. A site to the west of the Perry site was also investigated with a capability of two units. The existing Avon Lake station was considered with a capability of one unit. A site on the Ohio River, with a capability of two units was also considered.

P. O. Box 118 MR1619H Columbus, Chio 43200 SilAM POWER ttention: l'.r. Dirnest Neal N. D. FLACK ,

Deni Mr. Neal:

On litrch 4,1971, Mr. George Garrett of ycur office requested, by phone, that I submit a detailed report of the fish incident at our Eastlake Plant on January 26-26, 1971. This incident had been reported to Mr. Carrett by phone on February 1,1971. ..

The following was extracted from an internal report by our plant superintendent. In addition to presenting the bare facts he also conveys, I think,the point that our major objective during this ,

severe weather period was to keep a mini-aam operation at this plant.

The health and velfare of many people depended on this. Should we have lost the entire plant, the whole intake and discharge could have solidified completely, thus, making it impossible for the plant to restart until a full thav set in.

"The Plant was buffeted by 80 to 85 mile per hour vinds starting at about 4:00 A.M. on January 26, 1971. These vinds were such as tc damage considerable plant property. For exnnple, one large Kenear door at the basement elevation was blown in. Several pieces of roof flashing vere blevn off the roof and construction material

, was blevn around the Hi line and transformer area. These vinds continued and blev large ice floes up on the shore of the lake and all the inlet and outlet celir, forming the marine work necessary to plant operation. The wind rows formed by the vind driven water and ice floes were approximately 25 feet high by t 6:30 P.M. on January 26, 19'il. " .

"All through that afternoon the lake, level' as measured at the inlet of our screen house was dropping from its normal (Figure 1) elevation of 571 feet to 568 feet elevatien and the differential of level nLume= Arimo stoa. across the screen house traveling screens reached a maxi =um of about aveuc souant CLEVELam D. QMio two feet at 8:C0 P.M. This was being caused by the heavy ice floes

being driven into the plant water intake, shutting off the supply.

It became.necessary because of this condition to open the recirculating gate betusen the inlet and outlet channels. This is a normal method used to melt heavy accu =ulations of ice in front of the screen house debris boom and trash racks. Lead on the plant was reduced from the nor=al level of 420 W (Unit No. 4 was off for maintenance) to 360 FW at about 7:45 P.M. By 12:27 A.M. on J'anuary 27th, the load had been reduced to 125 FW and again to 120 Mi at 8:50 A.M. that morning. Throughout this period of li=ited condenser cooling water, fish from the outlet channel entered the inlet area through the recirculating gate because the water in both areas were at relatively the same temperature. The water temperature of the inlet outlet area gradually rose from 34 F at 12:30 P.M. on January 26th to 60 by 11:55 P.M. the same day and leveled out at that point because of the reduced load condition. The temperature was reduced gradually as ve restored normal vnter flov to the inlet channel about 12:15 P.M. on the 28th of January."

• During the period of low water supply the thousands of fish which normally thrive in the varmer outlet channel came to the inlet side and literally attacked us. As is our usual practice when fish displace the water on the inlet side of our screens, the screens are started and fish are washed off the screens with water sprays and sluiced back into the outlet channel without damage."

"During this process many of the fish appeared to be somewhat lethargic as they swam against the inlet side of our screens.

Some weak fish were recirculated many times during this period of time. Some of the water and dead fish overflowed the normal sluiceway and were deposited in the construction cell being built for Unit No. 5 (Figure II)."

"Because of the extreme weather conditions - severe vind, driving snov - it was considerably difficult to give a good estimate of how many fish were killed. Some estimations were-that there were several thousand gizzard shad (perhaps 3,000) about 3" to 6" in length; 150 carp, 12" long; less than 20 catfish, 10" to 12", and possibly 100 assorted smelt, sheepshead and bass."

"The plant lead was gradually restored to normal by 9:40 A.M. , ,.

on January 29, 1971."

If there are any further questions concerning this incident, please u contact us. .

Throuchout this period of limited con-denser cooling water, fish from the outlet channel entered the inlet area throuch the recirculating cate because the water in both areas were at relctively the same tetTperature. Tbo water tecrperature of the inlet-outlet crea crndually roso from 340F r.t 12:30 p.m. on Jcaucry 26 to E007 by 11:55 p.m. the same day cnd leveled out at that point bec:use of tbs nduced load condition. The temperature was reduced ryrAunlly as we restored normal water now to the inlet channel at obout 12:15 p.m. on January 28.

During the period of low water supply, the thousands of fish which norzally thrive in the vnmer outlet channel ctsse to the inlet side and literally attacked us. As in our usual practice when fish displace the water on the l inlet side of our screens, the screens are started and fish are washed off i the screens with water sprays and sluiced back into the: outlet channel.

l During this process, acny of the fish appeared to be somewhat letharcie as they swan cccinst the inlet side of our screens. There, sans weak l

fish were recirculated r any times durin, this period of time. Cotae of
