N. C. Moselty, Director, Region II, Office of Inspection and Enforce =ent FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, CRYSTAL RIVER 3, DOCKET NO. 50-302 - UPDATE STATUS OF COMPLETION This memorandum updates my me=orandum of December 22, 1975, concerning the status of co=pletion of construction and preoperational testing of Crystal River 3, as determined by IE inspections conducted through January 16, 1976. Due to the lack of significant progress made by the licensee to resolve the unresolved ite=s and permit IE:II to co=plete the inspection program, the items identified in that =c=orandum will not be reiterated in this memorandum.
Basically, the only two changes are the resolution of ite=s A.8, concerning UDE procedure qualifica-tion and co=pletion of inspection =odule 703433 identified in para-graph 2 of attachment 1 to the =e=orandum.
Due to the large nucher of itess requiring resolution by the March 19, 1976, advertised fuel leading date, Region II requested and met with FPC corporate level management personnel at their corporate offices on January 23, 1976.
The following items were dis'dussed:
1.
The overly optimistic March 19, 1976, fuel loading date.
2.
Approximately 30'; of the preoperational test procedures remain to be written and/or approved.
3.
Approximately 60% of the syste=s remain to be preoperational tested.
Thirty seven percent of the tested systems have deficiencies,that require resolution.
4.
Only three hot functional test procedures have been aptroved and no hot functional testing has been perfor=ed.
5.
Containment structural integrity and intergrated leak c-remains to be perfor=ed.
