NRC STAFF TESTIMONY OF LAWRENCE P. CROCKER RELATING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF CONSTRUCTING A SMALLER NUCLEAR PLANT AT MIDLAND

==

Introduction:==

In this testimony, I discuss the feasibility of constructing a smaller ~

l nuclear plant at the Midland site as a substitute for the nuclear plant now under construction.

i l

Discussion:

The Midland Plant is to consist of two pressurized water reactors of I

l.

Babcock & Wilcox design, each with a rated heat output of 2452 Megawatts, l:

thermal.

Unit 1 is 'to have an electrical output of about 460 Megawatts, 1

i electric, and, in addition, is to supply approximately 4,000,000 pounds l

per. hour of process-steam to the Dow Chemical Company plant.

Unit 2 is i

to have an el'ectrical output of Sil Megawatts, electric.

I The design of the nuclear steam supply systems (NSSS) for plants of the Midland.: type was offered by' the reactor vendor'during the late-1960's.

.More recent NSSS_ designs offered by Babcock & Wilcox have been on the 18007810 3

r-

,y g

=

9

=-

g c

p -....

v order of 3600-3800 Megawat'ts, thermal.

In recent years, the other reactor vendors in the United States also have been offering nuclear steam supply

. systems in~the range of 3000-3800 Megawatts, thermal.

This no doubt is du'e in part to the emphasis of recent years on standardization of nuclear plant designs at or close to the maximum authorized power level of 3800 L

Meagwatts, thermal.

f Nuclear plants. smaller than the Midland design have been constructed in I

the United States and I would judge that if a utility really wanted to order a smaller size unit today, any of the reactor vendors would be capable of supplying a NSSS of whatever size desired.

I doubt, however, that purchase of a smaller unit is a realistic alternative.

Since recent L

utility a'nd vendor efforts have concentrated on larger units, both a time and a cost ' penalty would be incurred if a utility ordered a smaller plant.

l The entire cost of developing the design probably would have to be charged l

to the single smaller unit or the pair of smaller units since there apparent-ly is no market for additional saaller units.

Further, since units in a smaller size range'have not been ordered for a number of years, extra time probably would be required for design, and it is likely that additional

~

licensing effort would be required since the NRC staff would not be

(

familiar with the design.

The Midland plant now is~about 15%. complete.

We have been infonned by I

'the licensee that the bulk of'the NSSS components are now on-site await-ing installation.

Similarly, many of the balance-of-plant' components

/

m-,

' ~ ^ '

-s r

are either'on-site or on order. Work on the reactor containment struc-tures,3the auxiliary building and the turbine hall is well underway.

' Under these circumstances,.even though a smaller plant might be available for purchase, such action does not represent a viable alternative.

The engineering aniconstruction have thus far proceeded on the basis of the particular design for. Midland.

A' change to a smaller unit would require essentially a complete new design with a consequent loss of the bulk-of the engineering and construction efforts expended to date and a probable loss of a great portion of the component procurement to date.

If for some reason it should be determined that less power is needed from the Midland units, the present construction could be continued and the units ultimately could be operated at whatever power levels are desired up to the rated capacity.

This continued-construction of the current design would provide for. ultimate expansion to meet increasing power needs.

In my view, completion of construction of the present design, even though the forecasted power needs might be less than the plant rated capacity, would be far preferable to any attempt to redesign the station to accept smaller units.

==

Conclusion:==

(

Continued construction of the' Midland plant to the current design does tend to further preclude a subsequent change to a plant with a smaller

- output.

However, for-the' reasons stated above,ll consider such a change to be.an_ infeasible cou'rse of action at the'present time, so continued construction would not affect my conclusion.

NRC STAFF TESTIMONY OF LAWRENCE P. CROCKER RELATING TO DELAY OF CONSTRUCTION AND MAKE-UP OF LOST TIME

==

Introduction:==

This testimony provides my estimate of the time required to shut down and subsequently to re-start the construction of the Midland Plant in the event of;a nine-month suspension of construction.

I also discuss the question of

.whether Consumers Power Company could make-up for time lost during a sus-pension of construction.

Discussion:

Constructio'n activity at the Midland Plant now is in full progress, with O

about 1200. workmen on site.

Construction of both reactor containment buildings is underway and work is in progress on the auxiliary building, turbine _ building and associated plant structures. At the present time, the principal activities consist of placement of reinforcing steel and struc-tural' steel, and pouring ofLconcrete.

'l

-m-

.^

,. Should an order be issued to suspend further construction, so:ae period of time would be required to close down the project.

In addition to personnel related matters such as laying off members of the construction furce 6nd termination of subcontractor effort, specific efforts would be required to bring the construction activity to an orderly close such that constructiot. materials could be protected from the elements and so that work now in place ~could be protected.

Further, it should be recog-nized that continued effort would be required to maintain the integrity of the various' protective covers and to assure that the construction site is not subject to vandalism.

Thus, the shut-down of construction should not be viewed as an instantaneous occurence.

Rather, it is a gradual pro-cess which would require.a minimum of several weeks to accomplish, and which ultimately would result in some residual, continuing effort to provide necessary maintenance and site protection services.

For a suspension period on the order of nine months, I would estimate

. that about three to four weeks would be required to close down thc present construction activity in a condition that would allow reasonable protective measures'to be taken.

The bulk-of the work force probably could be disbanded about two weeks following notific; tion of the sus-pension,. with. a. slower personnel reduc'.;;;..tolkowing that period, ulti-

- mately resulting about two months after. issuance of the suspension order

~

in a residual force of perhaps twenty persons to handle continuing maintenance and protective services.

These persons also would have to receive and store those materials and supplies that:are now on order for sf

~

~

l which delivery could not be cancelled.

It should be noted that this shut-down of the' construction activity really could be carried on during I

l i

the initial period of suspension and could be provided for in the sus-l pension orders.

It does not have to be provided for as a separate period l

l of time.

l The time required to re-start the construction following a nine month suspension would be largely dependent upon the state of the nation's l

economy at the time the suspension order is lifted. While re-mobiliza--

I tion of common laborers should be relatively easy to accomplish, it is likely thr.t a period of several months would be required to obtain the l

services of skilled workmen such as welders, pipe-fitters, and riggers.

p I would not expect skilled workmen to remain in the vicinity of the plant waiting for the construction to resume.

Rather, it would be more likely that they would scatter across the country to other jobs.

Thus, at the time the suspension was lifted, I would judge that a period of l

perhaps four to six months would be required to locate the requisite skills in the proper numoers to resume construction efforts.

1 In addition, subcontractors more than likely would be committed on other projects and would not be immediately available to start work at the Mid-

land site.

Both equipment and personnel probably would be committed elsewhere.

In addition, a finite. time obviously is involved to adver-tize for the necessary subcontract work, select the subcontractors, negotiate terms for the subcontract effort, and assure that the subcon-tractors meet the quality assurance requirements for the work.

4 q

n m,,

4 m -

, ~In view of the above, I thus would judge that a period of four months is.an optimistic estimate of the time required to get the construction effort underway again following a nine month suspension.

The re-mobili-zation time' easily could be more than four months if the economy is l

booming at that time and could extend to six months or more.

'I turn now to the question of whether time lost during a suspension could subsequently be made up. Under certain circumstances, it is

.possible to' speed up construction work by taking such measures as adding additional personnel to the work force, using extended work hours be-yond the normal work shift, or going to double-or multiple shift opera-tion.

Within limits, by employing such methods, it would be possible to make up for construction time lost.

My experience has shown, how-ever, that. for a ~ variety of-reasons the additional work accomplished-during a given period of time does not normally bear a one-to-one rela-tionship to the additional effort applied. Thus, two weeks worth of construction' progress by a given size work _ force usually cannot be l

accomplished in a one week period simply by doubling the number. of work-l

'ers or by going-to a two-shift operation.. Problems such as materials l

scheduling and. handling, equipment breakdowns, and personnel utiliza-(

l tion generally _ manage to make the total effort less efficient than for l

l a smaller work force over a longer period of time.

- Certain _ construction activities 'are critical to the overall project r

scheduling in that they must be accomplished prior to other work.

For example, reinforcing steel. and embedded. items must be placed and must be i.

.g,

r checked fortaJequacy and accuracy of. placement prior to concrete pours around these materials.

For the concrete pours themselves, the maximum rate of pouring:is limited by the curing time required for that concrete

'previously placed.

Welding and general erection of structural steel is largely I sequential operation _ wherein certain activities must be accomplished before others can be initiated.

Working conditions and the project ' status also have a considerable -in-

. fluence on the rate of construction placement.

Where working space is limited, where the working conditions or the work sequencing must.be closely controlled, or where special skills are necessary, attempts to speed up construction by employing more workmen, or by going to overtime or multiple-shift operation could actually be counter-productive.

This

-becomes extremely crucial toward the end of a project when control of workmen becomes difficult.at best, where the workmen are operating in I

relatively' limited space due to previously installed work, where the l

services of the most skilled workmen are required, and where many of the. activities, of necessity, must be accomplished sequentially.

The present schedule for the Midland Plant calls for a Unit 2 fuel l:

loading _date in November of 1980 and a corresponding date for Unit 1 in l

f November of 1981.

Thus~, the utility currently plans about 47 months (from December-197G) for completion of. construction of Unit'2 and an l-l

' additional 12 months for Unit 1.

To accomplish this, work at the site L

currently is proceeding on the. basis of one full shift plus a partial shift'.

Thus, Consumers Power Company-already.is employing a portion r

l.

4

' T

,. of the:possible alternatives 'to speed up construction.

As I stated earlier, following a construction suspension of nine months, I estimate'that a period;of four ta six months would be required for

~

remobilization of the construction effort.

Thus, a construction sus-pension of-nine months entails a total delay on the order of 13 to 15 months.

This represents nearly one-third of the presently scheduled time remaining.forf completion of Unit 2.

In my judgment, it would be impossible for the utility to make up for a construction delay of this magnitude, particularly when they already are attempting to accelerate the rate of construction placement by employing more than a single shift.

- Considering the present stage-of construction, the utility could, in my

~

-judgment, acce.lerate the rate of placement of construction by going to multiple-shift operation or by employing additional workers on each shift.

Following a construction suspension and subsequent remobilization, this option would still be 'available.

Such efforts probably_would enable the utility to complete the. construction in a shorter-period of time than if

' they continued with essentially a single-shift operation.

However, it should be noted that in accordance with the present schedule, Unit 2 of the Midland Plant is:to have fuel loaded in November of,1980 and is to be ready for commercial operation in March of 1981.

Any significant delay in the. construction schedule thus would cause the unit to be unavailable to-

- help meet the 1981: summer peak load fo, the utility.

While the possibility exists for reducing;the. impact of a 15 month delay; on the co.snercial 1

4 operation date' for the. Midland units,- which would result from a nine month' s

construction suspension,:in my Judgment. Consumers. Power; Company probably.

could not recover: enough'. lost time to bring. Unit 2 on line in time for. the.

summer peak.of 1981.

4 JConclusion:

1A nine month _ suspension, period would~ result:in a project delay of a-least

= 13 monthsiand the. delay?could reasonably be expected to extend to 15 months,

. depending upon the' state of.theLeconomy.

While the potential exists for Consumers Power. Company-to recover a: portion of the. delay period and thereby

. reduce the. impact'of.the delay on the commercial. operation dates for the

- Midland -units, 'it is. unlikely' that enough time could be recovered to bring Midland Onit 2 on line in time'for' the summer peak of 1981.
