Docket Nos. 50-373/374 i
APPLICANT: Cormionwealth Edison Company FACILITY:
La Salle County Station, Unit Nos.1 & 2
SUBJECT:
CASELOAD FORECAST PANEL LA SALLE SITE VISIT
Background
The NRC Caseload Forecast Panel visited the La Salle County Station in order to review the status of construction and readiness for fuel loading for Unit 1.
A listing of the meeting attendees is enclosed Enclosure 1 & 2.
Summary A station walk through and meetings were held with Commonwealth Edison Company on March 26 and 27,1980 to observe the actual status of plant construction, to discuss the applicant's plans and schedules for completion of construction, and to assess the scheduled fuel load date. The applicant reported that Unit 1 was 96 percent complete and that a fuel load date was projected for September 30, 1980.
In the applicant's presentation, the following items were presented: (1)EngineeringStatus,(2)ConstructionStatus,(3)Startup Status, (4) Operations Status, and (5) Critical Path Review.
In the engineering portion of the presentation, the applicant also discussed some of the TMI items already being factored into their plans (see Enclosure 3).
As a result of the applicant's presentation and the plant visit, we concluded that the applicant's September 30, 1980 date may be optimistic by two months.
This determination was primarily based on:
(1) Approximately forty percent of the pre-operational tests are completed, and the applicant's average rate of completion was less than six percent per month.
In order to meet their estimated fuel load date, the completion rate would have to be increased by almost a factor of two in comparison to their past performance.
We could not foresee such a i
step. increase of completion rate.
l (2) The applicant in its presentation stated that the hanger reevaluation for the "as-built" conditions would be completed by August 1980 and that approximately ten percent rework would be required because of the reevaluation.
We thought that completing the rework by the time,of their estimated fuel load date was optimistic.

(3) Finally, the applicant and its contractor, Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.,
project only three months to complete the suppression pool modifications due to the hydrodynamic loads not accounted for in the initial Mark II containment design. All the other Mark II plants (Shoreham, Zimmer and the completed Susquehanna) are and have taken a longer tirne.
We discussed our assessment of the scheduled fuel load date with the applicant and expressed a fuel load date of two months later than their projection.
In addition, we stated that our estimation was only considering noh-TMI problems.
Presently, the requirements for those plants beyond the near term operating license stage (Sequoyah, North Anna 2, Salem 2 and Diablo Canyon) have not been defined with respect to the Task Action Plan; and therefore, we could i
not factor,these items into our estimation.
