Subject:
Oyster Creek Nucitar Generating System Docket Nc. 50-219 Early Warning Public Notification Sys':em With regard to the 10 CFR 50 Appendix E requirement and the proposed change of the completion date'(Federal Register dated September 21, } 981),
at the present time it has been determined that the Oyster Creek installation will be delayed beyond the required February 1,1982 date.
Since this delay is beyond the control of the company, an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E concerning installation of the prompt notification system by February 1, 1982 is requested.
On October 23, 1981, we responded to the Notice of Violation contained in Mr. Victor Ste11o's letter of September 22, 1981.
In that response, we indicated that all actions within the control of the company were being taken to meet the required installation date. Accordingly, all necessary equipment for the installation has been received; installation personnel are currently assembling as much of the equipment as possible prior to actual erection at the site; a blanket exemption from the Municipal Zoning Ordinances ha-been filed with the Bureau of Public Utilities and was approved on December 17, 1981; and we are actively pursuing the attainment of indi"idual rights-of-way for each installation.
To date, approximately 30% of the 46 required rights-of-way have been obtained; however, we ant.Leipate that for approximately 30% of the sites we will encounter objections which will significantly delay installation.
Considering our potential capability of erecting 1 or 2 sirens per day and assuming the most optimistic progress in obtaining the necessary rights-of-way, we estimate that 30 sirens can be installed by February 1, 1982.
The remaining installations will most probably be completed by July 1,1982 based on previous experiences in resolving rights-of-way problems.
The operational availability of the system will only exist af ter all sirens are installed.
As we feel that every effort has been made to complete the installation by the required date and the delay is due to circumstances beyond our control, an extension of the completion date is justified. We have been and will continue to proceed with the installation of this system
.as expeditiously as possible; however, realistically there is a very low probability of meeting the February 1,1982 requirement.
