Dear Mr. Tedesco:
A During our telephone conversation last week you requested LILCO's assessment of the construction schedule with expressed concern that the anticipated licensing effort might not be able to support an end of September fuel load.
We share your concern in this regard.
We have recently completed a re-evaluation of construction and startup progress and concluded that while there are a number of areas of exposure that could jeopardize the schedule, our current fuel load date of September is still achievable.
We feel all problem areas of any significance have been identified and special efforts are being applied to assure no schedule impact.
I must therefore maintain our position that we will be prepared to load fuel in September, 1982.
The ASLB proceedings have been underway for many years I
and it now appears that the actual hearing portion of the process will commence soon.
We are gratified to see the recent recon-stitution of the Board and the Board Order issued on February 8, 1982 which sets the basic framework for the start of hearings.
Considering the Board Order, setting a date of April 15 for all parties to be prepared to file testimony on contentions, we have evaluated what we consider will be required to support a September, 1982 fuel load.
The estdmated elements of this extremely ambitious schedule are as follows:
File Testimony - April 15, 1982 Begin Hearings - May 3, 1982 Hold Hearings
- May 3-7, 10-14, 17-21, 24-28, 31
- June 1-4, 7-11, 14-18, 21-25, 28-30 July 1-2

Tedesco February 24, 1982 Page Two File Findings of Fact (LILCO) - July 23 File Findings of Fact (Intervenors) - August 2 NRC Staff Findings of Fact - August 12 LILCO Reply - August 17 ASLB Decision - September 17 The realities of licensing proceedings on Long Island leave us extremely concerned about whether this ambitious schedule can be met.
There will probably be delays in the licensing effort brought about by factors beyond LILCO's control that could cause the process to extend beyond the September, 1982 estimated construction completion date.
In our judgment, therefore, it is essential that the hearings begin the first week of May and be conducted in a very brisk fashion.
I trust this information is responsive to your concerns.
Very truly yours, yr?. 5 9d4+A M.
