LOUISIANA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY FACILITY:

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3

SUBJECT:

SUlttARY OF CASE LOAD FORECAST PANEL MEETING WITH APPLICANT - WATERFORD UNIT 3 A meeting was held with the applicant, at the Waterford plant site, on 4

September 19, 1978. The purpose of the meeting was to obtain information i

for use by the Forecast Panel in predicting the Waterford Unit 3 fuel load date.

A list of those who attended this meeting is attached as Enclosure 1.

The agenda for the meeting, prepared by the applicant, is attached as Enclosure 2.

The more important slides presented by the applicant are included in.

These slides have been given individual figure numbers.

The salient points brought out during the meeting are:

1.

The plant staff will ultimately total 160. There are now 70 on the staff, and there are 2E in operator training which began in December 1977 and will be completed in April 1979.

2.

The applicant's need for Waterford 3 is presented in graphical form in Figures 1 and 2.

This plant is needed in order to maintain a 16% reserve on the Middle South Utilities 5ystem, of

('

i l

which LP&L is one of five operating companies.

l 3.

An improvement in turnaround time for design engineering work has been realized by having Ebasco do this work at the site rather than at its home office in New York. Drawing and specification issuances are 97*. and 98*. complete, respectively.

l 4.

LP&L supports its projected fuel load date by a curve (Figure 3).

l Since early in 1978 they have kept close track of actual construc-l tion acccmplishments. Although there appears to be a lag in accom-l plishment since July of this year (as shown in Figure 3), LP&L stated that this only affected the river water intake structures f

and was caused by high level of the river. These structures are not on the critical path.

The applicant also compared Waterford,3 with similar plants. The comparison included time from the first concrete pouring to fuel load (Figures 4 and 5) and time from setting of the reactor vessel to fuel load (Figure 6). He also provided a comparison of the test schedules of Waterford 3, the Yellow Book average, and that recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.68. Figure 7 shows the critical path for construction.

5.

LP&L proiided the following data on quantities of materials installed.

It should be noted that piping is considered installed when it is in-place in temporary hangers and tack-welded.

As of the end of August, 89% of the procurement purchasesorders have

(

been placed. Of the total purchase order value, 74% ha's' been delivered.

Procurement hardspots have included:

a.

Structural Steel b.

\\ Late design of supports' f,or asymetric loads

c.. Pipe hangers d.

Fan vendor quality assurance program N

e.

Electrical Equipment 7.

The startup organization has been established. About 25 people from LP&L and several consultants are working on the startup program. They all report to the LP&L Lead Startup Engineer (Tom Armington), not to'their home offices.

Startup schedules are being computerized and tied in with the construction schedules. Ultimately there will be about 150 people-Q the startup group.

T'

  • L1 8.

At'the close of the meeting, the NRC staff stated that it believes the applicant's May 1981 fuel load date is based on an " aggressive" schedule. LP&L's comparison of the Waterford construction schedule to that of other plants (see Figure 5) shows comparable or slightly shorter span times.

liowever, our past experience has shown that actual construction time usually exceeds that anticipated. Further, the Waterford construction critical path (see Figure 7) includes no contingencies to accomodate unforeseen events.

Based on our experience with other plants, we believe that there may be an additional five to six months required due to a large amount of work yet to be done inside contain-

/

ment. However, we will go along with the May 1981 date for now, but would like to have up-dated information, in early February 1979, on construction accomplishments (as in Figure 3), on bulk quantities (as in Item 5 above), and on critical path progress (as in Figure 7). The applicant agreed to provide this information.
