Subject:

NUCLEAR PROJECT NOS. 3 AND 5 WNP-3 EXTENDED CONSTRUCTION DELAY On July 8, 1983 the Supply System Executive Board voted to implement an immediate extended construction delay of Project 3. Their decision was reached after it appeared no prudent financing could be arranged to con-tinue plant construction. This action will result in a reduction in force at the site from 1,750 employees to approximately 350 by July, 1984. Our initial planning is based on a three year construction delay, however, we have been directed to not take actions which would preclude a project restart within the next three to nine months.

Detailed planning is underway to cover the project turndown, delay and restart, with primary focus on preservation of assets and control of quality records. To assure extended construction delay activities are accomplished in accordance with NRC requirements and Licensee commitments, the Supply System is developing an implementation plan. The plan will provide for a review of pertinent quality-related work and inspection records to determine if the associated quality records are in conformance with established procedures and reflect work accomplishment. This plan will be finalized for Supply System approval about August 1,1983.

We will keep you informed as our planning progresses and would be pleased to review the plan with you in Walnut Creek. Should you have any questions or desire further information, please contact me directly.
