Volume 2, Number 12 March 14 lor 3 Pier 9 Excavation Begins
{
Mergentime e. revs have completed the. horizontal drift to Pier 9 and are starting to f
excavate the 45-foot deep, 4 ft by 6 ft vertical pier.
The drift is horizontally from the access shaft some 200 feet beneath the FIVP,- then. turns for another 10 feet beneath the turbine building.
Also in the soils area, jacks have been installed between the turbine building and the completed Pier 12 West and load transfer was made this week.
Similar vork vill soon be done on 12 'Ea s t.
Mergentime crews are working 2 ten-hour shifts, six days a week.
Divers Working in Pond Underwater d iv e r.s entered the cooling pond this week and are installing a hydraulic seal between the circulating water pumphouse and service water building.
The seal vill stop water from flowing into the area surrounding the service water pump structure which vill have foundation support added.
Zack starting Welder Certification Program New velding procedures for Zack welders have been prepared and work started last Monday to certify the Zack velders to these new procedures.
The new procedures and certification is being donc as'a result of an audit performed November 30, 1982, on the Zack certification program.
As a result of the audit, performed by the HVAC quality assurance section, Zack work on safety-related systems has been stopped since thenn Pending NRC approval, HVAC safety related production work could soon resume.
Circulating Water Pump Motors Tested Test engineers have opera +.ed for the first time the circulating water pump motors, located in the circulatinE vater pumphouse adjacent to the cooling pond.
The pumps will be tested next, in preparation for. the flushing of the condenser and secondary side of the plant.
Cable Reinspection Continues Reinspection by MPQAD,, o f over 9,000 safety-related electric cables is continuing.
QA records indicate that as of March 7, scme 7,276 electric circuits have been verified for correct cable code and seven incorrect cables have been detected since the reinspec-tion began in October.
Work Supports Evaporator Testing dh[
The plant chercis t ry department has be en _vpqrl? ng three shifts to support filling one in of the large grey Dev vater storage tanks.
Water from the tank will be pumped through the process steam evaporator system as part of the plant test program.
In a separate item, the ECO group has completed an extensive program to check out the, electrical system on design modifications made to the plant,'s demineralized vater storage and transfer system.

MIDLAN D REEVHEW Volume 2, Number 13 March 22. !co Operations Moves Into Control Room Ar'ea The Midland Operations group moved Friday from the shift supervisor office on the second floor of the plant administration building to the plant supervisor's office adjacent to the control room.
The new office vill be staffed three shifts daily, seven days a week.
The operations department is routinely operating makeup demineralizers, auxiliary boilers, the process steam control room and the house service air compressors, located in the turbine building.
The new extension for the operations group is 602.
' Operating License Hearings Scheduled The Atcmic Safety and Licensing ~5 card (ASLB) vill reconvene the operating license hearings March 28-April 1 to hear testimony on two OL contentions steam generator tube integrity, and the assessment of the likelihood and severity of " severe accidents" in the Draft Environmental Statement (DES /Precur-sors Contention).
Also, on March 29, the 3 card vill hear li=ited appearance statements from cembers, of the public.
These statements give the public an opportunity to state a position and raise questions which he or she vould like to have ansvered.
k Soils ork in Progress Load transfer for Pier 12E vas accomplished last week and Mergentime crevs are beginning work on Pier llE.
Similar work was accomplished last week with Fier llW.
Also, the horizontal drif ts for Piers 9W and I have been co=pleted and the 35-foot deep vertical piers are proceeding to the bottom bell excavation.
In the near future, work activities vill begia on Piers 8 and 10 and on modifications to beam connections in the auxiliary building.
- Also, work vill be starting soon-en deep utility probing and devatering vall installa-tion in the service water pump structure and on preparatory work for the new SWST tank foundations.
Si_ren Test Su cc es s ful The City of Midland successfully tested the 22 electronic sirens located within city limits.
The sirens are part of the prompt public notification system being installed in accordance with nuclear plant site emergency plan recuirements.
The test, conducted March-19, verified the audible sound level and the rotational featur.es of the pole mounted sirens.
The city vill use the. sirens located v; thin city limits for adverse weather varning.

Consumers Power Company today announced new dates for the co=pletioi the Midland Nuclear Cogeneration Plant and a new cost estimate for the project s
D The completion of Unit 2,
the plant's lead unit, vill be shifted by months froin late July 1983 until the first of October 1984 De commere b
operation date vill likewise shift by 14 months, until February 1985.
The I f.[
] fuel load date is now February 1985, a change of 13 months and its cemen operation date is projected for August 1985, a change of 12 months.
T9 The cost of the project is nov estimated at $4.43 billion.

selby said the principal reasons for the changed schedule v'ere the auxili
[
' building underpinning p rograre and the remaining work to complete the plant i.
implement revised quality control and quality assurance programs to meet requi-h ments and expectations of the Nuclear Regulatory Conesission.
p~ Ii F 3 In remarks to the media, Vice president James W. Cook said me "The develooment of the new project schedule is the result of a compl.
analysis of project status and the evaluation of our planning and vork perforr fp over the past several years.
Our previous schedule vas set in, June 1980 4
^
at that time we project ed ifnit 7 fuel load in July 1983.
Many of the conditi<
~
ve evaluated at that time have changed significantly and our new data reflec c
our re-analysis.
The most significant single factor tied to project complet
)
is the remedial soils work on site.
The evolution of regulatory reviev :
y construction status of this activity has developed into the ps:ing item i f t.1 plant completion."

"The employees at Midland have shown their dedication and c omnii t roe n t

"We have a procedure in place whereby veI request au t ho riz'a t i on from t,

For those activities authorize ve have reached and sustained excellent production rates and have proven j
