SUMMARY
OF APRIL 12-13, 1978 MEETING AND SITE VISIT
- c.
m ;.
c On April 12-13, 1978; we met with representatives of the licensee
[.
at the Bellefonte site to discuss the scheduling of construction and to observe the construction activities in progress. The purpose of the meeting and visit was to examine variations in
'y estimated dates for completion of construction of the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant. A list of attendees is included in the e.-
enclosure.
We met with the licensee at the construction site offices on the morning nf April 12 and toured the site during the afternoon.
Additional discussions followed the tour and continued again in the morning of April 13. These discussions included the following topics:
k 1.
NRC Fuel Load Forecast Medel 2.
Basis for Bellefonte Percentage Completion Reported in the Construction Status Report (Yellow Book)
^f 3.
Status of Engineering Design c,
4.
Status of Procurement d4 '
5.
Status of Construction p
6.
Status of Preoperational. Testing NRC Fuel Load Forecast Model k[.
-e h.
We discussed our development of a forecast model to estimate nuclear 8.b power plant fuel load dates. The model consists of an average curve M
of construction versus time and is based on the construction history fy of 14 different nuclear plants. Using this curve and the reported f;C?fi percentage completion of construction for a particular plant we can 5-i
/
make an estimate of the time remaining until completion of construction.

March 1978 issue of the Yellow Book. Bellefonte Unit I was reported to be 52% complete (includes all areas c'ommon to both Units) and Unit 2 7

mated total manhours is updated webkly and is based on benchmark com-pletions. The licensee considers the percent complete figures to be GM e[K W
a good reflection of construction progress.
s Status of Engineering Desian WW The licensee uses a computerized information system for detailed
@.Q.1 tracking and reporting of construction progress. The system includes g.)., '
tracking of detailed milestones of facility design, construction, and 8IN preoperational testing.
i The licensee reports that the engineering design of the Bellefonte facility was 76% complete as of March 25, 1979. Design of the NSSS i
3 is 92% complete. The civil engineering design is 82% complete with

Status of procurement 7.y.,
wi Procurement is reported to be 75% complete. Procurement activities are based on key construction dates. The licensee has experienced difficul.ty in obtaining control panels, stainless steel spools,
$a 13.8 kv boards, valves, pipe hangers, and snubbers. Most major equipment JR i
items have been delivered. The licensee is considering on-site fabrica-6f?-
Ms..e,.
tion of hangers and snubbers.
S.a tg::g.i Status of Construction L
The current work force at the site consists of about 3400 people, of k.w::p.M which approximately 800 work the second and third shifts. At the h6~~i' present time, the construction emphasis is changing from a basic ryg structural-civil effort to a mechanical-electrical effort.

'in F APR 2 71978 As such, the relative mix of workers by trades is changing. The licensee does not anticipate any problems in attaining the correct mix of skills for the job. There is an on-site welding school to assure an adequate supply of qualified delders.

All craft union contracts are renegotiated annually. However, the licensee does not anticipate any delays as a result cf contract nego-n.:.

Construction appears to be proceeding at a good pace.- However, most areas are behind the original 64-month schedule for various reasons.

~
Construction of the containment buildings is being done slightly pg.?
different from most facilities; the NSSS is installed early with the containment then being constructed around the NSSS. The licensee is
.? F not sure if this will result in any time savings. Two 10-hour shif ts 4: ~.. '
are currently working on the containment structures. The Unit I con-
[T:.':
tainment dome is expected to be completed in September of next year.

, Or For Unit 1, the percentage completions by area for mechanical and electrical installations are as follows:
Mechanical Electrical Auxiliary Building 10%
34%
Containment Building 0%
