On May 4 and 5,1973, we met with representatives of Pennsylvania Power and Lignt Company (PPSL) and their Architect Eagineer Bechtel to discuss the scheduling of canstruction and preoperational testing and to observe t'ta status of construction. The list of attendees (Enclosure 1 and 2) and the
.neeting agenda (Enclosure 3) are attached.
The applicaat liscussed his construction activities including a description i
of tne PP&L organization and an overvie.v af their construction schcdule.
A taur was then conducted of the plant tc observe the status of canstruction.
Construction was initiated on ilovember 1973 and the PPal fuel laa.1 date for Unit 1 is presently proj.tet td for ilay 1980. The construction scheduling is based on a fuel loa l lita af F.hruary 1980 which provides a 3 nonth iargiti between their schedule date and their required date.
PP*.L statai that at present they were about one i.1onth behind the February 1930 schedule date.
PPSL indicated that their en jineering an.1 1asign efforts are on schedule.
ThS 2aji.ieeri;ig and design activities are ap;>ra. i-iataly 70~, co.aplete.

The percentage cu,aplete is bas.fi an.aanpower expended to date and tue estinate af aanpower required to complete canstructial of all the ficilities and systems necessary to i.1ake Unit 1 oparational.
To make the naxioun use of personnel with previous nuclear plant startap experience the startup organizatio:i is an integrated group of personnel from ' oth the Bechtel organization and PP&L organization. The Integrated o
t Stortup Group (ISG) supervisor is from the Bechtal organization and the assistant supervisor is a PPal employee. The preoperation test schedule is based on the overall :ailestone schedule. From our brief review of the test schedule there appeared to de soue conflict between the preoperatio.1al test scnedule and the construction scheaule, i.e.,
t.y.
in soue instances the schedule dates for initiation of preoperational i
testing did not agree with the schedule date far completion of construction.
J.
In addition, though the senedule indicated that so,ae preoperational t
testing was to have been initiated none was started. The duration l'.
- ~
of the test schedule is expected to be about 20 months.
Conclusion The applicant's earliest and latest dates' of completion for Unit 1, as reflected in the Construction Permit, are March 1,1979 and March 1, 1981 respectively. Based on our evaluation of the information presented on tne status of construction, the status of the preoperational testing, discussions with his staff, and the plant tour we tnink the target date of day 1980 is reasonable for a present " earliest date," but that a more nominal date would be about six to seven conths later, still prior to the established " latest date," however. We advised the dpplicant of our present view on the projected coupletion schedule.

SUMMARY
OF CASELOAD FORECAST PANEL SITE VISIT On May 17, 18 and 19, 1983, the NRC Caseload Forecast Panel (CFP) met with the applicant and toured the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Units 1 and 2.
The purpose of the meeting and tour was review of construction progress to assess the utility's projected fuel load date so that NRC licensing review may be appropriately scheduled.
On May 17, a meeting was held where the applicant presented information illustrating construction progress in areas such as procurement and bulk commodities.
On May 18, an extensive site tour was held.
The final day, May 19, was reserved' for additional questions or site touring. A list of attendees is included as Enclosure 1.
The utility's anticipated fuel load date is September 1,1986.
The fuel load pro-jection of the CFP based on this three-day visit will be transmitted to the appli-cant at a later date.
The following sections present a detailed sunmary of the CFP site visit.
Tuesday, May 17, 1983, at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Visitor's Center, Waynesboro, GA i
The applicant's presentation, based on their "NRC Ca'seload Forecast" notebook, was divided into 12 sections as shown on the agenda included in the meeting notice.
Opening remarks dealt with an organizational overview of Southern Company and Georgia Power Company (GPC). Also presented was a Vogtle overview and history in addition to yogtle project organization.
Beginning with a construction overview, the applicant presented a list of construc-tion milestones completed and a list of scheduled future milestones (Enclosure 2).
Unit I and Comon major milestones completed through April 1983 include the start of setting the NSSS system, setting the polar crane and dome, commencing cable -
pulling and starting reactor coolant piping.
Unit 1 and Conrnon major milestones scheduled for completion in 1983 include starting terminations, _ finishing Unit 1 civil work, starting turbine generator erection and setting the main control l
boards. As of the end of April, Unit 1 and Comon project work is approximately i
52.5% complete.
Unit 2 is 16.1% complete for a two-unit completion of 44.3%.
The April 1983 status of engineering for Unit 1 and Common is-73% complete with the majority remaining in engineering field and licensing support.
Engineering utilizes weekly status reports for timely interaction with construction. These two groups also hold meetings to minimize problems.
Specific actions have been taken to improve design construction interfaces including the Constructibility

.; Review Program, a series of meetings between management and craf ts which lead to inproved design and construction methods, and the Project Field Engineering Tea.1, consisting of engineers from Bechtel and Southern Company Services on site to facilitate field design changes with less delay.
Several past problems and their solutions were highlighted.
For example, the concept of ALARA has been addressed through a fornal review program evaluating the design of each radioactive system.
A second problem area dealt with 4 subsections of hazards review:
seismic 2 over 1 (Regulatory Guide 1.29), internal missiles, flooding, and high-energy linebreak analysis.
All have been addressed through a review program and/or a review analysis and are completed for Unit 1.
In the section on procurement, the applicant stated that most major equipment was purchased between 1977 and 1982.
Presently about 95% of the Unit 1 major engineered equipment and systems have been purchased with 70% on site or in storage.
Approxi-mately 80% of the nuclear valves and 77% of non-nuclear valves for both units have been delivered.
NSSS equipnent installation is complete for Unit 1 and scheduled for August 1984 for Unit 2.
Cold hydro is scheduled for March 1986 and September 1987 for Units 1 and 2, respectively.
The work force on site is forecasted to peak in late 1983 at 7,950.
Presently, on site staffing consists of 6,267 major contractor craft personnel, 801 contractor non-manual personnel and 907 Georgia Power Construction personnel totaling 7,975.
The total workforce is currently exceeding the forecasted peak in order to maintain the construction schedule.
During the peak period of late 1983 the largest craft requirements will be of electricians, pipefitters, laborers and carpenters. illustrates incremental manpower requirements until construction com-pletion.
The Multi-Activity Construction Performance Program (M-ACPP) was developed in 1981 to improve craftsman's productivity.
Since that time improvements have been visible in turnover rate, absenteeism, and direct work. Also discussed was the unique shift schedule at Vogtle first started in 1981.
There are 2 Mon-Thurs shifts and 2 Fri-Sun shifts to allow construction to continue around the clock.
In the area of pipe hangers, the applicant indicated that design of Unit i large pipe hangers is 95% complete, procurement is 82% complete and installation is 177.
complete.
Unit 1 pipe whip restraint design is 54% complete with installation not yet begun.
Unit 1 and Common small pipe hangers are approximately 407. design com-plete with under 2% installation complete.
The scheduling of the project consists of 5 schedule levels.
Tne various levels encompass a range of schedules from major milestones to daily work schedules. The levels also contain schedules which interrelate engineering, construction, and turn-over.
The Project /2 schedule, a subdivision of a broader schadule, develops major bulk commodity time tables and will ultimately tie in construction turnovers and startup scheduling. The different schedule levels lead to early identification of negative critical paths.
The negative paths all developed delays due to the late start of installing small pipe.
Actions are being planned to correct this.

i In the area of bulk commodities, the applicant indicated that Unit 1 and Connon con-crete placement is 82% complete.
Other largely completed commodities include build-ing large pipe (52%,) and cable tray (73%).
Areas showing the least amount of pro-gress for Unit I and Common include teminations (0%), small pipe hangers (2%) and yard small pipe (5%). su?.marizes bulk commodity status.
Preoperational and startup activities were also discussed.
Each preoperational test is to be complete 90 days before the system turnover date.
The first system turn-over, the 230 kv switchyard, is scheduled for August 1984.
Startup tests are to begin October 1984 with completion in May 1986.
In the area of licensing requirements, the applicant stated that there has been an ongoing program to identify and solve licensing changes early to minimize any schedular impact.
Specific actions have been perfomed to address such significant licensing issues as TM1 Itms, Fire Protection and ATWS.
Also, several 10 CFR 50.55(c) reported potential deficiencies have been addressed and corrected such as deficiencies in cable teminations in cabinets and the possibility of residual stress in diesel generator piston skirt castings due to the heat treating method utilized.
Wednesday, May 18, 1983, at the Vogtle Electric Generating Station, Waynesboro, GA The CFP toured the Vogtle site on Wednesday to observe the status of construction.
Among the areas observed were the containment building, the turbine building, the control and fuel handling building, the auxiliary building and the intake structure.
Thursday, May 19, 1983, at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Visitor's Center _
A brief meeting was held with the applicant on Thursday morning in order to obtain additional infonnation necessary for the staff to make its estimate of the fuel load date.
The applicant clarified a bulk ccnmodity graph and supplied additional information on the number of terminations, and cable tray and large pipe hanger installations.
