. ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE FOR HIDLAND UNIT The annual update of construction completion dates by the !!RC staff's Caseload

~

Forecast Panel has projected a sli units scheduled for construction. p for Midland Unit 2, the first of the Midland As indicated in a previous letter to the ramand board concerning an earlier projection by the Panel, schedular estimates for Midland Unit 2, although only a rough indication, could potentially be ralovant and material to the Midland remand proceeding.

be of interest to the OL hearing board for information purposes since it in 'This matte 1

fluences the staff's schedule for completion of the' Midland radiological safety review and may provide the bases for more reliable schedules yet to be developed.

Accordingly, I reconnend that both the remand and OL boards be informed of this nattar.

Background information concerning the previous and current estimates of the Panel for Midland Unit 2 1s given below.

A Previous Estimates H, -

On March 8; 1978, the NRC staff forwarded a memorandum from Roger S. Boyd, Director of Project Management, dated March 7,1978, concerning differing staff analyses of estimated construction completion dates for Midland Unit 2.

The be relevant and material to the Midland remand proceeding specific analysis was subsequently undertaken and documented in a " Summary of March 21-22,1978 Meeting and Site Visit" dated March 27, 1978.

In its detailed analysis, the NRC staff concluded that the applicant's proposed construction schedule, based on the project status at that time, appeared to be realistic

' j l

and achievable, although it may be a bit on the optimistic sideh250 e t

D. B. Vassallo MAY 151979 and by the NRC staff's Caseload Forecast Panel, the applicant's earliest e~ stimate of the time to complete construction was not unreasonable, though slightly optimistic..However, the staff further noted that in the event of unusual diffi-culties in correcting the settlement of certain structures recently discovered to be occurring at the site, this estimate may have to be ravised.

By letter of April 24, 1979, responding to the staff's 10 CFR 50.54(f) requests regarding -

the plant fill matter, the applicant advised that remedial actions for structures in addition to the diesel generator building will be performed.

The schedule

. for the remedial actions is not yet known.-

Current Estimate The attached memorandum from Ms. S. Kari advises that the most recent estima Tcr Hidland Unit 2 by the NRC staff's Caseload Forecast Panel suggests a delay of 32-33 months beyond the applicant's estimate for completion of construction, but that a more precise estimate will be undertaken once other schedular factors such as the impact of the soil settlement matter and of the Three-Mile Island, Unit 2 accident can be evaluated.

In the meantime, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation is using the Panel's latest estimate of November 1981 for Midland Unit 2 conpletion for purposes of planning and prioritics.
