James L. Kelley, Chairman Dr. Paul W. Purdom Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 235 Columbia Drive Panel Decatur, Georgia 30030 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Dr. Richard F. Foster P. O. Box 4263 Sunriver, Oregon 97702 Re: Catawba Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-413 and 50-414 O L Gentlemen:
This letter is to inform the Board of a recent change in the schedule for full power operation of Unit I at the Catawba Nuclear Station. The change in the schedule was necessitated by the discovery, in the evening of October 23, 1984, of a leak at a thermocouple on the Unit I reactor vessel head. This leak required Unit 1 to be placed in cold shutdown for repair, cleanup, and evaluation.
The date for achieving criticality and operation at levels less than 5%
of full power is now expected during the first two weeks of December. Under that schedule, additional licensing authority will be necessary from the NRC Staff around December 1, 1984. As we have noted before, a Board Order is necessary a few days before that date in order that the Staff can issue the license in a timely fashion.
Sincerely yours, j
Albert V. Ca-r, Jr AVCjr/dm c: Service List 8411070143 841101 gDRADOCK 05000413 PDR
