r ILLIN0IS POWER COMPANY, ET. AL, CLINTON POWER STATION,llNIT 1 DOCKET NO.:
50-461 ORDER EXTENDING CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATES Illinois Power Company on behalf of itself, and as agent for Scyland Power Cooperative, Inc. and Western Illinois Power Cooperative, Inc., (the Permittees) are holders of Construction Permit No. CPPR-137 issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on February 24, 1976, for the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1.
This facility is presently under construction at the applicant's site in DeWitt County approximately six miles east of the city of Clinton, Illinois.
By letter dated Auoust 22, 1984, the Illinois Power Company on behalf of the permittees filed a request for an extension of the construction completion date. This request is to extend the latest completion date for the facility from October 1,1984, to October 1,1986.
The Illinois Power Company stated that this extension is requested because construction has been delayed due to the following:
1.
A series of stop work orders and recovery programs initiated by Illinois Power in 198? to implement corrective action and improve construction programs for several areas of construction.
2.
An Overinspection Program and Record Verification Program initiated by Illinois Power in 1982 to verify the quality of construction of large portions of CPS.
i Okt A
l A
-2 Furthermore, the time required to lift the stop work orders and complete the recovery programs, Overinspection Program, and the Record Verification Program was not accounted for in previous request for an extension of the construction permit for Clinton Power Station.
The staff has performed an evaluation of the request for extension.
Based on this review, the staff has determined that the above factors have resulted in significant delays in construction completion and that tia request is for a reasonable period of time when considering the nature of the delays, the bases for which are set forth in the staff's evaluation of the request for extension.
Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(b) an extension is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property of the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.32, the Commission has determined that the issuance of this extenstion will have no significant impact on the environment (50FR7244).
The NRC staff's evaluation of the request for extension of the con-struction permit is available for public inspection at the Commission's Public
i Document Room, 1717 H Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
20555, and at the local public document room established for the Clinton Power Station, at the Warner Vespasian Library, Clinton, Illinois.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the latest completion date for Construction Permit No. CPPR-137 is extended from October 1, 1984 to October 1, 1986.
