Findings:

- Licensee personnel were questioned on the status and progress of I
l 1
each phase of construction, systems turnover and preoperational c
l testing activities. These, discussions covered the status of civil, j
i mechanical, electrical, design and engineering, systems turnover l
(
and preoperational testing activities regarding work completed, l
work remaining and the associated estimates cf percentage to-complete.
I For the week ending June 29,1977, them was a total of 1,625 i
personnel on the project including crafts and management type.
i I
. h' The civil work was estimated to be 95% plus complete with only a small amount of concrete and structural steel work remaining inside
.i the buildings. The remaining civil work is site mlated and common to both units.
t
?
f There was no overall estimate for the percentage of completion for the mechanical work.
Insulation was estimated at 30% complete.
E The piping was estimated at 75% complete with approximately l
i 400 pieces of 21/2" and over, and 1,000 pieces under 21/2" to 1
I j
install. The majority of the remaining piping work is in the t
turbine and auxiliary buildings. The welds, for all practical purposes, are completed in the containment building as well as the piping.
There is approximately 100 har.gers and restraints to be f
installed in the containment building and approximately 1,460 to l
be installed in the turbine building. This work was estimated to
~
be 95% complete. The mechanical instrunentation was estimated i
i to be approximately 88% complete. There were 25 pipe filter crews 1
=
working day shift,15 working second shift and I crew working third shift.
i a
t
.The electrical work was estimated to be 91% complete as of l
l l
)
June 30, 1977.
There are approximately 1,050 cables remaining i
l j
to be pulled of which 200 are for the Engineering Safeguard j,
i s
System (ESS). The terminations are lagg ng by approximately I
1,000. They are monitored on a weekly basis and on a daily basis for critical path systems. There is a lineal feet of conduit remaining to'be run. pproximately 20,000 i
e E
There were approximately 180-200 electricians currently working on the project.
It was L
estimated that it would take approximately 12 weeks to complete i
the electrical work.
The' design and engineering was estimated to be 100% complete.

There are sixty-nine (69) major systems identified and s.ost hew sub-systems
. Twenty-seven (27) systems have been operated accepted l
either totally or partially.
A review was made of a March 16, 1977 Preoperational Procedure Index t
and Status Report. At our request, this was updated current as of
. July 1, 1977. The review revealed that many preoperational tests i
had slipped and were continuing to slip.
1 The licensee was questioned on the status of Union negotiations, i
potential labor problems, manpower on site, material procurement i
and other items to determine if any would have an impact on the estimated fuel load date.
It was implied that implementation of i
the new security procedures would impact progress by lowering labor productivity. There were no indications of labor problems 5
or strikes. The licensee had not evaluated what impact, if any, the fire protection plan would have. The licensee stated that there may be a loss of craftsmen due to the project nearing 4
completion and the crafts moving to other sites before school starts.
The licensee was expecting a team from NRC to evaluate the ~ seismic qualifications of equipment and had no idea if any i
i new requirements would be placed which would impact the schedule.
i NRC personnel toured the site to evaluate the progress of r
construction, systems turnover and preoperational testing activities, and verify if what had been presented by the licensee has actually been completed or was in progress.
It was noted that the design of the containment building is very compact.
This, could impact progress because of limited work areas.
The licensee was asked if there was a schedule or network inter-grating all the remaining work to support a November,1977 fuel load date. We were shown a May 17, 1977 network which was said i
to be in the process of being updated.

There is back-up information available for an in-depth discussion.

Conclusion:==
2 Based on evaluation.of the foregoing data and information -
i discussions.with licensee personnel and actual obs&rvation of~
i
}
site activities, such as electrical, control room, mechanical, j
j and in particular, the status of the preoperational testing, it is estimated that late February or early March,1978 would be a more realistic fuel: loading date than November,1977.

pig Interview:
NRC personnel met with licensee staff members at the conclusion a
I of the visit and reviewed the findings.
It was reconnended that t
the licensee take an in-depth look at the work remaining, with I
emphasis on the preoperational testing activities, and develop l
6 i
an integrated network showing the interfaces between all i
remaining activities.
