Docket Nos. 50-438, and 50-439 APPLICANT: Tennessee Valley Authority PROJECT:
Bellefonte Units 1 and 2
SUBJECT:
SEPTEMBER 21-23, 1981 - SUtt%RY OF NRC CASELOAD FORECAST
~
' PANEL VISIT Sackcround A.neeting notice was issued on September 4,1981 announcing that an HRC Caseload Forecast Panel would visit the Bellefonte 1/2 site to observe construction progress and discuss the current status of and future construction plans for the. project.
The' visit _was scheduled for and took place during the period of Septecber 21-23, 1981. Discussions were held with TVA management on September 21, a plant tour was conducted on September 22, and 'a final presentation of the findings was made by the
-NRC on September 23, 1981. The meeting noti e stated that the meetings were open to interested members of the public; however, no interest by the public was made apparent prior to or during the meeting.
Sumary The panel concluded that construction of Bellefonte Unit No. I would not likely be -
coreleted prior to April 1984. Assessnent of Unit !!o. 2 cocpletion was not possible
- tc.mse of the uncertainti.es which will affect co piction inclucing nanning levels cnd engineering. priority to be assigned by TVA to that project curing toe next two vears.

Tne necting on September 21 was opened with an overvicu of tne current status and major. problen areas by the Project Manager, Mr. L'. Dahnke. The project is pre-
.sently 3~.6% behind TVA's construction schedule with actual construction at 69.2% as conpared to a scheduled 73.8% coc:pletion. There are approxin:ately 4050 personnel presently egloyed on the Bellefonte Project including 3400 trades and labor person-nel and 650 salaried personnel. The labor force mst be expanded to about 4300 persen-nel for the next 6-9 months to maintain the present schedule. It is intended to dhert some personnel fro"t the Phipps Bend Hartsville and Yellow Creek projects (which have been slowed down by TVA management) and from the Sequoyah Unit 30. 2, which has recently received an operating license and is therefore out of the construction phase.
Those TVA has yet to firm up decisions.in three major areas affecting Bellefonte.
areas are modifications to the moisture separators, concrete coating of ERCU piping t
and mocifications resulting from the TMI Action Plan.

A presentation by the Design Project Manager followed. He stated that most of the TMI Action Plan modifications have been incorporated into the design and that design
~
and engineering on the structur.es was complete but some design remained relative to supports (hangers and snubbers). It was stated that some time savings will be.real-ized by corrbining some of the construction testing with preoperational testing. TVA has a program underway to ultimately comply with HUREG-0588 relative to environmental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment. However, the requirements have not yet been finalized by the NRC. Electrical design was estimated at 92% complete.
In response to agenda itea No. 4. TVA stated that there is presently a shortage of about 25 QC inspectors and a high turnover rate of engineers. Some difficulty has been experienced in competing with consumer-owned utilities as far as attracting qualified personnel. The shortage of QC inspectors has required those inspectors who are employed to work many hours of overtime to prevent idling of craft workers.
- The presentation on bulk comodities indicated the following:
1.
A total of 58,000 pipe hangers, supports and snubbers will be required for both units.
2.
There are 15,700 large hangers (212 and larger) for safety related com-ponents which are being supplied by Grinnell. There have been some problems with Grinneil meeting required delivery dates. Final delivery is targeted for 9/82.
A major hanger reinspection program is underway to avoid problems whicn 3.
occurred at Sequcyah and Matts Bar.
4 To meet TVA's projected conpletion date of t' arch 1983 for Unit tio.1, a sustained cable installation rate of 78,000 f t/ week will be required.
Over the past 12 uceks, the actual rates ac5ieved averated 40,000 ft/wech. Fo.,ever. cuript the past two week s. J.@,0C0 f t/ weck hcVe been installed.
5.
Thers vas so e uncertainty regarding how much cable remins in order to i
cotplate Unit 1 only. Cable for Unit 1 was estimated to be 62h instal-led.
G.
Instrument installation is proceeding on' schedule but will require con-tinuing effort and management attention to stay on schedule. A large nurber of instruments is scheduled for delivery in Md-1982.
7.
1.arge seismic hanger and small hanger (both seismic and non-seismic) installation rates over the past 12 weeks are considerably less than that required to support a March 1983 completion date.

In some cases, cable is being installed without the " terminal devices" heing available to install in order to maintain the required rate of cable installation.
A large nuncer of 50.55(e) reports is outstanding for the Se11efonte Plant. Fcrty of these reports will be closed out in the near future by 01&E. Of the remaining 57 reports,11 depend on finalization of B&W action including the " change assessment progran" to be proposed by BW in response to NUPIG-0737. Four of the reports require resolution of significant containment tendon problems by INRYCO. Some of the 50.55(e) reports deal with inadequacies of anchor bolts and anchorage materials.
TVA is confident that all 'of the outstanding issues covered by 50.55(e) reports will be resolved by March 1983.
The. supervisor in charge of the preoperational test program (S. H. Rudge) explained details of the program which is anticipated to start in February 1982 and will require 13-15 nonths to complete. Instrumentation preop test planning was said to be behind schedule. Twenty-three more engineers will be added to his staff in FY82 to au0 ment the present twelve in planning and executing the test program. A total of 185 test procedures are needed for Unit i fuel load. Of that number, 16 have been approved and approximately 90 more are drafted or being written.
Conclusions and Basis for Conclusions The Caseload Forecast Panel arrived at the following conclusions:
1.
It is not likely that ccnstruction of the Bellefonte Unit No. I will be cc719ted to the pcint of receiving an c;erating license prior to i4ril 1%4.
2.
A finite date for licensing of Unit No. 2 is not estimated at this point in tite due to uncertainties in r:anpower levels cedicated to co 7letion of the unit. fcsever, eith proper manpcaer allccation, Unit :io. 2 coulc be co pleted within 14-24 nonths after co pletion.cf Unit No.1.
t 9.e conclusicas regarding Unit to.1 are based on the follouing observations of the panel:
a). Actual installation rates of bulk co:modities over the past 3 years have consistently been less than the target installation rates needed to meet an earlier construction conpletion date.
l b) There are uncertainties in the quantity of bulk cotraodities presently installed as conpared to total quantities required for_ Unit _1.

c) Uncertainties of manpower levels and. availability o'f qualified personnel to sustain required progress makes an earlier date unlikely.
d) Cogarison with plants"whic'h have received an operating license (OL) 1.n
~
recent years and plants which are expected to receive OL's in the next 18 nonths indicates that additional time will be required for completion of construction of Bellefonte beyond that projected by TVA based on the information supplied and the plant tour.
e) The preoperational test progran as presented appears to be unrealistic considering the work remaining to be done, the number of unresolved issues remaining and the present status of test procedures.
f) The amount of work remaining in the reactor building, including electri-cal cables, instrumentation and mechanical restraints, would not appear to support an earlier completi.on date.
g) The number of unresolved issues (including 50.55(e) reports) and unspec-ified additional requirements (including the change assessnent program) would not appear to support an earlier date.
The above conclusions and basis were comunicated to TVA management [ during the exit meeting held at the Bellefonte site on September 23, 1981. The NRC considers tnat TVA management has developed adequate programs to address the concerns and focus the appropriate anount of emphasis on construction completion to support an early 1904 date. !;RR will deveico a detailed review schedule based upon an April 1954 license decision <* ate. This schedule.eill be fomarded.to TVA by Comter 1,191.
