It supplies service directly to retail customers in 216 cities, towns and unincorporated communities. It also sells electricity through con-tractural arrangements to NCMPA-1, NCEMC, Saluda River and PMPA. It also sells at wholesale to approximately 8 other incorporated municipalities and to private utilities. The total installed capacity of Duke's electric utility plant as of March 1, 1984 was 13,594,000 KWe consisting of eight conventional steam electric stations with a capacity of 6,603,000 KWe, two nuclear steam electric stations with a capacity of 4,940,000 KWe, twenty-five conventional hydroelectric plants with a capacity of 842,000 KWe, a four unit pumped storage hydroelectric station with a capacity of 610,000 KWe, and twenty-eight independent combustion turbine and diesel generator peaking units with a capacity of 599,000 KWe.

5. Class and Period of License Applied for and Use to Which Facilities I Will be Put The license hereby applied for is a class 103 operating license as defined by 10 CFR 50.22. It'is requested for a period of forty (40) years from the date of issuance of the operating license. Applicants further request such additional source, special nuclear, and by product material licenses as may be necessary or appropriate to the acquisition, construction, possession, and operation of the licensed facilities and for authority to store irradiated fuel from other Duke nuclear facilities.

At present, Duke has no specific plans to utilize this storage alternative but, rather, considers it prudent planning to have this storage as one of the alternatives available.

This application also requests that the operating license so issued authorize the NCMPA-1, NCEMC, Saluda River and PMPA an undivided owner-

[

ship interest in source, special nuclear and by product material to be possessed by Duke in operation of the Catawba Nuclear Station.

The facilities will be used for the generation of commercial electric energy for transmission and sale to customers of Duke, NCMPA-1, NCEMC, Saluda River and PMPA. They will include two pressurized water reactors to be known as " Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2." It is expected that each unit will be capable of an output of 3427 MWt (including 16 MWt contribution from reactor coolant pumps) corresponding to a net electrical capability of about 1145 MWe. All physics and core thermal hydraulics in-formation in the attached Final Safety Analysis Report is based upon the )

l reference core design of 3411 MWt. Site parameters, Containment, l Engineered Safety Features, and certain hypothetical accidents are la Pev. 3 l

4

evaluated for an NSSS power output of 3581 MWt. The Westinghouse

( Electric Corporation will supply the design and fabrication for the first core for each of the two nuclear generating units.

6. Financial Qualifications of Applicants Duke estimates that the total cost of the Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, including the initial core for each unit, will be approximately

$4,135,846,000 based on the following breakdown:

INITIAL TOTAL PLANT TOTAL PLANT FUEL CORES PLUS INITIAL FUEL Direct Cost at Commercial OperationU)2,530,945,000 160,081,000 2,694,994,000 Allowance for Funds ( )

During Const. 1,369,055,000 71,797,000 1,440,852,000 Property Taxes During Const. - - -

( Total Costs ( ) 3,900,000,000 235,846,000 4,135,846,000 (1) Excludes profits and fees paid Duke by NCMPA-1, NCEMC, Saluda River and/or PMPA (2) Reflects Duke AFOC on entire station and does not reflect NCMPA-1, NCEMC, Saluda River or PMPA financing costs.

(3) Reflects approved 1/84 cost estimate.

The financial qualifications of Duke Power Company to engage in the pro-l posed activities are evidenced by the financial data contained in its an-nual report to shareholders for the year 1979 a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I. The financial qualifications of NCMPA-1 and PMPA to engage in the proposed activities are evidenced by the financial statements attached hereto as Exhibit II and Exhibit III respectively.

Construction of the Catawba Nuclear Station will be financed as an ,

l integral part of Duke's total construction program. Funds required of l 15 Pe. 3

i i

I Duke for the construction program will be obtained from' retained 4 earnings, provisions for depreciation and other internal sources, and through shortterm borrowings and the issuance and sale of securities.

NCMPA-1 intends to issue and sell its electric revenue bonds in amounts sufficient for NCMPA-1 to pay to Duke its obligations for the cost of the planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction and completion of ,

1 75% of Catawba Unit 2 and 371/2% of the cost of the Support Facilities. j PMPA intends to issue and sell its electric revenue bonds in amounts j sufficient for PMPA to pay to Duke its obligations for the cost of the i planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction and completion of  ;

25% of Catawba Unit 2.

NCEMC and Saluda River have obtained loans from the Federal Financing Bank guaranteed by the Rural Electrification Administration ("REA") in i

amounts sufficient for NCEMC and Saluda River to pay to Duke amounts equal to the following percentages applied to the aggregate cost of the planning, design, licensing, acquisition, construction, and completion of Catawba Unit 1, Catawba Unit 2, and the Support Facilities: NCEMC -

28.125% of Catawba Units 1 and 2 and 28.125% of the Support Facilities; Saluda River - 9.375% of Catawba Units 1 and 2 and 9.375% of the Support Facilities.

The estimated annual costs for the first five full years of operation '

I for Catawba Nuclear Station are noted in Table 1.3.1-3 of the Environmental Report - Operating License Stage.

The estimated cost of decommissioning the station, considering the

( immediate dismantlement option currently considered most appropriate y Nv, 3

1

+ 1 by the MRC, is $100 million ($1978) for both Catawba units; The funds i necessary to operate and shutdown the facility will be derived from the electrical operating revenues. l Duke will obtain on behalf of the owners all required and appropriate property and liability insurance for the Catawba Nuclear Station and its fuel and will advise the Commission accordingly.

7. Site Location and Completion Dates The Catawba Nuclear Station site is located on the shore of Lake Wylie which is impounded by Applicant's Wylie Dam completed in 1925. The dam, lake and hydroelectric station are covered by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license #2232 granted to the Duke in 1958 for the Catawba-Wateree Project. That license specifically covers the use of Lake Wylie waters as condenser cooling water for a steam generating plant at this site.

Duke's projected load requirements will necessitate full power operation of Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 1, by June 1985, and Unit 2, by June 1987. The date for completion of construction of Unit 1 is estimated to be May 1984. While the official schedule for construction completion on Unit 2 is October 1986, an accelerated target schedule of January 1986 l

has been set and is currently being met.

l Construction Permit No. CPPR-116 currently indicates the date for completion of Unit 1 is March 1, 1984. An application for an extension l of the construction permit has been filed requesting a new completion l

date of November 1, 1984. Construction permit No. CPPR-117 indicates the l

1, ~ ,

date for completion of Unit 2 is September 1, 1985. A request for an extension of the construction permit will be filed at the appropriate time.
