SUH4ARY OF CASE LOAD FORECAST PANEL SITE VISITS OF 4

JUNt 13,14 AND 15,1978 Representatives of the IMC's Case Load Forecast Panel net with represent-atives of the Washington Public Power Supply Syste:a (WPPSS) at the WPPSS offices in Richland, Washington, and at the project sites on the Hanford Reservation approxiraately 10 miles north of Richland.

i

Background

i During the past several months, members of the !RC Case Load Forecast Panel have visited several nuclear plant sites to assess the status of construction and to evaluate tne applicant's projected construction co:npletion cates. The oDjective of these site visits, is to provide the panel with an opportunity to evaluate the applicant's present status of construction and to use that information to predict construction ca.apletion dates based on our experience with construction times at other nuclear stations. Tne WPPSS project visit was one of these scheduled series of Leetings.

Sumary, i

A generalized presentation by WPPSS of the WPPSS construction program was given on 6/13, in the WPPSS offices in Richland, followed by more specific sumaries of each of the WNP-1 and WNP-2 project efforts.

Appropriate senior management officials of WPPSS made the presentations i

and responded to questions posed by tne panel members. The enclosed dgenda identifies the topics discussed and the responsible individuals.

l A raeeting attendance list is also enclosed.

SEP 2 81979 WNP-1 J. Thomas, WNP-1/4 Project Manager, stated that WNP-1 was about 11.5%

complete as of May 26, 1978, some two years and nine months after receiving a Limited Work Authorization in August 1975. He described the official WPPSS schedule that would require a completion rate of about two percent per month for the next 40 months in order to reach 90% completion twelve months prior to the planned fuel load date of June 1982. Coiamercial operation is scheduled for December 1982. WPPSS plans to submit the Final Safety Analysis Report for operating license review in Decemoer 1979.

Several otner scheduled milestones are:

Set reactor vessel May 1979 Begin test a startup program December 1980 i

i Hycrostatic test NSSS November 1981 Tne engineering for WNP-1 was reported to be approximately 90% complete.

The project manager receives weekly reports on construction progress, in nis meeting with area specialists. At the WRP-1 site, specialists were available to discuss progress in each of five major construction activities:

Civil and structural Electrical Piping Hechanical

{

Instrumentation and air i

Percent completion of individual work activities is measured by ecplaced I

material or otherwise actually completed work. The overall project critical path is identified monthly with a computer program designed to monitor schedule progress.

l Based on our evaluation of the information presented by WPPSS or.

the status of construction, staff discussions with WPPSS representatives, l

and the construction site visit, the RRC Caseload Forecast Panel staff I

members felt that WPPSS had been somewhat pessimistic in their estimate of percent completion and that as of the date of our visit the figure i

was nearer 20%. On that basis, and assuming a construction progress rate of 1.8% per month until the 90% completion point is reacned, the WWP-1 fuel load date would be reached about September 1982. We believe that the WNP-1 project schedule should be critically examined again in March 1979 to update the current projections.

WMP-2 g

A. Kohler, WNP-2 Project Manager, stated that WNP-2 was about 60% complete at the date of this meeting. The current projected fuel load date is March 1980. Mr. Kohler stated that a number of significant changes in the project organization within the past year, as well as changes in the WPPSS' method of contracting, had made it possible for WPPSS to move more rapidly toward project completion. One such improvement was the consolidation of the site staff organizations of Burns and Roe and WPPSS personnel. Further, the construction force has been working three shifts since early 1973. The critical path for completion of construction work has been identified as the reactor building and particularly the drywell within that building.

The reactor is a BWR having a Mark 2 containment. WPPSS believes that they will meet all postulated containment design load requirements with the design improvements they are now incorporating into the containment, even though the final load definition will not be fonnally approved by NRC until sometime in 1979.

Some specific construction activities in which WPPSS acknowledged delays are:

installation of exposed conduit, wire and cable, large bore pipe hangars, and cable teminations.

Startup testing plans described by WPPSS showed a 20 to 24 month effort starting approximately 10 to 12 nonths prior to the planned cold hydrostatic test in approximately July 1979, and continuing through the planned fuel load date in March 1980. The assigned startup program manager has had extensive experience having " started" six other BWR plants.

The NRC Caseload Forecast Panel staff conclusions concerning the WNP-2 schedule were based on infonnation presented by WPPSS, discussions with WPPSS and Burns and Roe representatives, and the site visit. We concluded that the applicant's assessment of the time necessary to reach the'90%

completion status, i.e., March 1979, was optimistic. As a result, the applicant's construction completion target date of March 1980 should be considered the earliest possible date. The Caseload Forecast Panel i

considers that an appropriate estimated completion time would be nine i

to twelve months later from December 1980 to March 1981.
