On October 17, 1988, the University of Texas (UT or the applicant) filed a request for an extension of the ecmpletion date from December 31, 1988 to April 30, 1989, On Nover/oer 23, 1988, the applicant requested a revision of the date requested in the earlier submitt61 to Der. ember 31, 1989. The exten-sion has been requested because construction has been delayed by the default of the General Contractor in charce of the project. The General Contractor was found in default because of its inability to meet the construction schedule.
The completion of the project is now the responsibility of the bonding company.
The facility exclusive of the reactor structura'l and instrumentation components is estir.ated to be 95 percent complete.
1 Good cause has been shown for the delay; the cause is beyond the control of the applit&nt; and the requested extensinn is for a reasonable period, the bases for which are set forth in the staff's ev:c;luation of the request for extension.
