JOSEPH M. FAdLL'i NUCLEAR PLANT - UNIT 2 CONSTRUCTION PERc11T EXTENSION REQUEST On January 11, 1978, Alsbama Power Company applied for, pursuant to Section 50.55 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, an extension in the latest date reflected in Construction Permit CPPR-86 for completion of construction of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Unit 2. That appli-cation sought extension of the latest date to July 1,1980. For the reasons set forth below, Alabama Power Company amends its pending applica-tion to request that the latest date for construction completion of Farley Unit 2 in CPPR-86 be extended to December 31, 1980.

The January 11, 1978 application provided the basis for our request that the latest construction completion date be extended to July 1, 1980.

It now appears that construction of Farley Unit 2 will not be complete by that date, due principally to two unrelated developments in 1979, both which were beyond the control of the Company.

First, during the period January through August, 1979, Alabama Power Company was forced to cut back its construction force on Unit 2. The need for this cutback was caused by a deterioration of Company earnings to the l point that the Company was unable to secure additional short-term loans to I complete construction. This situation was recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission and has been discussed with the NRC staff at length.

After lengthy proceedings before the Alabama Public Service Commission, a ]

portion of the rate relief requested was granted in July, 1979. This in turn l allowed the Company to obtain additional loans that were necessary to l I

reactivate the full construction force. An increase in the construction force on Unit 2 was then initiated in August, 1979. The construction force i is now at full strength.
