VIAGARA MOHA'(0K POVER CORPORATION )                      Docket No. 50-410 (Nine Mile Point Unit 2)            )
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF LATEST COMPLETION DATE Pursuant to Section 2.109 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Section 50.55(b) of the Commission's Regulations, Niagara      Mohawk I
Power  Corporation, holder of Construction Permit    No. CPPR-112,  hereby requests an extension of    its latest completion date for Nine Mile Point Unit 2. Xn  support of such request,'Niagara  Mohawk Power Corporation states as follows:
(1)  In the aforesaid construction permit, the latest completion date specified is July 31, 1978.      At t.his t'ime, the project is about 20 percent complete and cannot be finished within the time specified in the construction permit; (2)  Niagara Mohawk Power, Corporation requests    that the latest completion date in the construction permit  be extended  to December 31, 1984;
(3)  In late L973, the then President of the United States publicly  announced    the seriousness    of the energy crisis confronting      the United States.      Immediately thereafter  and  continuing to this time, there has been a  reduction in the use of    electricity    and, consequently,    for  power demand  in Niagara    Nohawk Power  Corporation's service area'.      Accordingly, the need  for this facility to produce      power has been postponed.
(4)  Niagara Hohawk Power Corporation, along with other privately  owned  public  utilities,  experienced    difficulty in obtaining funds for construction at rates which were considered reasonable.        This lack of funds at reasonable  rates has caused the construction of the facility to    be delayed.
(5)  In. addition to the above, the following unanticipated causes  for delay  have occurred during the      construction periods 1 ~  Additional time is required      due to design changes,  such as  safety/relief valve piping relocation, required to mit;igate      'Hark  II containment dynamic loads.        This area is under Commission review, and      additional requirements
ii. Additional time is required              due to  intensive study of geological features and phenomena as  reported to the Commission in iHiagara Hohawk Power    Corporation's          letter  dated December 13, 1976.'ii.
Additional time is required              due to a.change
    ,from once-through to closed loop circulating water cooling.            This change. was reported to the Commission by          letter  dated July 19, 1976.
ivy  Additional time is required              due to complete redesign of. electrical        raceway systems and major  structural          changes  in the Reactor Building, Control Building,              and cable  tunnels to implement the Regulat'ory Guide 1.75 separation requirements.
: v. Additional time is required            due to  labor problems including work stoppages in              1976 and 1977.
vi. Additional    time        is required  due to shortage    of qualified welders,          and  material procurement delays, such as for the primary containment liner.
vii. Additional    time is required  due to a delay
      'in the granting of the original Construction Pewmit which was  not,reflected in the previously revised dates for earliest      and latest completion of the facility    (see Attachment 1).
viii. Additional time. is required to implement      iHRC requirements for" flood. protection of  ECCS pumps'x.
Additional time is requ-'red    due to the implementation 'of pipe whip protection require-ments    similar to those, expressed in Regulatory Guide 1.46 which impacted the schedule      for .
completion of pipe stress analysis and liner fabrication.
X ~  Additional time is required    due to the imposition of Regulatory Guide 1.89 requirements on Class IE Equipment Vendors which has resulted    in shortages of acceptable vendors.
(6)      Xn  Niagara Hohawk Power Corporation's opinion, the requested 'action involves no            significant    hazards consideration;            good cause has been shown      for the delay; and the extension of the latest completion date which has been requested            is for  a  reasonable period.
MiEREFORE,          Niagara Hohawk Power Corporation requests                that the latest date in Construction Permit                    No. CPPR-112 be ext'ended        until December        31,    19811.
Respectfully submitted, NIAGARA HOHAVK POWER CORPORATION'
