- 1. San Onofre Unit 2 - The NRC issued an operating' license on February 16, 1982. It was restricted to 5% power in accordance with the ASLB deci sion. Fuel loading has been completed. The' unit is expected to be ready for operation above 5% power in June. Authorization of full power operation is currently projected for June 1982, pending a favorable ,
Board decision. The NRC staff's review effort is complete and, therefore, no delay is shown for this u. nit.
- 2. Diablo Canyon Unit 1 - On March 4,1982 the Commission approved the plan for Phase I of the independent design verification program with certain modifications. Phase I is required to be completec cefore fuel loading can be recommended. On March 19,1982 :ne staff accepted Teledyne Engineering Services as the manager for the program. An audit of the quality assurance program, including implementation, of PG&E and of seismic service-related contractors, has 'been completed by R. F. Reecy as a Teledyne subcontractor. Questionable areas were observed. The s aff is determining if the scope of the Phase I' program is sufficient. The decision will be made shortly.
- 2. Summer Unit 1 - Based upon information from the applicant, the projected construction completion date for the facility is currently May 1982.
Assuming a favorable Boarc decision, an operating li:ense rest.-ictec to St power is scheduled to be issued in May, foliewing tne ASL3 initial decision.
