SUMMARY
OF SITE VISIT BY CASELOAD FORECAST PANEL On March 16-19, 1982, the Caseload Forecast Panel conducted a visit of the Palo Verde plant site to assess construction progress for each of the three units.
(A previous visit was conducted in October 1980 for Unit 1 only.)
The visit initially included a presentation of construction status by the applicant (the Agenda is shown in Enclosure
- 1) on the morning of March. 16.
The attendees for that presentation are listed in Enclosure 2.
An exit interview was conducted on the morning of March 19 following a tour of the
'construction site the previous days.
The attendees for that meeting are listed in Enclosure 3.
A sumary of the Panel visit is presented below.
~Summar The applicant made a presentation on the status of construction for all three units.
The presentation covered each of the Agenda items shown in Enclosure l.
At the meeting, the applicant continued to project fuel load dates of November
- 1982, November 1983 and November 1985 for Units 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
However, the applicant stated that it was in the process of reassessing its schedule to integrate the construction activities and the testing and startup phases into an overall schedule.
The applicant expected to complete this assessment in a few weeks.
After the presentation, we toured the facilities for each of the units.
As a result of the presentation and the tour, we learned the following:
Unit 1
As of February 1982, overall construction was about 96Ã complete.
Cable installation was about 95% complete, while terminations were about 79%
complete.
Construction activities were still in progress in the control room.
Of the 563 subsystems in the plant, 218 had been transferred from construction to prerequisite testing.
Only one of the systems had been released to startup (for preoperational testing).
The total number of procedures required for fuel load are 614 (includes 268 preoperational tests).
Of these, 198 were approved for use, 287 were prepared and in the review cycle, 65 were in preparation, and preparation of the remaining 64 was not yet started.
Only one of the 268 preoperational tests had been completed.

Meeting Summary Dist.
See attached The startup test group was still staffing up and was at the 79K level.
(The same group will be used for star tup testing of Units 2 and 3).
Units 2 and 3
As of February 1982, overall construction was about 805 and 35K complete for Units 2 and 3, respectively.
The construction phase for each of the two units (2 and 3) was approximately on schedule (ahead in some areas and behind in others).
Since the same startup group will be used on all three units, and the first two units are scheduled a year apart, any delay in Unit 1 preoperational testing would also affect the schedule for Unit 2.
Exit Interview At the exit interview, we informed the applicant that we would made an assessment of the status of construction afte~ returning to Bethesda and then present the results to NRR management.
We would then inform the app'Iicant of our findings.
Subse uent Actions After returning to Bethesda, we performed an assessment of the status of construc-tion and informed NRR management of our findings.
Based on this assessment, we concluded that the fuel load dates for Units 1 and 2 would be later than the applicant's projected dates.
This conclusion was based primari'1y on the status of the preoperational test program which normally has taken about two years to complete on other plants.
For Unit 3, we concur with the applicant's projected fuel load date.
Upon completion of our assessment, we verbally informed the applicant of our findings.
On April 22, 1982, the President of APS announced at the stockholders annual meeting that the schedule for Unit 1 will slip by a few months.
He added that the precise length of the slip would not be known until an in-depth review is completed in July 1982.
Current NRR policy provides for a management meeting between NRR and an applicant when there is a difference between the applicant's and the staff's projected fuel load date, in order to get a better understanding of the jlifference.
In keeping with this policy, and in light of the recently announced slip in the Unit 1 fuel load date by the applicant, a management meeting of this type will be arranged.
