With the foregoing corrections made for the February issuance of the
-l report, we would now like to start the procedure described in Sect on i
4 of the "yellowbook." We, therefore, request that we set a meeting date sometime the week of March 13, 1978 (or as soon as possible there-after) here in Arizona to establish a correct network for this project, correct node dates for that network and set-up the reporting routine to be followed for the remainder of the project.
Please advise us as soon as posrible of a convenient date for a meeting.
We appreciate your cooperation in bringing this report up to date for the remainder of the project.
Very truly y,ours, 1

Palo Verde, Units 1, 2, and 3
SUBJECT:
SlM4ARY OF CASELOAD FORECAST PANEL MEETING AND SITE VISIT A meeting was held on April 25, 26, 1979 in Phoenix, Arizona with the applicant to discuss the status cf construction for the facility. A tour of the site was made on the afternc,on of April 25, 1979 to witness the status of construction. The agenda for the meeting is shown on and the meeting attendees are listed in Enclosure 2.
The meating is summarized as follows.
i Sumary The applicant presented a brief overview of the project history, site layout, organization of utility management, plant operations crew and startup crew. Bechtel, the architect-engineer and constructor, presented a brief sumary of its organization in support of the facility.
The applicant also briefly discussed financial considerations and licensing milestones.
The applicant made a more detailed presentation on the project schedule. For Unit 1, the current status of engineering is that specification awards are about 95 percent complete and drawings are about 92 percent complete.
Procurement status is that 54 percent of both piping and valves for Unit 1 have been deliveed. Overall percent completion of Unit 1 construction is estimated at 37 percot. The critical construction activities are (1) the availability of construction personnel (pipe fitter welders and electricians), (2) receipt of Class 1E electrical components, and (3) receipt of pipe hangers.
The preoperational testing program was also discussed.
Currently a detailcd testing schedule is in preparation and is expected to be ready by August 1979. The first system will be ready to be turned over for testing in November 1980. The testing schedule being developed will be based on a three shift operation in order to meet the applicant's projected fuel load oate of November 1981 for Unit 1.

. ggy 14 jg79 At the exit interview held on April 26, 1979, we presented our current assessment of the fuel load date fer Unit 1.
Based on the status and pace of construction, and comparing these aspects with those of similar facilities which have been or are being constructed, we projected that the most likely date for Unit 1 fuel loading is December 1982.
We informed the applicant that we use our projected fuel load dates to (1) determine future manpower requirements, (2) determine when our review of an OL application should start, and (3) establish schedules and priorities for the review of OL applications.
Our current practice is to start an OL review about 2 to 3 years before our projected fuel load date. Therefore, the applicant's plans for submittal of an OL application about the end of 1979 are compatible with this practice.
We informed the applicant that OL review schedules are not established until after an application has been accepted for review.
In this regard we requested that, at the time the applicant submits its application for an OL, the applicant provide us with updated status information in the areas of procurement, construction and scheduling of preoperational testing. We will use this updated information to reassess our projected fuel load date for Unit 1 and thus assure that the schedule we develop will be compatible with this ~date. The applicant agreed to provide the requested information at that time.
