TO ALL APPLICANTS FOR OPERATING LICENSES AND CONSTRUCTION PERMIT HOLDERS
In the process of establishing priorities for the licensing reviews of
operating license applications, we rely principally on the best estimates of
the construction completion date of utilities. In most cases, this date will
be confirmed or modified by our Caseload Forecast Panel which usually visits
a specific plant site no more than once a year. Because of a number of
recent slippages in applicants' construction completion schedules, we
believe it is appropriate at this time to request up-to-date schedules from
all applicants. Accordingly, we are requesting you to advise us of your
present best estimate of the construction completion date for your facility
(facilities) and fuel load target date so that we may establish our
licensing priorities based on the latest available data. For your
information, I have enclosed a listing provided to the House Appropriations
Subcommittee of target schedules for those plants seeking operating licenses
in the next three years. Those applicants not listed in the enclosure should
provide the date they plan to tender their Operating License Application
(FSAR and ER) to the NRC.
Upon receipt of your response, we anticipate a potential revision to our
present licensing review priorities. Note that the order of our priorities
is somewhat influenced by a hearing which is required for some of the OL
applications. Inasmuch as we are still limited in our casework by our
manpower resources, we request that your response be as up-to-date as
possible.
Please provide your response within thirty days of receipt of this letter.
Sincerely,
Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director
Division Licensing
