Gentlemen:

Subject: Corcorate Information for Licenses

The Westinghouse Electric Corporation hereby submits current infor-mation applicable to the U. S. NRC Licenses listed at the end ofthis letter. These licenses have been issued by the USNRC to theCorporation. Corporate information was criginally sent to you ina letter addressed to Mr. R. W. Lowenstein, Assistant Directorof Regulations, dated April 3, 1964, and thereafter has been updatedapproximately annually. The last previous letter, dated September26, 1979, was transmitted jointly to Mr. C. V. Smith, Jr., and toMr. H. Denton.

The Westinghouse Electric Corporation is incorporated in the Com-monwealth of Pennsylvania, with principal offices located in thaWestinghouse Building, Gateway Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania15222.

Westinghouse is a publicly held corporation whose stock is tradedon principal securities exchanges. It is not owned, nor is there(to the best of our knowledge) an appreciable ownership of West-.nghouse stock, by an alien, foreign corporation or foreign govern-ment. No individual is known, from the records of the Corporation,to own one percent or more of its capital stock.

Attached is the annual report of the Corporation which gives thecurrent financial condition and lists the elected officers. Thefollowing section of this letter presents a description of corpora-tion technical qualification.

The Westinghouse Electric Corporation has broad experience inthe field of nuclear science and technology. The Corporation'sparticipation in the nuclear energy field dates from the discoveryof methods for the production of metallic uranium at Bloomfield,New Jersey, in the 1920's and construction of the first industrialVan de Graaf generator in Pittsburgh in 1937. Westinghouse fur-nished a portion of the refined metallic uranium used in the firstpile at Stagg Field, Chicago, early in the 1940's, at the begin-ning of the Manhattan District of the Corps of Engineers.

Westinghouse demonstrated the ability to execute complex programsleading to the practical application of nuclear energy with thesuccessful completion of the rcactor plant for the first nuclearpowered submarina, the U.S.S. NAUTILUS. In conjunction with thisproject, the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory was organized in 1948to furnish a research and development effort. This Laboratory,wn ch provides facilities for developing nuclear power plants fornaval and advanced civilian applications, is currently beingopurated by Westinghouse for the Department of Energy (DOE) .Westinghouse also executed the contract for the design and construc-tion of the nation's first large nuclear reactor plant for an elec-tric power generating station, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station.Other projects include a minimum of thirty-eight completed powerreactors including the nuclear power plant for the Yankee AtomicElectric Company, a 185 MWe, first-round demonstration, pressurizedwater reactor which has generated over twenty billion kilowatt-hours of electricity; the Saxton Reactor, a 23.5 MWe experimental-closed-cycle water reactor which provided valuable data and exper-ience in the use of plutonium recycle fuel in a pressurized waterreactor; the second-generation Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Co.plant, a 575 MWe pressurized water reactor which was the first ofthe large, economically competitive reactors; and the Zion 1nuclear plant, which is the first operational single-reactor gen-erating unit rated in excess of 1,000 MWe. These operatingreactors have a total generating capacity of approximately 25,425MWe. Currently, the Corporation is designing or building seventyadditional large reactor facilities, ranging in size from 350MWe to 1250 MWe, with a total generating capacity in excess of71,679. Also, the fabrication of replacement regions of fuel foroperating reactors is a significant activity.

Westinghouse announced phase one of a project to plan a new manu-facturing facility near Montgomery, Alabama to fabricate fuelassemblies for use in commercial nuclear power plants. Phase two ofthe project includes, subject to the receipt of all necessary local,state, and federal permits, the building of a plant on the 800acre site.

During March, 1979 Westinghouse designed Trojan plant generated arecord 801,451,000 Kwh net, with a capacity factor of 99.7 percentthe Trojan plant, a 1030 MWe 4-loop Westinghause PWR is located onthe Columbia River in Northern Oregon and is operated by the PortlandGeneral Electric Company.

The Corporation holds the contract to provide the project manage-ment, design, and test services for the Past Flux Test Facility,which will be used in the testing and evaluation of fuels andmaterials for DOE's Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR)program.

Westinghouse has been a leader in the development of nuclear pro-pulsion and auxiliary power equipment for space applications. Theformer Westinghouse Astronuclear Laboratory developed and fabricatednuclear reactors for the NERVA program and participated in thedevelopment of the SNAP-23A package and compact thermoelectric con-verters for the NRC. Various divisions of the Corporation havedemonstrated other major accomplishments in the nuclear energyfield. Westinghouse developed canned motor and controlled leakagepumps, currently being manufactured for a variety of nuclearfacilities, and it also manufactures many other non-nuclear compon-ents for reactor plants such as large heat exchangers, control roddrive mechanisms, valves, instrumentation and control equipment.

Westinghouse maintains a number of design and development groupsin the Pittsburgh area (over 3,600 engineers and scientists) thatcontribute to these accompliahments in the nuclear field. Thereis an accident prevention administrator and a medical servicesadministrator located at the Gateway Center Headquarters in Pitts-burgh. At another Westinghouse location near Pittsburgh, there isa headquarters industrial hygiene administrator whose engineeringand laboratory facilities are available to all locations. The head-quarters staff foi the Nuclear Energy Systems (NES) group includesa Director of Safety and Industrial Hygiene, who conducts specialprojects, drafts general policies, and provides coordination amongthe Industrial Hygiene supervisors at the various NES sites; amanager of License Administration for coordination of licensingactivities; and a Manager of Nuclear Materials Management and Safe-guards to provide guidance and advise on safeguarding specialnuclear materials. Each site performing nuclear activities has atleast one technically qualified, full-time supervisor, with addi-tional engineers and technicians as needed, in support of radiationprotection, industrial hygiene, and safety services. Full timescientists and engineers with extensive experience in nuclear designlend support to the various facilities by providing nuclear criti-cality safety analyses where special nuclear materials are used.Computer service is available for determining safety parametersin nuclear criticality safety analyses.

Facilities in the Pittsburgh area include a wide variety of opera-tions, ranging from research and development to pilot-plant scalemanufacturing, which require handling and processing many types ofradioactive materials ranging in quantity from a few microcuries upto megacuries.

Approximately 8700 employees are engaged in nuclear activities atthese facilities, which occupy about 3,060,000 square feet of

,

floor space. Additienal facilities at other geographical locationsinvolving approximately 6400 people and 1,800,000 square feet offloor space, greatly expand the Corporation's capabilities in thenuclear energy field.
