DOCKETED USHRC UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2002 MAR 25 PM 1: 16 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION hUu,,NAIN*GS AND BEFORE THE COMMISSION ADJUDICATIONS STAFF In the Matter of Docket No's. 50-369-LR, 50-370-LR, 50-413-LR, and 50-414-LR DUKE ENERGY CORPORATION ASLBP No. 02-794-01-LR (McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2) March 12, 2002 NUCLEAR INFORMATION AND RESOURCE SERVICE REPLY BRIEF REGARDING ADMISSIBILITY OF NEPA ISSUES RELATING TO TERRORISM AND SABOTAGE Pursuant to Memorandum and Order CLI-02-05 (February 6, 2002), Nuclear Information and Resource Service ("NIRS") hereby replies to the briefs filed by Duke Energy Corporation ("Duke") and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC" or "Commission") Staff.' This brief also replies to the amicus brief filed by the Nuclear Energy Institute. 2 Word for word, the legal arguments in Duke's and the NRC Staff's briefs are virtually identical to the briefs filed by Dominion Nuclear Connecticut ("DNC") and the Staff in response to CLI-02-05 in the Millstone case. See Brief of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. In Response to Commission Memorandum and Order CLI-02-05 (February 27, 2002); NRC Staff's Brief in Response to CLI-02-05 (February 27, 2002).
1 See Brief of Duke Energy Corporation in Response to the Commission's Memorandum and Order CLI-02-06 (February 27, 2002) ("Duke Brief'); NRC Staff Brief in Response to CLI-02-06 (February 27, 2002) ("NRC Staff Brief').
2 See Amicus Brief of Nuclear Energy Institute in Response to the Commission's Memorandum and Orders Dated February 6, 2002, Regarding the Commission's Consideration of Potential Intentional Malevolent Acts (February 27, 2002) ("NEI Brief').
- 1
NEI filed a single brief in both cases. See Amicus Brief of Nuclear Energy Institute in Response to the Commission's Memorandum and Orders Dated February 6, 2002, Regarding the Commission's Consideration of Potential Intentional Malevolent Acts (February 27, 2002) ("NEI Brief').
Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone and Long Island Coalition Against Millstone ("CCAM/CAM") have prepared a detailed reply to these legal arguments, on which NIRS relies. See Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone And Long Island Coalition Reply Brief Regarding NEPA Requirement To Admit Contention Regarding Environmental Impacts Of Destructive Acts Of Malice And Insanity March 12, 2002)
("CCAM/CAM Reply Brief'). Rather than repeating those arguments, NIRS refers the Commission to the CCAM/CAM Reply Brief.
There is one area in which the briefs filed by Duke and the NRC Staff contain additional arguments relevant to this case only. Their arguments address the question of whether NIRS's environmental contention raising the risk of terrorism or sabotage in a nuclear power plant license renewal case is barred by the notice of hearing, or subject to some extra procedural requirements under 10 C.F.R. § 2.758. See Duke Brief at 23-30, NRC Staff Brief at 19-20, 24-26. The arguments made by Duke and the NRC Staff reprise elements of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's ("ASLB's") decision in LBP-02-04. In its initial brief, NIRS has already demonstrated that the ASLB's decision on these issues was clearly erroneous. Duke and the Staff have added nothing new to the ASLB's decision that would warrant further attention.
In the course of this briefing, Duke and the NRC Staff have completely failed to demonstrate that the ASLB had any legal or factual basis for refusing to admit the greater
portion of NIRS's contention seeking an EIS on the impacts of sabotage and terrorist attacks on the McGuire and Catawba plants. The contention should be remanded for litigation of all its terms.
