Orange County, No*
Pet V.
Nuclear Regulatory United States of Ar Rec.
And Consolidated Case No. 01-1246 Petitions for Review of Orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Before: EDWARDS and ROGERS, CircuitJudges,and WILUAMS, Senior CircuitJudge JUDGMENT These causes were considered on petitions for review of orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and were briefed and argued by counsel. It is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the petitions for review are hereby denied.
In an administrative proceeding, Orange County presented arguments that the NRC's environmental assessment of a proposed storage expansion of a nuclear reactor was inadequate. After comparing risk calculations offered by the petitioner, the agency's staff, and the applicant facility, the NRC upheld the finding that the chances of an accident were too remote to trigger a full evidentiary hearing on the issue. See In re Carolina Power
& Liqht Company, 53 NRC 370 (2001). Once the agency determined that the expansion posed no significant safety hazards, the NRC granted the license amendment for the expansion. In re Carolina Power & Light Company, 53 NRC 113 (2001). Finding no error in NRC's determinations, the court hereby denies the petitions for review primarily for the reasons stated in the agency's orders.
