ANSWER OF DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC.
TO MOTION OF CONNECTICUT COALITION AGAINST MILLSTONE FOR RECONSIDERATION OF CLI-03-14 On November 3, 2003, the Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone ("CCAM")
filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("Commission") a "Motion for Reconsideration" of the Commission's recent decision in this matter, CLI-03-14.1 It is well established that reconsideration petitions must establish an error in a Commission decision, based on an elaboration or refinement of an argument already made, an overlooked controlling decision or principle of law, or a factual clarification. See, e.g., Dominion Nuclear Conn., Inc. (Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 & 3), CLI-02-1, 55 NRC 1, 2 (2002); Central Elec. Pover Coop.
(Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1), CLI-81-26, 14 NRC 787, 790 (1981). Petitions for reconsideration "should not be used merely to 're-argue matters that the Commission already
[has] considered' but rejected." Millstone, CLI-02-1, 55 NRC at 2; citing Advanced Medical Systems, Inc. (One Factory Row, Geneva, Ohio 44041), CLI-93-24,38 NRC 187, 188 (1993).
See Dominion Nuclear Conn., Inc. (Millstone Power Station, Unit 2), CLI-03-14, 58 NRC _ (slip op. Oct. 23, 2003).

s E c 1
Contrary to these longstanding precedents, CCAM has not pointed to any factual or legal error in CLI-03-14, and merely restates, without "elaboration or refinement," the conclusory and meritless arguments that it has previously made before both the Commission and the Licensing Board in this proceeding. Such arguments do not merit reconsideration under 10 C.F.R. § 2.771.
