UNOPPOSED MOTION OF DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., ("DNC") respectfully moves, pursuant to 28 U.S.C
§ 2348 and F.R.A.P 15(d), for leave to intervene in the above-entitled action. Although DNC is already named as a Respondent in the County of Suffolk's Petition for Review, 28 U.S.C. § 2344 and F.R.A.P. 1 5(a)(2)(B) suggest that the action is against the United States and Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Accordingly, Dominion files this motion to ensure its ability to participate as an intervenor-respondent in this action.
In support of this motion, DNC states the following:
- 1.
Petitioner County of Suffolk ("Suffolk") is seeking review of a Memorandum and Order of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") that denied a late request by Suffolk to intervene in an NRC proceeding concerning DNC's application to renew the operating licenses for the Millstone Power Station, Units 2 and 3.
- 2.
DNC is the NRC-licensed operator of the Millstone Power Station, the sole owner of Unit 2, and the majority owner of Unit 3. Suffolk's challenge to the NRC's Memorandum and 400292613vi
Order directly affects these units. Thus, DNC has a substantial, direct and tangible interest in the ultimate resolution' of this proceeding. As the applicant for the renewed operating licenses, DNC was a party to the proceeding before the NRC. Although the NRC is a Respondent with respect to Suffolk's petition for review, DNC has a separate interest apart for the regulatory interests of the NRC. It is therefore submitted that DNC is entitled to intervene in this proceeding.
- 3.
Counsel for the NRC and Counsel for Suffolk have authorized DNC to state that their clients do not oppose DNC's intervention in this matter.
Wherefore, DNC requests that it be granted leave to intervene as a party respondent in the above captioned proceeding.
