SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FOR CLEAN ENERGYS MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SUPPLEMENT BASIS OF CONTENTION REGARDING NEPA REQUIREMENT TO ADDRESS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE FUKUSHIMA TASK FORCE REPORT Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) hereby moves for leave to supplement the basis for its contention seeking consideration of the environmental implications of the Fukushima Task Force Report in the License Renewal decision for the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. SACE requests the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) to consider the recent issuance of a directive by the Commissioners of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to the NRC Staff, which requires the Staff to strive to complete and implement the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident within five years - by 2016. SRM/SECY-11-0124, Memorandum from R.W. Borchardt, Executive Director for Operations to Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary, re: Recommended Actions to be Taken Without Delay from the Near-Term Task Force Report (Oct. 18, 2011).1 SRM/SECY 0124 provides further support, in addition to the language of the Task Force Report itself and the Declaration of Dr. Arjun Makhijani, for SLOMFPs contention that the information set forth in the Task Force Report must be considered before the NRC issues an operating licensing for the Watts Bar Unit 2 nuclear power plant. By ordering the Staff to adopt and implement numerous 1
The SRM is posted on the NRCs website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/commission/srm/2011/2011-0124srm.pdf.
Task Force recommendations, including redefining what level of protection of public health and safety should be regarded as adequate, the Commission makes clear that it believes the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident have safety and environmental significance. See SRM/SECY-11-0124 at 2.
SACE notes that the issuance of SRM/SECY-11-0124 also undermines the basis for a recent licensing board decision finding that contentions similar to SACEs contention were premature because the Commission itself had not yet accepted or implemented the Task Force Reports conclusions and recommendations.
