LICENSEE'S RESPONSE TO MOTION TO AMEND CONTENTIONS On March ll, 1980, Mark Oncavage (Intervenor) moved to amend Contention 1 to include a Contention 1B. Contention 1 asserts that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prcparcd prior to the issuance of operating license amen4~onts .
authorizing the repair of the steam generators of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. The Intervenor's proposed Contention 1B states:
The application of Florida Power and Light for an amendment to its facility operating license involves a material alteration of a licensed facility which requires a con-struction permit to issue prior to the issuance of the amendment, which in turn requires the preparation of an environmental impact statement.
The Licensee respectfully submits that this motion should be denied.
Although the proposed motion refers to the requirement for a construction permit, the language of, the motion seems to indicate that the only relief requested is the preparation of an EIS- The Intervenor proposes to amend Contention 1, which is solely related to the preparation of an EIS, rather
than to add an independent contention, and states that the instant motion simply presents "grounds different" from those earlier asserted concerning the need for an EIS. (Motion, p. 3)
At the time the Intervenor filed his motion, he may not have been aware of several events which have rendered 'moot the contention that the preparation of an EIS is required. On March 4, 1980, the Commission issued an order which required the NRC Staff to prepare an EIS for the steam generator repairs 1/
for Surry Unit 1. In a letter dated March 6, 1980, to which the motion does not refer, the NRC Staff informed this Board that it intends to prepare an EIS for the Turkey Point repairs.
Since the Staff's action provides the relief requested by Contention 1 and proposed Contention 1B, they are both moot.

Consequently, the instant motion should be denied.
The foregoing should dispose of the motion. However, the proposed contention states that there is here involved "a material alteration of a licensed facility which requires a construction permit to issue . . . ." As we demonstrate below, if the motion is read as suggesting that a construction permit is required to make the steam generator repairs, it is 1/ Vir inia Electric and Power Com an (Surry Nuclear Power Station, Units (March 4, 1980).

a late filing which lacks good, cause. Therefore the merits need not be addressed. However, the statement seems to be based on so significant a misreading of the regulations as to justify some comment.
The motion states:
If an application for an amendment to a license involves a material alteration to a licensed facility, a construction permit will be issued prior to the issuance of the amendment to the licensee. 10 C.F.R.
g50.91. Alteration, as used in that regulation, means a change in a technical specification or a change which involves an unreviewed safety question.
(Motion, p. 5)
This is incorrect. Without referring to 10 CFR 5 50.59, the statement confuses that section with the material 1/
alteration section, 10 CFR 5 50.91. Section 50.59 permits the holder of an operating license, among other things, to make 1/ The motion also confuses "unreviewed safety question" with another term, "unresolved safety issue."
See Motion, p. 6. "Unresolved safety issues" are defined as those generic safety issues whose safety significance in individual plants is such that the issue does not prohibit continued operation or licen-sing actions while the Commission's generic review is progressing. "NRC Program for the Resolution of Generic Issues Related to Nuclear Power Plants,"
January 1978, NUREG-040, p. viii; "Identification to Nuclear of Unresolved Safety, Issues Relating Power Plants," January 1979, NUREG-0510, p. 4. The Commis-sion is required to develop a plan to implement cor-rective measures for unresolved safety issues and to submit this plan to Congress pursuant to Section 210 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5 5851. If the Intervenor is suggesting that an unresolved safety issue is equivalent to a material alteration, we are aware of no basis for support of such a novel proposition, and the Inter-venor has offered no evidence of his own.
0 changes in the facility without authorization from the NRC, but requires that an application for an operating license amend-ment be made if what is proposed involves either "an unreviewed safety question," as defined in the regulation, or a change in technical specifications. Most operating license amendments are issued only because a change in technical specifications or an unreviewed safety question is involved. Nothing in section 50.59, 59.91, in Commission practice or in precedent supports the implication that every change involving an unre-viewed safety question or a change in technical specifica-tions is also a material alteration which requires the issu-1/
ance of a construction permit. In fact, the Commission has consistently issued license amendments for changes in facilities which involved unreviewed safety questions without requiring a construction permit under 5 50.91. Even though amendments may involve extensive repairs, changes or additions, only on the rarest occasions has the Commission considered a "material alteration" to be involved. See The motion (pp. 3, 6) refers to 38 Fed. Reg. 22796 (1973) and 39 Fed. Reg. 10554 (1974) in this context. Neither of these notices defines or interprets "material altera-tion"; they merely state that under g 50.59 a change in a facility which involves an unreviewed safety question requires the issuance of an amendment, pursuant to 5 50.90. The Intervenor's reliance upon these Federal Register notices is wholly misplaced.

.In fact, we have been able to discover only two cases in which an. applicant for an amendment was required to seek a construction permit because a material alteration within the meaning of g 50.91 was found to be involved., The first case, referred to in the ~Tro'an decision, involved an appli-cation by the University of Maryland for authorization to replace its Allis-Chalmers control rods, n their drive meeha-nism, the control room panels, and instrumentation with those of a Triga design. This "change essentially rendered major portions of the original safety analysis for the facility inapplicable to the modified facility." 6 NRC at 1183. The second involved a request by Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) to expand the capacity of its fuel reprocessing plant at Nest Valley from 300 MTU/year to 750 MTU/year, i.e., by 2 1/2 1 / In ~Tro an, the Licensing Board held that'odif'ication of a spent fuel pool did not constitute a material alteration of a facility.

would "result in a substantially different facility," and "the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) wh'ch served as the basis for the initial license and the technical specifica-tions . . . would, for all practical purposes, no longer 2/
be suitable."
Xf the steam generator repairs are compared to these two modifications, little similarity can be found. The E
repairs will not result in a "substantially different facil-ity," nor will they significantly alter the design of the plant or render "major portions of the original safety analy-sis for the facility inapplicable to the modified facility."
The steam generator repairs are essentially major maintenance operations which do not constitute the type of substantial alteration which was present in both the NFS and University of Haryland cases. Basically, the repairs entail replacement of defective parts with new parts of a similar design. To the extent that the repaired steam generators will utilize a slightly different design, this design change will have 1/ 38 Fed.

Directly in point is the holding in Vir inia Electric and Power Co. (Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2), DD-79-19, 10 NRC 625, 654-661 (1979). The petitioners in that case argued inter alia that the amendment authorizing the Surry steam generator repairs was issued in violation of NRC regu-lations, because the repairs constituted a material alteration of a facility under 5 50.91 for which no construction permit was obtained. The Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation rejected this contention and explicitly held that the steam generator repairs were not a material alteration. The Com-mission has declined to review this aspect of the Director's decision. CLI-80-4, ll NRC , slip op. p. 2 (March 4, 1980).
There is, moreover, doubt. as to the Board's jurisdiction to consider a contention which requests that a construction permit be obtained pursuant to 5 50.91. It is the function of the NRC Staff to review an application and determine whether it is acceptable for docketing. 10 CFR 5 2.101.
If the application is acceptable, a notice of hearing or of proposed action will be issued by the Commission. 10 CFR gg 2.104 and 2.105. It is this notice which designates 1/ See SGRR 5 5.1; SER 55 3.3 and 3.4.1.

Reg. 62569 (1977).
Although we believe it might be helpful to attempt to clarify the misconceptions evidenced by the motion, we do not believe it, necessary for the Board to address the issue.
Even if the motion is interpreted as requesting that the construction permit be made a contention and we 1

Essentially, the Intervenor has attempted to justify his 1/ See notice in Nuclear Fuel Services Inc. (West Valley 2/ At several places during the Intervenor's discussion of the "Subject Matter of the Proposed Amendments to the Contentions," the Intervenor refers to testimony or evidence which he intends to introduce in a hearing on the repairs. This evidence is irrelevant to good cause for the late filing and to the material alteration question.
tardiness on the grounds that the Licensee's responses to the Intervenor's interrogatories has provided him with new information upon which to base his proposed contention.
(Motion, p. 2) However, the Intervenor only cites the responses to five interrogatories, none of which are at all relevant to a showing of good cause.
The Intervenor first references the answers to Inter-rogatories 1-7 and 1-8, which state that SGRR 5 2.2 contains FPL's basis for concluding that the repaired steam generators will not undergo degradation. Since the Intervenor had access to the SGRR when he first filed his contentions, these responses can hardly be termed "new information" suf-ficient for a showing of good cause. Moreover, the responses provided no new information regarding the design of the repaired steam generators. At a minimum, a "material altera-tion" requires a change in facility design. Since the responses did not alter the design specifications in the SGRR, they cannot be utilized to establish good cause for an untimely contention regarding a material alteration of a facility.
The Intervenor also references the answers to Interroga-tories 6-11, 6-21, and 6-35. However, all of these interroga-tories pertain to the steam generator storage building. Since the Intervenor has been aware of the plans to build a storage building since the beginning of this proceeding, he cannot claim that its construction is "new information" sufficient to constitute good cause for this untimely motion.
10 In short, the Intervenor has relied upon the responses to his interrogatories as his "good cause" for the late filing, but has not shown why he was incapable of raising this same contention with his previous filings. In the absence of a demonstration of inability to have proffered this contention in a timely fashion, the Intervenor has not established good cause.
Accordingly, the Licensee requests that the Board deny the Intervenor's motion as moot. In the alternative, it should be denied because the proposed contention is late filed without good cause.
