v.
'b
,I would like to eetition for leave to inter rene at the oublic hearing to be conducted by an Atomic Safety and Licensin~ Board to de~ermine whether construct'on oemi~s should be issued to Arizona Public Service Com )any ~
I would 3.ike to subm t the following questions:
'1)
+esti~n vis-a-,vis ECCS testing.
The AEC is oroceeding with an elaborate seri s of t sts which are scheduled to cl max
~ +h actual.
ECCS tests in a small reactor beginning in 1976.
'lould it not be or Rent to wait for She'esults of hese tests before the commencement of the construotion of the nuclear oorrer slants in Arizona7 (2}
- Cry does the A.C ignore hazard ;rarnings from its o'rn contractors' Carl Hocevar, one of the
.HAEC's leading safe.y experts, qu't his job on Seat.
22 to ell the 'merican aeoole 'that he believ s to oe the tru".h about nuclear oowerolants..'~ir.
Hocevar believes the U.S. should stoa the building of nuclear oo;rerzlants in vie;r of the grave unsolved quest'ons about their safety.
( ) I would like to question reactor safety for the'following reasons:
(a} Reoorts from oeool.e who are considered to be safe4y exoerts, rrho soeak out against nuclear reactor safety.
(b)
A recently released secret AEC study claimed that reactor incidentq (350 abnormal Occurrences) w re concomit,ant with the fact tnat m ny of t.hem had real safety signif-
- icance,
<rere generic in nature, and were not identified during the normal design, fabrication, erection, and oreooerational tes-.ing oh~ ases, From this reoort I question the current review and in-soection oractices both on the oart of the nuclear
.industry and the
.XEC.
I would like to question these oractices vis-a-vis the nuclear powerolants that are olanhed for.irizona.
