Chackes and Hoare 314 North Broadway St. Louis, Missouri 63102 In the Matter of Union Electric Company (Callaway Plants (Inits 1 & 2)
Docket Nos. STN 50-483 and 50-486
Dear Mr. Chackes:
In reply to your inquiry of November 28, 1979, I am writing to clarify for you the Comission's two separate licensing procedures prescribed in the Atomic Energy Act (42 U.S.C. 52911 el sea.).
Contrary to your understanding, the ooerating license proceeding is not a continuat on of the construction permit proceeding.
Sections 185,103 and i
189 of the Act describe the two licenses and licensing actions required. The construction nermit proceeding entails a mandatory hearing and is a final agency action subject to judicial review. The construction permit is defined as a license undc.- the Act.
The operating license proceeding concerns a different license necessary for plant ooeration. Th.us, a notice of occortunity for hearing is oublished after an operating license application is docketed. This notice allows interested persons to request a hearing and petition to intervene to address issues con-cerning the coerating license under consideration.
In short, the construction pemit hearings and operating license hearings are separate proceedings, addressinc' different subjects and different licenses. *]
I trust this adequately responds to your question.
If not, please so advise me.
I have requested that a cooy of the Notice be sent to you when issued.
Sincerely,
___~,
Colleen P. Woodhead Counsel for NRC Staff 3
