' Qi AIRCRAF* FLIGE" ?A""ZE'IS In ALL3-h86, the parties were ordered to "iden'df7... the rentine takeoff and landing flight patterns 'lat heavy aircraft
( AIA3-LS6, p. 7h). The Appeal Board established in would use a AIA3-h86 that the burden of producing this necessary infor=ation concerning aircraft flight patterns rested prinarily on ths Sta.ff s;d Applicant (AIA3-k86, p. 72). Subsequently, in an Crder dated Septe=ber 15, 1978, the Cc=issioners ordered the parties to obtai a hether, and if so, how often, the Three Mile Isla:d inf:=ation on v
(Cc issioners' Crder, September 15, 1978, part 2, site is overflevna
- p. 2). Ecuever, neither the Staff nor the Applicant has offer?l testine:7 which f""7 er openly discusses either of these issues.
The Intervencrs therafere nove that they be pe=itted at least partially to fill these voids in the evidentiary record by offaring testinen7 and affidavits w=ich address these issues. In particular, the Intervencrs r x;uest ped ssion to bring forward 'Aree individuals who, in the agg egate, have landed a total of nine tines at Harrisburg Internati nal Airport (1C1) via ce=eretal jet aircraft. Cf these nine arrivals (fre= Pittsburgh and Chicago), seven involved a r==va7 a:proach in which the aircraft flev crer the ""E site. These seven landi=gs occurred under gecd weather conditions and pres== ably 'de aircraft approaches vers nade under visual firing conditions.
W.

er, 790417 040 G-
Se i=dividuals preposed as witnesses are:
George 3ce=s=a, of Peach Ectte=, Fa.
Richard Hayden, of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Chauncey Iepford, of State Collega, Pa.
So Intervenors sub=it that, at least v12 regard to jets arriv1=g at HIl frem Pittsburgh and Chicago = der fair weather conditicus, over-flights of the CC site are a reutine and c cn occur ence. ?=ther-more, the Interve:crs sub=it that it is inec=ceivable that this i=fer=ation was =k=cvn to the Staff and Applicant.
Se witnesses for these parties who testified en this subject under oath, end their respective Ccussel, veuld have becc=e aware of this inf =ation as they atte=pted to respond to the orders of the Appeal Board and the
?
'ssics regar " ! the reopened evidentiary hearing en the air r aft i= pact issue, even ass ' g that they were not privy to this i=f =atic:
far earlier d=i=g the crigi=al evidentiary proceeding bef:re the Licensing 3 card. Le Intervencrs W_t + hat this infc=ation was therefore intentictally withheld a:d concealed frcs the appeal 3 card by +1ese parties.
'atile all of the flights abcut.hich de I=terve crs' cree witnesses are prepared to testify cecurred en "=n11' airersft, i.e., en jets of less than 200,0001ha., this testi=cny is r-J.evant to this proceed 1=g fer a =c=ber of reasons; ?irst, this testi=c q offered by the Interrescrs is the first testime=7 is this proceed 1=g that de=cnstrates the ecc=rence of overflights of the S!I site. Sis testi=cuy is inte=ded 'e be respcusive to the Order of the Cw
".ssioners referred to above, and vill suggest that overflights of the SC site are a reati=e and :-en event.
Secondly, this testi=c=7 vi'!.1 directly centradict d e i=pressien given by Applican+. '4Ltness 'Jright (prepared tasti===7, pp. 8 and 9) and Staff 'ditnesses 3 ers a d Coval (prepared testi=c=7, pp. 39 threngh h2).
7 Sese wit = esses for the Applicant and Staff stated in Seir prepared t4s*d 7 that over_ lights of Of!by the ki=ds of aircaft is which the I=terve: ors 8 three witnesses have flevn s1= ply do not occ=.
d.
3 Sird, as a result of this preposed testinc=7, the Intervencrs will suggest that ancther kind of accident==st new be censidered by the C.
'ssicn. Since the " design basis' accident involves a 200,000 lb.
aircraft traveling at 200 knots, a resulting kinetic ener;7 can be esiculated. Se possibli'* ty of an aircraf t weighing less than 200,0C0 lbs. and trava18 g at nore than 200 knots, such that the kinetic energ7 can eqtal or exceed that of the ' design basis a aircraft accident, nnst ncy also be censidered. The possibility of such accidents was not censidered in the.decisics *o license OC-2.
- he increased speeds necessar7 for such accidents to occur eculd result fren the aircraft's engines and/cr frca an acceleration due to gravity. Ccuse-quently, the f act that the OC site is located under a frequented aircraft glide path nandates that the aircraft crash probability rates previously caleclated by both the Staff and Applicant =nst be =cdified to reflect this new infer =ation.
.hrthernere, the existing reccrd shews only that the plcnt is said to be desic ed to withstand the design basis c: ash. No testbecy in support of this clah was presented before the Licensing Board. 3ather, as Staff Witness dead =d-* tted under cross-.srsn.'natien belov, there has been no qualification testing in this country since the end of Yorld War 2 of the ability of steel-reinfereed concrete structures to withstand aircraft inpact (tr. 62h-5, 631). As a result, no censure of certaint7 can be attached to the allegad ability of OC-2 to withstand even a " design basis" crash.
In additics, with regard to the questica of everflights of the "2C site b7 heavy aircraft, the attached affidavits of Drs. Judith H.
Johnsred. and Chaunce7 Iepford reveal that at least one TransWorld Airline (74A) pilot and another 7.!A e=plcye, a flight engineer, have on separate cecasiens f1cun over the OC -ite en a landing approach to ru=va7 31 of EIA. Furthermore, as the affidavit of Dr. Job-e ed de=cnstrates, to pilot openly stated that he had everflown the OE site while ' =-d* *C at EIA in Boeing 7h7's, the largest ec=nercial air 1Lners in the verld.
'Jeither the Staff nor the Applicant vers v'"* g to ack=culedge that these ener=cus aircraft have ever landed at EIA, let alene that the7 Py, c' 1h

have l=ded by fl7ing over the M site.
The asteni "d
g ease with which these tm individuals frc Til vers located by the htervencrs, and the strd'*: ad arity of their e:-
periences, suggests that, as dth the s= aller jets, the overfw--i:3 of the M site by the larger tha: desig: basis aircrsft is not at all as t=c m event at RIA. Again, it see=s inec=ceivable that this infor=atic: vas urJctev: to both Staff and Applicant 'dit=essus and Cou=sel.
'Tevertheless, the Eterve:crs have been unsuccessful, is the short time provided, is identL*71 g a=7 e=ploye of Tu who veuld be vd"* c to testify before tM.s Board. ":he t.co 7dA e=playes v=o are the subjects of the affidavits were =v4" d g to testify due to fear of loss of their jobs.
3crever, the Eterve= ors sch=1t that, ec=trary to the precared testinen7 of the Staff and Applicant vit= esses, henry aircaft over-f'd 6ts of the 5 site do oce=, as the at : ached affidavits 1: dica'a.
htervencer therefore request that the Appeal 3 card d-d tiate an i=vestigatic: into the over_ight quest' as by requirdrg S'aff C~wel Scisto to =ake gacd his offer 'a subpoena all 74A pilots who have landed at HIA vi.t heavier tha: design basis aircraft (tr.
- ).
?:rther=or s, the hterve=crs specifically r quest that the Appeal Board declare and a==hasise at the cutset of this everf_ight investiga-tic: that no such 74A vitnesses =ay be questic=ed for purposes of dated ad ? vtich of the: have previously spoke: to representatives of the hterv-m rs, is order to preserve the ecnfidentiality of such ec=versatic=s and the jcb security of such persons.
- As of this writing (Dececher 26,1978), the hterve= ors have not yet received a trs: script of the Dece==er 11 a:d 12, 1078, Appeal 3 card heari gs. Therefers, the Eter7e=crs are =able to incl:de is this =ctic: exact trs script page citatic=s er an analysis of the ec= duct of the 5tif a:d Applicant vit= esses = der cross.
- ' m tic c= these issues.
niD L1 D0(3 2*
s De hterveners father request that this Sca:-1, on :.ts own notion, investigate fully what appears to be a na:Sive and eccrdinated atta=pt en the part of both the Applicant and Staff to withhold and conceal Tital infor=ation frem this Soard. 2:is information, concerning the apparent reutine overflights of the EE site by both snall and large ec==ercial jet aircraft, htervencrs reiterate, =ust have been '.cown at least to Staff 'iitnesses 3 ers and Ccval. 37 the very nature of their e=plc7-7 nent it see=s highly i= probable that these individnals would be iperant of the e:istence of these apparently routi.no overflights of the CC site (See prepared testi=cI:7 of Head, et al., pp. 31-33, hl-h2).
