F'DGaliECM AND C'?IER Pmding before us is a petiticn to interv=c subcitted en bialf of the Ereirc= ental Coaliticn en Nu' lear Pcwer ("ECTP"). The petitica is c
undated but was dccketed in de Office of de Secreta:/ of the Carissicn cn August 25, 1976. This filing ccm icng after the criginally prescribec period for de stScissicn of petiticns to interiene. Ecweve, de "subst=tial shcxeing of goed cause" for the late filing is e:gressly stated to derive fran tm fairly recent decisicas of the U. S. Ccurt of Appeals for the District of Colt =bia Circuit, Naticnal Rescu ces Defe.se Ccuncil,
_et _al. v. SRC Nos~. 74-1385 and 74-1586, and Aes :-li un, et _al. v. NFr, Nos. 73-1776 and 73-1867--

,,e accept tn.at as a suct' c:.ent statmt of pet' tiener s possessicns.n
.s interest in this proceeding.
Le cententiens scught to be asserted are 1.ct lirited to the entters 2/
dealt wi d in ei der of de referenced court decisicns-To the extent that this is so, it seers to us that neider of these decisiens can reascr. ably be viewed as prcviding "gced c=se" for de fail're to file cn ti=e.
Upcn a careful reading cf de petiticn, we are of de view dat cnly r.m of the EC2 assertiens raise issues dat are pertinent for censideratica as a result of Naticnal Resctrees Defe.se Cct.cil, stora cr AescM".:n, strra.
The first of dese is the cententica n'rl:ered 5 in the petitica. Aeschli= n, stora, i. sofar as is pe.~.nent here, holds dat de possibility of energy conservation :nst be censidered by the carmsicn as en alternative to de ccnstructicn cf a nuclear power reacecr. k'e read centencien nud er 5 as 3/
raising that issue in a particular =nnerT S is cententic1 states:
"The petiticners centend dat de race serrre of the Appliccat is a prcticticnal rate strucere desig ed to increase the constn=ticn of electricir/ by offering
-2/ For e.u.;1e, in ti.a parag aph nt:5ered 2, the petiriceer a' gms that "the cost-benefit analysis of de Acoliccnt and the Granissicn is faulty because the reci.picnts of d ' costs' and ' benefits' have nct e
been prcperly identified."
-3/ Energy censercarica as an alternative to the proposed plant sas nct ccaside ed by the Staff in either its Final Envirc= ental Stater.c.c cr its Draft Strplerent to the Final Endc=r.tal Statcmnt. These were the cn]y envircerental scaranents dat had been ptclished by de Staff at the ti n this petiticn was filed.

. dcclining rates for increased censurotien.
Such a rate strucere mini-ires the possibility and practicality of
- urthhile energy ecnservaticn efforts. Petiticners centend that a flat rate strucere -- cne price fcr all levels of censumotien for all custccers -- cr a declinir; block rate strucere *ruld take conservaticn a viable and practicable alterative to Dree Mile Island, Uni II."
We find dere to be " substantial gcod cause" for the late filing of dis cententica, and it is hereby accepted as. n issue in ccnccversy in chis proceeding Next, petiticners c=cend tat "due to de above inresolved issues r
regarding catolicnce with Secticn 102 of ::.c l.tional Envircerental Policy Act by de Cc r,ssicn, de xtructicn pe=it for 2:ee Mile Island, Uait II shculd be rescinded imdiately, and constructice halted pendirg re.n:rpticn of pu~ lic hearings and resoluticn of these catters."
o Wr. construe de gated Lr.guage as centending that ccnst v.ctica activities
- nder the Ihree Mile Island Unit 2 ccnstructica pe=it shculd be suspended pending re alutica of de reprocessing and mste dispcsal issues raised by Natural Rescurces Defense Ccuncil, suora.
In cur view, this catter is govmed by the Cctnissicn's Nove:ter 5,1976 Mccrrancun and Order expressly applicable to nine cases, cne of hich _; de Ihree Mile Island, Unit 2 case.
