Docket No. 50-574
.(Exports to the Philippines)
Application l10. XCOM 0013
)
Application No. XSNM0 1471 SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUf1 IN REPLY TO NRC STAFF SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWER The Center for Development Policy, the Philippine Movement for Environmental Protection ("PMEP"), Jesus Nicanor Perlas, III, and the Movement for a Free Philippines (" Petitioners") submit this memorandum to aid the Commission and to respond to the staff's Supplemental Answer in this proceeding.
1.
Scope of Hearing.
Petitioners are aware that one of the crucial questions facing the Commission is the scope of the hearings to be held in this matter.
More specifically, the question becomes whether or not the Commission will attempt to evaluate the health and safety risks of'this export, and if so, to what extent.
Petitioners would submit that it is of crucial importance for this Commission to evaluate health and safety risks posed by this reactor.
The NRC's actions are perceived. abroad as evaluating the health and safety risks whether or not the Commission actually does.
Thus, Westinghouse is on record in the Philippines as stating that the NRC had given "the Bataan nuclear plant a clean bill of health and [the reactor] would pose _ no u.ndue risks to the
'1160 Oli public and plant surroundings."
,r 91ot'r oS F3
Obviously, when the foreign nation views this as an American project, when the NRC's actions are viewed, rightly or wrongly, as judging the health and safety aspects of this project, and when tne applicant is trying to persuade others that the NRC has judged the health and safety aspects, there is no choice left for this Co r.m i s s i o n but to engage in a thorough review of the health and safety aspects.f this reactor.
2.
Request to Add Necessary Parties.
The only party presently before this Commission is the applicant for the export license, Westinghouse.
Yet the Commission will be making decisions on material developed and submitted by others besides the applicant.
For example, most of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report ("PSAR") and the Preliminary Site Investigat ion Report ("PSIR") were developed by Ebasco, a consultant to the Philippines National Power Corp.
Neither of these are parties to this proceeding.
The State Department in the executive branch jud ment submitted.on September 28, 1979 relied heavily upon Ebasco data.
Yet Ebasco will not be before the Commission and thus will not be forced to justify its results.
Ebasco is in possession of most of the primary evidence in this matter and yet unless it is a party to the proceedings it will not produce this evidence and thus the Commission will not have a complete record upon which to judge this export.
i160 012
3.
The Need for a Trial-type Hearing.
The NRC staff recommends against a trial-type hearing because the Commission is not required to hold such a hearing.
Supplemental Answer p.
10.
While this is indeed che general rule, the present case is exceptional and its facts require a hearing.
As Petitioners have detailed previously, there are crucial questions of credibility concerning the evidence submitted in this matter.
The only way that credibility can be judged is to subject the individuals to cross-examination on the record in order that the fact-finders themselves can judge the witnesses' substantive answers and their demeanor.
There can be no substitute for cross-examination in this case when there is evidence that reports have been deliberately and consciously misstated and that much evidence on the seismic and volcanic risks to this plant have been hidden.
As has been shown in the Puno Commission hearings in the Philippines, when the applicant and the engineering consultants, Ebasco, have been subjected to a rigorous cross-examination, much new and different evidence has been disclosed.
This evidence has uniformly been unfavorable to the interests of Westinghouse and Ebasco and thus would never have the seen the light of day unless solicited through cross-examination.
Tnerefore, as Petitioners have demonstrated, the need for a trial-type adversarial hearing is overwhelming.
i160 013
4.
Submission of Affidavits Attached hereto are the affidav:ts of eight PMEP members, seven of whom. are American citizens curre.itly residing in the Philippines within 70 kilometers of the proposed reactor site.
These affidavits detail the Petitioners' interests in the subject matter of this proceeding and demonstr te why they meet the requirements for a hearing as of right in this matter.
5.
Conclusion Petitioners respectfully request that this Commission issue an order (a) making Petitioners, as well as Phiiippines National Power Corp. and Ebasco Services, Inc. parties in this proceeding, and (b) ordering an adjudicatory hearing
,,n all questions raised by the Petition at which all parties may present evidence, utilize compulsory process and cross-examine adverse witnesses.
Respectfully
- ubmitted, L
