NOTICE OF HEARING ON ISSUANCE OF FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE On January 2,1979, at 44 Fed. Reg.125, the Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission published a notice which, inter alia,' stated that the Comission had received an application for a facility operating license from Louisiana Power and Light Company (Applicant) to possess, use and operate the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, a pres-surized' water nuclear reactor, located on Applicant's site in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.
The reactor is designed to operate at a core power level of 3390 megawatts thermal, with an equivalent net electrical output of approximately 1104 megawatts.
The notice stated the Comission will consider the issuance of a facility operating license which would authorize the applicant to possess, use and operate the Waterford Station, Unit 3, in accordance with the provisions of the license and the technical specifications appended thereto.
The notice provided that by February 1,1979 any person whose 7903220 W
- interest may be affected by the proceeding could file a petition fcr leave to intervene in accordance with the Commission's " Rules of Practice" in 10 C.F.R. Part 2.
On February 12, 1979, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board was established to rule on petitions for leave to intervene and/or requests for hearing and to preside over the proceeding in the event a hearing was ordered.
The Board members are Dr. Walter H.
Jordan, Dr. Harry Foreman, and Sheldon J. Wolfe, who will serve as Chair-man of the Board.
Save our Wetlands, Inc. and the Oystershell Alliance, Inc. filed a joint petition for leave to intervene and the Louisiana Consumer's League, Inc. filed a petition for leave to intervene. As indicated in our Memorandum and Order of March 7,1979, the Atomic Safety and Licens-ing Board ruled that the three petitioners for leave to intervene had established standing to intervene.
Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 5 2.751a the Board will conduct a special prehearing conference on April 26, 1979 in New Orleans, Louisiana at a time and place to be specified in a later order. The parties to this prcceeding, including the petitioners for leave to intervene, or their respective counsel, are directed to appear. This special prehearing conference is held in order to:
(1)
Permit identification of the key issues in the proceeding; e
. (2)
Take any steps necessary for further identi-fication of the issues; (3)
Consider all intervention petitions to allow the presiding officer to make such preliminary or final determination as to the parties to the pro-ceeding, as may be appropriate; and (4)- Establish a schedule for further actions in the proceeding.
The attention of the petitioners for leave to intervene is directed to 10 C.F.R. 5 2.714(b) which provides that not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the holding of the special prehearing conference pursuant to a 2.751a, a petitioner shall file a supplement to his '
petition to intervene which must include a list of the contentions which petitioner seeks to have litigated in the matter, and the bases for eac.h contention set forth with reasonable specificity.
The public is invited to attend the prehearing conference but members of the public may not participate in this conference. An opportunity for any person who wishes to make an oral or written statement in this proceeding but whd has not filed a petition for leave to intervene will be provided. Any person may request permission to make a limited appearance pursuant to provisions of 10 C.F.R. 5 2.715 of the Commission's " Rules of Practice". Subject to the conditions set forth in subsequent Orders, limited appearances will be permitted at the time a i 2.752 prehearing conference is held and also at the e
e e
. beginning of the hearing, if any.
Persons desiring to make a limited appearance are requested to inform the Secretary of the Commission, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D. C. 20555.
For further details see the application for the facility operating license and the Applicant's environmental report, which were transmitted by letter dated December 15, 1978, and papers filed concerning the peti-tions for leave to intervene including the Meraorandum and Order dated March 7,1979, all of which are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.
C.,
and at the University of New Orleans Library, Louisiana Collection, Lakefront, New Orleans, Louisiana 70122.
Whether a hearing is ultimately held will depend upon whether con-tentions suitable for hearing develop in the prehearing procedures to follow.
