Dear Board Members:
Enclosed is a copy of an order of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in the Duke Power Co. (Shipment of Oconee Spent Fuel to McGuire Nuclear Station), Dkt.

Sincerely,

proposed acti:n is therefore incensistent with the ccaditions 1 and 2 laid d=. by the 2C in pre nigating the criteria for approval of interic spent fuel stcrage.
(40 Fed. Reg. 42801) Thus, the proposed action cc.ot be acted upon until cc=pletion of inpact statements en the preposed progrs: n=e being conducted by DOE (Secrage of U. S. Spent Powar Reactor Fnel QOE/EIS-0015-D) August 1978, and Supple =ent, Deesber 1978; Storage of Foreign Spent Power Reactor Fuel (DOE /EIS-0040-D) Decder 1978; Prel' '"='/ Es-d=ates of the Cha=;e for Spent-Fuel Storage and Disposal Services (DGE/IT-0355) July 1978; Charge for Spent Fuel Storage (DOE /EIS-0041-D) Dece=ber 1978) and NPO (Draft Generic Ew. ironnental In: pact State-cant c.

Tne proposed a'ction is a rajor federal actica significantly affecti.g the cuality of the huran envir e t and cannot be acted upon until preparatica of a final envircnmental inpact statement.
(Tr. 48-60)
Cententien 3.
Tne foliceing alternatives to the proposed action have not been adecuately considered:
a.
Tne alte native of using Ocenee as a last-on, first-off, base-loaded plant to reduce spent fuel discharge req,tira
.ts is not cr.sidered.
b.
Tne alleged ecenc=ic cost of increased purchases of

a.
Either A plicant should be bound to cc: ply with the ene-ccre discharge capacity standard or it should have to dm. strate on a cost / benefit basis that holding that capability is core valuable than the costs of ship ent off-site of one cere of spent fuel.
(Tr.85-127)
Cc.tentien 6.
Shipnent of spent n:el frco Ocenee to McGuire will be vulnerable to sabotage or other ::alevolent acts and this represents a se-icus risk.
