Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 MATTER OF THE A??LICATION OF DUKE POWER COMPANY FOR LICENSES UNDER THE ATOMIC ENERGY ACT OF 1954, AS AMENDED, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 and 3. .

INTERVENORS' PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF IAW

l. STATEMENT These "Intervenors' Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law" are filed pursuant :o order of the A:omic Safety and Licensing Board, Honorable Samuel W. Jensch, Chairman, issued at the close of the public hearing herein at Walhalla, South Carolina, on September 12, 1967, authorizing the filing of this document on or befora October 10, 1967.

(Tr. 589)

This case concerns the application of Duke Power Company ("Applican:")

for licenses under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and specifi-cally for Research and Developmen: Licenses (including a construction permit), applied for under..Section 104 (b) of the Act, ":o cons:ruc:, own,

d.,

J l use and operate" the utilization facilities hereinafter described as an integral part of a nuclear electric generating plant to be located in "Oconee Nuclear Sta: ion" consisting of three pressurized water type reac:crs (PWR's), (application p. 7, par. e.), and appurtenant facilities.

The fundamental question of law raised by Intervenors in their pleadings and at the hearing is whether er not the Commission has jurisdiction under Section 104 (b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to gran: :o Duke Power Company Researchand Development licenses (including a construction permit), "to construct, own, use and operate" for forty years said three Pressurized Water Type Reac: ors.

2. THE SOI.E QUESTION OF JURISDICTIONAL FACT FOR DETERMINATION SY THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD.

The sole question of jurisdictional fact for de:ermination by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board is: .

Has Applican:, Duke Power Company, sustained its jurisdictional burden of proving that the Pressurized Water Type of Reactor to be employed by Duke in each of b three units of the proposed Oconce Nuclear Station is (1) a Research and Development utilica:1cn facility and (2) of a type which does not have practical value for commercial purposes.

3. APPLICABLE STATUTE The applicable statute, insofar as material here, reads as follows:

"For several years Con-Ed has been actively engaged with '

-- S:a: ion Power Plan: use, and no: for research and developmen , where the only permissib!c sale c electric energy would be a by-product sale fcr the purpose of disposing of power developed as a by-produc: of the experime nt. Saic decision further finds at pp.15-17 of the mimacgraphed repor::

"A::he conclusion of :he hearing, Ccasolida:od Edison filed w:th :he Board, in accordance wi:h Sec:icn 21764(a) of the Commission's Rules of Prac:ica, a motica for expedited effec:-

iveness of the initial decision.

The record also shows tha: Con-Ed has an increasing demand for electricity and means mus be found to fulfill that demand.

Con-Ed has presen:ed evidence respecting the capacity of its existing generating plants and endeavers to provide addi-

icnal capaci:y, including the protracted S:orm King Mountain pumped water s:crage projec:. A failure to supply the demand would affec: the public interes: that buyers hate in their concer .

that electrici:y be delivered when they make a call for it. Con-Ed is obligated in the public service :c make delivery as the demand arises and as 1: may va y from :ime to :ime. *********

Con-Ed has asserted that as the fall and winter weather approaches, each day is impor: ant in :he construction schedule in order :o achieve as much cement work as possible before free::ing weather delays the work. These aspects of construc-

$:icn are reflec:ed in the capability of Con-Ed to supply the demands made upon it for elec:ricity. The Board concludes that substantial economic injury will occur if th:s initial decision is not made effective in accordance wi:h the Rules, and thus the motion is granted and the crder herein will so provide."

o facility has been sufficiently developod to be of practical value for industrial or comercial purposes, the Comission may thereafter issue licensos for such type of facility pursuant to section 103."

(4) Section 104(b) of the Act does not authorize licenses for "the use" of Research and Development facilities. Instead it contem-plates that when the type of facility involved in Research and Develop-ment has been sufficiently developed to be of practical value for indus-trial or comercial purposes, "the use" of such type cf facility shall be licensy only under Section 103 of the Act.

(5) The words "to use" in Sections 101 and 103 cme into the Act by amendment at the same time, subsequent to 1954 (Sunra, pp. 3, 4).

(6) The Co=ission is therefore without jurisdiction to issue a license to Applicant "to use" the Oconee pressurised Water Type Reactors under Section 104(b) of the Act for forty years or any other period of tine, long or short, said jurisdiction being existent only under Section 103, after proper application has been filed and lawful findings made.

7. The Jurisdictional Theories of the Acclicant and the AEC Staff.

A. The theory that the "once-through steam generator" not employed in connection with previous pressurized Water Type Reactors and other novel itens proposed for Oconee are enough to convert this proceeding into a Research and Develop =cnt, experimont and a non-comercial project which =sy be licensed under Section 104(b) of the Act. (proposed Findin'gs of Fact and Conclusions of Law by the AEC Regulatory Staff, pars.18, 20,22(c)).

. g4 The answer to this theory is that the once-througn steam genera *wr and si=ilar itoms are not rolevant to the question whether de Pros-surized Water Typo of Reactor is a non-co=orcial experimontal facil-ity. In order to custain its burdon of proof on the controlling quos-tion of jurisdictional fact, Duke must first establish that tho Pros-suri cd Wator Type of Reactor is a Research and Development tvue of facility which does not have practical value for co=ercial use. Since Applicant h2s failed to sustain its burden of proof as to the, t ree of Reactor, the proposed novel features incidental to the particular fac i l'ty are irrelevant. (See Tr. pp. 557-558). y Y.creover, it should be noted that the Cc=ission has the sane power to review the health, safety, and national security features of the particular facil4 ties to be employed under both Sections 103(d) and 104(d) of the Act. But the Act does not authorize converting a Section 103 tree of utilisation facility into a Section 104(b) ty:e of facility, merely because there are some novel its:s involved in the particular plant design, as contrasted with the character of the t me of Reactor to be employed.

3. The. theory that the proposed Oconee reactors of the pres-surized water type are Reser2ch and Development reactors because they are larger than any ?.Ges now operating and their economic feasibi'4 ty requires the test of operating experience before their practical value can be demonstrated. (Applicantes Proposed Findings and Conclusions, pars. 17-18, et seq.)

17-

.n., -. - - . = . - . . - . _=, = m.- . -- .. - ,

. 4 ._ -._6.--

o

)

This theory may have been arguable before the trial of this proceeding. All the facts and law above su==arised show that it is not applicable here.

C. The theory that since Oconee cannot be licensed under Section 103 without amend =ent of Duke's application and without an affirmative finding b r the Cor:nission of practical value for the Pressurized Water Type of Reactor, ergo a license must be issued forthwith under Section 104(b), (Staff Proposed Findings and Con-clusions, par. 21) in order to enable Duke to meet its public util-ity obligations. (Applicant's Proposed Findings and Conclusions, pp. 12 and 13).

The short answer to this theory is that if Applicant has failed to sustain its burden of provin'g the jurisdictional fact prerequisite to a lawful license under Section 104(b), the Commission's and the Board's plain duty is to deny the Application as filed; and the responsib4'ity for filing a lawful Application for a lawful license under Section 103, whether by amendment or otherwise, with the statu-tory privilege of incorporation by reference, the reference of the practical value issue to the Commission at the outset, or whatnot, is wholly and solely Applicant's problen.

To avoid creation of a vast private monopoly of atomic power, f.he Congress, under Section 103 of the Act, gives the Ccmmission juris-diction to license the acquisition, ownership and use, either in whole or in part, separate and apart from the construction and operation of utilization facilities, the language of Section 103 being in the dis-junctive. (See Tr. 534; Tr. 536-537).

j Under the Ator.ic 2ncrgy Act of 1954 as amended, the full rance of do antitrust hws of America apply to civ47'an nuclear power exploitation. (Act, Section 105).

ITaen a true co=e:-cial nuclear plant operation is to be licensed, special procedures and safegua:-ds are prescribed in Section 105 of the-Act to achieve careful se:-utiny of such application and potential operation in the light of such antitrust laws.

The obvious nood for such scrutiny is aircady with us today in
