Earvin I. Lewis 6504 Iradferd Terrace Phila. FA 19149 10-3-79 In the Eatter of Jccket No. 50-289 Three Mile Island ::o 1. Closing.

In the " raft Contentions which I sent in en 1,i contentions wouldC-1-79, I stated that I was worried that the early submittal of dra close cut cur rights to subnit any further cententions nc matter what the circumstances.

I pointed out the UF.0 otaff's admission on 9-28-79 that the tanks at 3:I/l wculd be needed for surge tanks when the D:I,:2 read:or will Th"=

4=

be flooded abcve the 8 foot level in"40 days"and LG nights.

a point that I had cinted out in my filings on the Ipicore II TEI.. 2

.uniliary builiing filtering system.

Yesterday, a similar thing hap.ened.

I have filed cn 10-1-79 draft cententicns and earlier my wcrries about the pipe cracking problem in L.'s.

At Grand Frairie, a nuclear plant had a major pipe breal.

This all points cut that cutting cff the. date for filing draft cententicas is not only unfair ; but also,

insensitive tc the health and safety of the public.

I also wish to add the.foll6 wing contenticn' to my draft contentions:

I contend that the IMI.,*1 be must be permanently closed te ensure the health and safety of the public frca this grossly dangercQs nuke on this most dangerous be-nuclear sites.

I wish to expand why the circumstances at the NRC in Washingten on atfeast 9-2-79andt'nepipebreakat Frairie Island are-actually new or 4

partial.y new input to my cententions.

Although it is true that I did file and i.ointout these very treblems prior to the incidents on 9-29-79 and 10-2-79, the original 3 art. u t,nat these incidents add to my contentiensj is that they,cint cut the importance End centradict UJ.C statenents en these very immediacy,They also show that the utility statements cn these issues.

issues are also optimistic fluff.

These incidents are safety related.

Within the AZAct and the reculaticn-of the NRC, the health and safety of the public is supposed to be paramount. You will notice that I say

'suppos e '.Obviously, any cutoff which reduces the chances of 1

discovering health and safety issues is not provided in the interest of the public health and safety. This cut-off is strictly in the interests of the profitability of the utility at the expense of the health and safety of the public.

This ignoring cf the public health and safety includes tl.e Board's i

unwillingness to allow me full intervenor / participant status. I have shewn myself to be knowledgeable to the pcint of be.ing predictive off reactor problems.

(Frairie Nuke pipe crack and UP.C admission about the inmediacy of using TEI il tanks for emergency dump cf 2~.Ij2)

' cculd be drawn which The Board has also admitted that ' inferences might allow me to intervene. The Scard states that the real lack in my petition is a "reascned aisysis."

I have admitted that I am not the '.~orld's Greatest Uriter; Mcwever, pro se ( without a lawyer - for yourself G petitions are nct required to be judged by as strict a standard as la*.tyer prepared petidens.

This is a point of, law generally an6;.N2C Board decisions particularly.

4 I again request that I be given full intervenor / participant status.

I again pointcut that consolidation with the other citizen intervencrs will only weaken or eliminate my ability to participate in a meaningful manner.

I will be forced to tutor a lawyer to the point cf expertese and familiadiy with the material problems in the nuclear fuel cycle that has taken me over twenty years of engineering ex,:erience to. develop.

I-will also have to tempe-my thrust to agree with the thrust. cf

!L- _:A whomewer I am censolida i

Any consolidation wculd cnly have the effect onthe proceedings of hiding safety related concerns.
