exercise of his sound discretion on the record at the pre-hearing conference. (Tr. 91.)

ARGUMENT I

Congress has granted under the Atomic Energy Act an absolute right to intervene in this proceeding to "any person whose interest may be affected by the proceeding".

l A.

The Atomic Energy Act bv its terms establishes the statutory basis for the Commission's granting Iotnt Petitioners a hearing and for the Commission's admitting Ioint Petitioners as parties to this proceeding.

j 1.

Th3 Atomic Energy Act, 42 U.S.C., Sec. 2239(a), provides:

" (a) in any proceeding under this chapter, for the granting, suspending, revoking, or e, mending of any i

license or construction permit *** the Commission shall grant a hearing upon the request of any person whose interest may be affected by the proceeding, and shall admit any such person as a party to such proceeding. "

The Atomic Energy Act. 42 U.S.C., Sec. 2014(q), further provides:

"The term ' person' means (1) any individual, corporation, partnership, firm, association, trust, estate, public or private institution, group, Government agency other than the Commission, any State or any political subdivision of, or any political entity within a State, any foreign government or nation or any political subdivision of any suchgovernment or nation, or other entity; and (2) any.

legal successors, representative, agent, or agency of the foregoing."

2.

This proceeding under the Atomic Energy Act is an application by Duke Power Company for the granting of licenses, including a construction -

.m j

permit, to build and operate three nuclear reactors of the pressurized water type, and this is therefore a " preceeding under this chapter, for the granting *** of any license or construction permit" within the meaning of 42 U.S.C., Soc. 2239(a), supra.

3.

Joint Petitioners include one " corporation" and each of the eleven otrer Joint Petitioners is a " political subdivision of, or any political entity within a state", and each Joint Petitioner is therefere a " person" within the meaNng of 42 U.S.C., Sec. 2014(q) supra.

4.

Joint Petitioners have requested a hearing and have requested to be admitted as parties by filing their joint petition for intervention within the time fixed by the Notice of Hearing as required by the Commission's Rules of Practice (CFR Title 10, Chapter 1, 2. 714 Intervention (a)).

5.

Therefore, the sole grestion presented for finding and determina-l tion by this Board is whether Joint Petitioners' " interest may be affected l

by the proceeding".

B.

If the Board finds, as it must, that Ioint Petitioners' " interest may be affected by th> proceedina", the Act mandatcrily requires the Com-mission to grant Ioint Petitioners a hearina and to admit Ioint Petitioners as

{

parties to the proceeding. Atomic Enercy Act, 42 U.S.C., Secs. 2239(a);

{

2014(q) supra.

II -

Joint Petitioners for leave to intervene have set forth in their joint petition an " interest" which "may be affected by tre proceeding". _

i

~

j A. The " interest" of foint Petitioners is set forth in their joint cetition for leave to intervene.

1.

The interest of Joint Petitioners, as set forth in their petition for leave to intervene *, is to oppose the conclusion that under Section 104(b),of the Act the Commission has jurisdiction to grant to applicant an exclusive Research and Development License for the pressurized water type reactor to be employed in the Oconee Nuclear Station,. Units 1, 2 and 3. (J. P., p. 2-3, par. #2 and #3).

2.

The interest of Joint Petitioners as set forth in their petition for leave to intervene, is to support the conclusion that the Commission under Section 103 of the Act has jurisdiction to grant to Duke, upon proper application, a non-exclusive commercial license for the pressurized water type reactor to be employed in the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, conditioned upon Duke's offering to Petitioners a fair and reasonable participation in the ow.tership of said pressurized water type reactor to be employed in said Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3. (J.P. p.2, par. #2:

M. D. pps. 2-5, par. #2 - #4.)

The interest of Joint Petitioners is therefore to oppose a jurisdictional finding of fact by the Board under Section 104(b) of the Act that the pres-surized water type of reactor to be employed by Duke does not have practical

.value for commercial use, and to support a jurisdictional finding of fact by the Board that the pressurized water type of reactor to be employed by Duke does have practical value for commercial use. (Mem., pp. 2-4)

The assertion of Joint Petitioners' " interest" as set forth in their Joint Petition, is not inprovident, as shown by the following contrast between the rights of petitioners under a Section 103 Commercial License and tre "no rights" of Petitioners under a Section 104 Research and Development License:

(Section 104) 1.

B.

Tre " interest" of Toint Petitioners, set forth in the Toint Petition as aforesaid, may be affected by the.oroceeding".

i 1.

Under the facts set forth in the application of Duke Power Company 1

as supplemented and amended herein, the Board should find as a jurisdictional fact that the pressuri::ed water type reacter to be employed by Duke does have 4

practical value for commercial use, which would necessitate a conclusion that neither the Board nor the Commission has jurisdiction to grant a Research and Developcent License or Construction permit as applied far by Duke under Section 104 of the Act. (Application, Supplement 1, pages 1-1,1-5;. -..

,I

Appendix A hereto, pages 2, 3, a copy of which is hereto attached and marked Appendix A and made part hereof; Mem. p.1, 6-9; Transcript p.14-17; Amendment No. 3 to Application for Licenses, paragraphs A A-6, B B-4) 2.

Nevertheless, the AEC Regulacrv Staff has recommended that at the conclusion of tre hearing scheduled before the tsoard at Walhalla, South Carolina, on August 29, 1967, the Board should issue a Research and Development Construction Permit to Duke under Section 104(b) of the Act, which implies a finding of Research and Development license juris-diction together with a jurisdictional finding of fact that the pressurized water type of reactor to be employed does not have practical value for commercial use. (Notice of Heart ig, dated 24 July,1967, p. 2; Prehearing Statement on behalf of AEC Regulatory Staff, Transcript p.

100, 104) 3.

Unless the Joint Petition for Lea m to Intervene is granted, the interest of Joint Petitioners may be adversely affected by the proceeding, for the reason that both the Applicant and the AEC Regulatory Staff are seeking to obtain a fincing that, without regard to the question of juris-dictional fact, common to both Section 103 and Section 104 licenses, as to whether or not the pressurized water type reacter to be employed is of practical value for commercial use upon the facts of record in this pro-ceeding, a Research and Development License should be issued to appli-cant because, forsooth, the applicant proposes to conduct certain

experimental activities which cannot in any way diminish or destroy the established practical value for commercial use of the pressuriz2d water type of reactor to be employed in the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3. (Application Supplement 1, p.1-34,1-35; Transcript p. 41-44) 4.

Th3 interest of Joint Petitioners, set forth in their Joint Petition for Leave to Intervene, may also be adversely affected by the proceeding, for tha reason that if Joint Petitioners interest is not represented, the Atomic Energy Commission may adopt an interpretation of the Atomic Energy Act not authorized by law, and may reject the statutory interpre-tation required by law. Since the Atomic Energy Commission has hitherto J

adopted ex parte an interpretation of the words "Research and Developnient" and " Commercial" contrary to that of Petitioners, it is respectfully sub-mitted that Joint Petitioners for Leave to Intervene are ent!tled to a hearing wrere they may.fevelop by evidence such admissions against interest on the part of the Applicant as that contained in the following press release of Duke Power Company, card on or about August 12,19G7:

From Public Relations Department Duke Power Company 422 South Church Street i

Charlotte, North Carolina FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHARLOTTE--W. B. McGuire, president of Duke Power Company, Friday called "c:Jmpletely untrue" the latest allegation by 1 North Carolina towns that Duke Power has been misleading in it opplication for an Atomic Energy Commission license to build its Oconee Nuclear l.

• I i

I McGuire concluded by saying:

"Di..ce Power Company has been interested in the possiblity of nuclear s;eneration of electricity since l

enactment of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Since that time we have spent about $12 million on study, training and research in the nuclear field.

"The Oconee Nuclear Station is an outgrowth of these efforts and 2

now that the generation of electric power is technologically and economically fe a s ib le, * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "

in order to avoid a denial to these Petitioners of procedural due process.

1 CONCLUSION t

Since, Congress has granted unde. the Atomic Energy Act an absolute right to intervene in this proceeding to "any person whose interest may be affected by the proceeding"; and i

Since,131nt Petitioners for leave to intervene have set forth in their l

Joint petition an " interest" which "may be affected by the proceeding"; now Therefore, it is respectfully submitted that the Commission should i

grant 3 nearing to Joint Petitioners and admit Joint Petitioners as parties to tha proceeding all as prayed for in their Joint Petition for Leave to
