CONTENTIONS WHICH ARE AT ISSUE IN THE ABOVE INDICATED MATTER I.
The contentions wnich have been consolidated and modified follow:
1.
Plum River Fault Applicants have failed to show by accepted geologic standards that the Plum River fault, which runs within 5.5 miles of the site is not a capable fault in determining site geologic suitability and the safety measures that will be necessary to insure that the continued working integrity of the proposed reactors will be adequate

. 2.
Terrestrial and Acuatic Ecolozy Applicants have failed to accurately evaluate the effect of the proposed reactors on the terrestrial and aquatic life in the proposed exclusion area; the site area generally mui especially in the upper Mississippi River Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
The requirements of the
~
National Environ = ental Policy Act; 10 CFR Part 20; and 10 CFR Part 51 have not been met in Applicants' Early Site Review.

Illinois Centention #6; Iowa FIRG Contention #10; fJoDaviessContention#III.
3.
Stranskv Airport There are unacceptable risks to the public health and safety due to the difficulties concerning approach and departure from Carroll County's Stransky Memorial Field which lies 2.3 miles from the proposed site for the nuclear power plant.
(
Illinois Contention #7; f
Jo Daviess Contention #IV(c).
4.
Socio-economic Risks There are unacceptable socio-economic losses for the inhabitants of the surrounding area which would result f cm using the pre:osed site to construct and operate a nuclear power plant.

5.
Roads at Site There is a lack of safe and adequate roads on the site area for transportation to and from the site and for evacuation in the event of an onsite accident.
There are very limited options for away from downwind evacuation in the event of an accident requiring such action.
(
ISP Contention f(a)(i);

II.
The State of Illinois Contentions (Ill. Contentions)
In addition to the State of Illinois Contentions which have been accepted and consolidated, as set forth in Section I above, the following Illinois contentions are accepted:
1.
10 CFR 551.20(a)(3) requires that the Applicant's Environmental Report be "sufficiently co=plete to aid the Commission in developing and exploring - pursuant to Section 102(2)(E) of National Environmental Policy Act appropriate alternatives."
Applicants, in CCS-SS-ER Ch. 9.2 have no cet the recuired standard in that they i
l have failed to provide adequate discussiens of alternative 9
sites (Ill. Cententiens a an: 4 0)'.
. 2.
In determining public health and safety, applicants have failed to adequately consider or take into account the effect on the proposed reactor of explosions which could occur at the Savannah Army Depot, which is 13.2 miles from the proposed site and is used for the storage of artillery a= munition, bombs and their cocponents, grenades, rockets, mine and engineering explosives,
riot control agents, fuses, primers, pyrotechnics, and missile warheads.
(CCS-SS-SSR 52.2.2.2).
(Ill. Contention #8).
3.
In determining public health and safety, applicants have failed to adequately censider or take into account the effects on the proposed reactors of explosions which could occur during the transportation of such ac=unitions as mentioned above on either the Burlington Northern Railway or on Illinois Route 84.
(Ill. Contention #9).
4.
Potential areas of archeological value were not investigated in Site Suitability Environment report (CCS-SS-ER 8.3-29).
The Sauk and Fox Indian Tribes occupied Carroll County along the Mississippi River until the last century and the final retreat following the l
Blackhawk War.
Many artifacts of Indian civilitation are extant.
There has been no censideration of whether urilitation of the Carroll County site will cause dis-
. turbance of Indian burial grounds and Icas or destruction of archeological knowledge and artifacts significant to past and present Native American Culture.
(Ill.
Contention #16)
