. Febntary 2,19'(3 r;ffice of Secretarf of the Co= mission P.O. Ato.nie Fnergy Commission Uanhington, D.C., 20545 Attn: Chief Public Proceedings Staff Genticmen: ,

The Co.tlition for Safe Nuclect Power van previously granted intervention status in the Davis-Besse Construction Hearing, Docket No. 50-346, which started in

'>c< mber,1970, as our interests were affected by the Davis-Besse NucJear Power Str.clon.

The Coalition attempted to intervene on environmental r.atters at that Construction IIertring, but vus denied its richta in that hearing to intervene on any aspecta of the environment so provided for by the National Environmental Policy Act.

This was due to the fact that the Atomic Energy Ocm.ission had adopted its own rulen to the effect that UEFA did not apply until hearings after March,1971, although the UEFA was passed in Januar/,1970.

Subucquently the Coalition also filed Court actions in District Court in Washing-ton in an attempt to stop construction of the Davis-Besse Plant until a leEal benring could be held. .

The Unshinr: ton District Court, in the Calvert Cliffo Decision, required the AEC to hold environmental hearings on planto, such no Davis-Bease Plant, where lieurinco had been held after pasocge of IEPA without considering environmental I fis ues .  ;

Tha GC has now announced that it vill hold hearingo on the Davis-Desse Plant, nn.1 the Coalition, as accepted intervenors in the Davis-Besse Hearings, is nubnitting herewith one copy of its list of contentions with respect to the

'ortheoning Environmental Henring on the Davis-Beace Nuclear Fover Plant.

Allitional copies of our coatentions are bein6 cent by regular mail.
