Docket No. 50-409-SC 8
(La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor NOTICE OF HEARING (September 30, 1980)
On February 25, 1980 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an order directing Dairyland Power Cooperative (Licensee) to show cause why it should not submit a detailed design propo-sal for a site dewatering system to preclude the occurrence of I
liquefaction under certain conditions, and why it should not make such system operational no later than February 25, 1981.
The order was published in the Federal Register of March 3, 1980, 45 Fed. Reg. 13850.
It provided that_the Licensee or any other person whose interest may be affected by the order might request a hearing within 25 days of the date of the order.
Timely requests for a hearing were received from Mr. Frederick M. Olsen III, and from the Coulee Region Energy Coalition (CREC).
In addition, the Licensee submitted a detailed answer to the show-cause order which, it claimed,
@ '00so 4 y o
(, QSch 3e i
~ satisfied the order; it requested a hearing if the NRC Staff should not agree with its answer.
By order dated July 29, 1980, published at 45 Fed. Reg. 52290 (August 6,1980), the Commission delegated to a Li:ensing Board the authority to consider and rule on the requests for a hearing and, if it determined a hearing was required, to conduct an adjudicatory hearing.
On August 29, 1980 the NRC Staff advised the Licensing Board that it had changed its position and that it no longer believed that the design and installation of a site dewatering system was necessary to protect the health and safety of the public.
By taking that position the Staff made moot the Licensee's conditional hearing request.
At a prehearing confer-
, ence held in La Crosse, Wisconsin on September 11, 1980, the Licensing Board granted the hearing requests of Mr. Olsen and CREC and it consolidated those two parties.
These rulings are memorialized by the Licensing Board's Prehearing Conference Order dated September 30, 1980, LBP-80-26, 12 NRC Please take notice that a hearing will be conducted in this show-cause proceeding.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board which has been designated to preside over this proceeding consists of Dr. George C. Anderson, Ralph S. Decker and Charles Bechhoefer, who will serve as Chairman of the Board.
i

j The public is invited to attend any prehearing conferences, as well as the evidentiary hearing.
During some or all of these sessions, and in accordance with 10 CFR 5 2.715(a), any person, not a party to the proceeding, will be permitted to make a limited appearance statement, either orally or in writing, stating his or her position on the issues.
