t-NUCLEAR REGULATORY C0FHISSION (Docket Nos. 50-424 & 50-425)
Georgia Power Company (Alvin W. Vogtle Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 & 2)
NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF DIRECTOR'S DECISION Under 10 CFR 2.206 (DD-81 12)
By letter, dated September 25, 1980, Mr.. Gary Flack, on behalf of Georgians Against Nuclear Energy (GANE), requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Comission recone.ider its decision to issue construction permits to Georgia-Power Company for the construction of the two Alvin W. Vogtle nuclear facilities. GANE's letter is being treated as a request for action pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the Comission's regulations.
Upon consideration of GANE's letter, I have determined, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.?.06, to deny the request.
Copies of the " Director's Decision under 10 CFR 2.20s" which fully discuss the reasons for this decision are available for inspection in the Cormission's Public Document Room at 1717 H Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
20555, and in the local public docurent room at the Burke County Library, 4th Street, Waynesboro, Georgia 30830.
A copy of this decision will also be filed with the Secretary for the Comission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206 (c).

20555 Re:
Docket Nos. 50-424 & 50-425
Dear Mr. Denton:
Georgia power has qecently advised the Georgia Public Service Com-mission that it anticipates substantial excess capacity j
during this decade.
Contrary to data previously submitted J
to you, Georgia Power now projects excess capacity ranging from 40-46% after the scheduled completion of Vogtle 1 and j
2.
An article from the August 22, 1980' Atlanta Journal discussing this matter is enclosed.
Georgians Against Nuclear Energy (GANE) again asks the Nuclear Regulatory Cc= mission to reconsider its decision on
]
the above dockets based on this new information.
o GANE requests hearings to' assess the need for power from the two'Vogtle units, and the need for a si:pplemental Environmen-tal Impact Statement to account for the neu information, as ii required by the National Environmental Protection Act.
The new forecasts of Georgia Power support the position already stated by GANE in these dockets.
Similarly, the new data l
undermines the factual basis of the decision of the Commission.
,1 Accordingly, GANE respectfully arges that its entire petition in these dockets be expeditiously reconsidered by the Commission in light of the new data.
Very trul
- yours,

October 15, 1980 MEMORANDUM FOR: Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM:
James P. Murray Office of Executive Legal Director
SUBJECT:
2.206 PETITION REQUESTING HEARING ON NEED FOR POWER AT V0GTLE UNITS 1 & 2 AND HEARING ON SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT By letter dated September 25, 1980, Mr. Gary Flack, on behalf of Georgians Against Nuclear Energy, requested that hearings be held to assess the need for power from Georgia Power's_ Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, and to assess the need for a supplemental Environmental Impact Statement in light of new forecasts for electricity demand submitted by Georgia Power to the Georgia Public Service Commission. The request will be treated under section 2.206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice.
This request is similar to other requests made by GANE that have been treated under section 2.206. On October 30, 1978, GANE requested that the construction pennits for the two Vogtle units be suspended and that hearings be held on the need for power from these two units. The request was based on new. evidence concerning electrical demand in Georgia. On April 13, 1979, a denial of this request was issued by the Acting Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. On May 1, 1979, GANE requested a reconsideration of the denial. On October 12, 1979, this request was again denied by the Acting Director of NRR.
Finally, as a result of new forecasts submitted to the NRC by Georgia Power, GANE's request for suspension of construction and hearings was again analyzed. On March 26, 1980, you issued a supplemental Decision finding that the new information concerning the demand for electrical power did not alter the conclusions that had been reached in the two earlier denials.
This office will work with your staff to develop an appropriate response.
