APPLICANTS' ANSWER TO THE PETITION TO INTERVENE OF SEACOAST ANTI-POLLUTION LEAGUE On November 13, 1981, the Seacoast Anti-Pollution League (SAPL) served by mail a petition to intervene in the above-captioned matter.

This petition recites, inter alia, that SAPL is a "non-profit, voluntary organization.

that it intervened in the Seabrook construction permit proceedings, rec ;es certain broad, general reasons for wanting to intervene and states a " position" of SAPL that the applicants' emergency preparedness plan will not adequately, nor feasibly, protect the public health and safety of the seacoast region of the State of New Hampshire.

Pursuant te 10 CFR S 2.714(c), the applicants answer this petition and say that for the reasons set forth below, the peti-tion least in its present form should be denied.

8112020516 811125

{DRADOCK 05000443 PDR

SAPL's petition fails to identify any members by name and address who wish to be represented by SAPL and who have the necessary interast to maintain standing to intervene.

In the absence of such information, the petition must be denied.

Virginia Electric & Power Co. (North Anna Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 & 2), ALu3-536, 9 NRC 402, 404 (1979); Detroit Edison Co. (Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, Unit 2), LBP-79-1, 9 NRC 73, 77 (1979).

At present, the petition does not appear to set out any specific contentions as such and clearly gives no bases for any contentions with " reasonable specificity" as is required before intervention can be granted.

See 10 CFR S 2.714(b).

Thus, even assuming that SAPL amends to overcome the deficiency which now exists with respect to the failure to set out the names of individuals whom SAPL is representing, intervention should still be withheld until SAPL complies with the require-ments of 10 CFR $ 2.714(b).
