OHIO CITIZENS FCh RESPONSIBLE ENERGY MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE ITS CONTENTIONS 17, 18, AN rhe p
tu '
Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy ("0CRE") hereby moves the Licensing Board to grant OChE leave to supplement further its Petition to Intervene by filing its Contentions 17, 18, and 19 in the above-captioned proceeding. They are entitled respectively, " Substratum Placement of Water Intake Structure", "Use of Commercial Spent Fuel for Nuclear Weapons",
and " Polymer Degradation from Radiation Exposure."
This Intervenor will first provide general explanations for each contention; OCHE wil' then address the filing require-ments of 10 CFR 2.714.
Contention 17: Substratum Placement of Water Intake Structure OCRE contends that the latest water intake system proposed by the Applicant in its design for PNPP (ER-OL, Section 3.4.4) will inflict unacceptable damage to the aquatic ecology of the site and the Central Basin cf Lake Erie. The intake system I
planned for the Grand Gulf station (of which this Intervenor has recently learned) could well be a superior and environ-mentally preferable method of extracting the necessary water for PNPP.
8 2 0 41Bo\ s2. *#[/I
At the Construction Permit stage the AEC ASLB, the NRC Staff, and various commenters on the DES-CP all expressed concern that the Applicant's intake s'ystem designs would cause excessive impingement /entrainment of fish, fish eggs,
'and larvae. In the recently issued DES-OL (NUREG-0884), the Staff, on the basis of data collected at other power plants on Lake Erie, concludes that impingement /entrainment impacts at PNPP will be insignificant in comparision to the losses caused by other plants (DES-OL at 5-11). Impingement / entrain-ment losses at PNPP are predicted to be comparable to those observed at Davis-Besse (see Table 5.2, DES-OL).
OCRE notes, however, that although these losses are indeed less than those occurring at other plants, they are not neg-ligible. These losses need not be accepted, as the Grand Gulf design is far superior in this regard. As the FES-OL for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (NUREG-0777) at Section 5.6.1 succinctly points out, "because water is not removed directly from the river, no impingement or entrainment of organisms will occur." OCRE inquires as to why a similar system could not be incorporated at Perry.
The Grand Gulf design incorporates five radial wells (see Attachment 1). Collectively they will withdraw 41,900 gallons / minute. The water requirement at PNPP is somewhat higher: 69,400 gpm (ER-OL at Section 3.6.2). This Intervenor surmises that it may be possible for a well system to be successfully employed at Perry, given the construction of additional wells.
OCRE further suspects that the stratigraphy at the site
c may be quite suitable for collection wells. According to the PNPP FES-CP, Section 2.4.2, the strata located between the surface and the shale. bedrock some.55-61 feet below is comprised of "two tills and then lacustrine deposits." The depth and composition of this strata could lend itself well to the " induced infiltration" the Grand Gulf plant will employ.
The benefits are most notably the infliction of zero impingement and entrainment losses upon Lake Erie. The costs to achieve such benefits must be examined. The Applicant has apparently not done this.
Contention 18: Use of Commercial Spent Puel for Nuclear Weapons In October 1981 President Reagan lif ted the ban on com-mercial reprocessing of spent fuel imposed by the previous administration. Subsequently, there has been much speculation that as a result of this policy, plutonium from civilian reactor spent fuel will be used to make nuclear weapons. This spec-ulation has been fueled the development of laser isotope separation technology, which makes such utilization more feasible by removing the undesirable plutonium isotopes (Pu-238, 240, 241), leaving highly pure (93.5%) Pu-239, which is the preferred isotope for use in weapons. This speculation has also been fueled by various statements supportive of this plan made by high-level officials in the Department of Energy, including DOE Secretary James Edwards.
The Applicants apparently share Secretary Edwards' enthu-slasm for this plan, as is evidenced by an article ( A ttachment
- 2) appearing in "The Motor," a monthly magazine for CEI employees.
i
_4 OCRE thus suspects that plutonium produced in the operation of PNPP may be used to produce nuclear weapons.
If, in addition to generating electricity, Perry will i
operate as a production facility for nuclear weaponry, OCRE contends that the effects of this must be considered under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Since the scope of NEPA is broad, an analysis of such action should not be limited to the radiological health effects of reprocessing, plutonium extraction and refinement, and weapons fabrication, but should examine societal consequences as well. E.g., an analysis under NEPA should examine whether this action would increase or decrease national security. Similarly, in accordance ,
with the recent court decision in-the TMI-l restart case re-quiring the NhC to consider psychological stress under NEPA, j the psychological effects on the Applicants' customers should l~ be. examined; e.g., some ratepayers may have moral objections r
to financing nuclear weapons production through their usage of electricity.
OCHE recognize's that such matters have been traditionally left to the Defense Department. However, since ours is a government of, by, and.for the people, and, as is evident from even a cursory glance at the news media, many American citizens
! are questioning defense policies relating to nuclear weapons, .
it is possible that this tradition may be changing. OCRE there-fore believes that the inclusion of this issue in this proceeding is appropriate.
I
' OCRE of course realizes that the use of commercial spent fuel to make nuclear armaments is not current policy. However, t
PNPP.will be licensed to operate for 40 years (indeed, the Pu-239- produced therein has a' half-life of 24,000 years);
it is difficult to predict' events 40 y, ears hence (let alone 24,000 years). From the indications given above, OCRE believes that this plan may be enacted within the operating lifetime of PNPP, possibly even in the near future. Licensure of Perry is under consideration now. The NRC Staff has already performed 4
its preliminary evaluation under NEPA of the impacts of PNPP operation, the DES-OL, NUREG-0884, which did not address this issue. A final statement is due within the next two months.
OCRE contends that the effects of using spent fuel from Perry for the production of nuclear weapons must be considered under NEPA in the current NRC evaluation of FNPP, and a cost-benefit l analysis be' prepared pursuant to such action.
If this cost-benefit analysis indicates that such action is undesirable, the Commission should impose a licensing con-dition specifically prohibiting such use of spent fuel' produced at Perry. If such a licensing condition cannot, for some reason, be imposed, then said use of : spent fuel should be assumed to occur, and the NEPA evaluation should be -incorporated into the cost-benefit analysis used for determining the desirability l
of plant operation. -The Commission's decision on the licensing of PNPP should thus be based accordingly.
Contention 19: Polymer Degradation from Radiation Exposure OCRE has learned of recent experiments condue:ed by-Sandia National Laboratories which indicate that polymers degrade more rapidly when exposed to lower levels of radiation
for long periods of time than when exposed to high levels for
. shorter periods. Since the latter conditions are used for i
age testing materials used in nuclear p~ower plants, it is possible that the useful life of such materials in a radiution i
2 environment has been greatly overestimated. Science News, March 27, 1982 at 215 (Attachment 3).
OCHE has not found in the FSAR a comprehensive listinE of all polymers used at PNPP which will be exposed to radiation and the methods used for age testing same, so this Intervenor -
cannot now determine the degree to which this concern is applicable to-the Perry facility. However, such matters are clearly appropriate subjects for discovery.
OCdE is concerned that the radiation-induced embrittlement of polymers, especially those used as electrical insulation, i
may compromise plant safety. OCRE therefore contends that all polymer materials used in a radiation environment at PNPP should be tested under realistic conditions and inspected for degradation at increased intervals throu6 hout the plant's life-time.
Section 2.714 Filing Requirements for Contentions 17, 18, and 19 OCHE offers as " good cause" for its non-timely filings the novelty of the information upon which the contentions are L f
based. The Grand Gulf design for water intake structures proposed in Contention 17 was described in the FES-OL for
, Grand Gulf, which was issued in October 1981, and was not received by this Intervenor until recently. Likewise Contention
, 18 is based on changes in government policy occurring in i
- , m. _ . , . . . - - - . . .,_ - -
recent months. Both of these issues should have been con-sidered in the DES-OL for Perry; the lack of assessment therein also constitutes good cause. . Contention 19 is cased on an article appearing in the March 27 issue of Science News.
The above-captioned proceeding represents, as has been mentioned previously, the only forum in which OCRE can con-veniently and expediently deal with these matters.
No other parties to this proceeding have voiced any concern about these significant matters; OCRE's participation will surely aid in the development of a sound record. Although the inclusion of othese contentions may broaden the issues, the extent of delay resulting thereby is highly speculative. Since the evidentiary hearing is not scheduled until November of this year, and this Intervenor expects slippage at that, there should be no delay-or resulting prejudice to the other parties by the inclusion of these matters in the proceeding. These factors thus favor the admission of these three contentions into this proceeding.
