Power Authority's Brief in Support of its Appeal of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's Order Granting Interven-tion and Denying the Power Authority's Request for an Evidentiary Hearing at 3-9 (Apr. 19, 1982) (Appeal Brief).

Although GNYCE has submitted an affidavit from one person alleging raembership,1 this mere recitation of membership does not establish that he " possess [es] all of the indicia of membership in [GNYCE),"2 or "any other connection with [GNYCE]."3 II. GNYCE, AN OPPONENT OF NUCLEAR POWER REGARDLESS OF SAFETY, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THIS PROCEEDING TO DEBATE NUCLEAR POWER The Power Authority incorporates by reference as if fully set forth herein the arguments regarding an organization's purpose in its Appeal Brief at 10-18.

In an antinuclear publication, GNYCE counsels its readers that

1. Af fidavit of Andrew Rosenbloom Authorizing Repre-sentation by the Greater New York Council on Energy, Attach-ment to Amendment to Petition for Leave to Intervene of the Greater New York Council Council [ sic] on Energy ( Dec. 10, 1981).

2. Hunt v. Washington Apple Advertising Commission, 432 U.S. 333, 344 (1977).

3. Health Research Group v. Kennedy, 82 F.R.D. 21, 27

( D. D.C. 1979).

[a]nyone can help create a stable energy future and stop the spread o'd nuclear technology.

Anyone Can, Alternate Currents with the Greater New York Council on Energy, Fall 1980, at.7 (Alternate Currents)

(emphasis added). It believes that the development and use of nuclear power is not in the public interest.

Nuclear power is good for the com-panies that build reactors, those that control the supply of uranium, and the electric utilities that, through state public service laws, earn profits in proportion to their capital invest-ment. Meanwhile, American consumers must pay ever-increasing prices for products made with electricity, struggle against accelerating inflation and a growing health risk, and bear the finan-cial and social costs of high unemploy-ment in an economy that is vulnerable to the whims of uranium and oil suppliers.

Debits and Credits, Alternative Currents at 1, 7. GNYCE claims that "[s]uch basic civil rights as freedom of speech and freedom of the press may have to be sacrificed to main-tain a safe level of public ignorance about nuclear tech-nology and the uses of nuclear substances." Material Unaccounted For, Alternate Currents at 3.

GNYCE's participation in this proceeding would divert attention from the complex issues involved, denigrate the process the NRC has chosen to resolve safety issues at Indian Point, and not be in the public interest.

4-CONCLUSION For the forego reasons, the Power Authority of the State of New York r, 4 that the Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission reverse the f the. Atomic Safety and Licensing Board granting inte .on to the Greater New York Council on Energy.

Respectfully submitted,
