0; b T l Submission Of A Contention Bas'df~ lew Matter Robert Anthony and Friends of..the Earth in the Delaware Valley

-resubmit Contention V-3'in response to the Board's Special Prehearing i Conference Order, dated June 1,1982, which declined to admit this -

contention in its original form, submitted in Nbvember 1981.

The new material is the U.S. Court decision handed down in Washington in January 1982 at the time of the prehearine conference, abote. The court ordered that psychological factors should be con-sidered in the case involving restart of THI,and hence all NRC licen-sing proceedings.

We submit that the plume from the Limerick reactor,1f the plants is licensed to operate,will have a continuing psychological impact on all individuals and social organism within a radius of 10 miles or more from-the plant. This can be made specific in countless ex-amples but for the moment we will limit our setting forth of impact to the following: each change in wind direction or change in heikht of the plant's plume will cause a number of public officials, teachers, police,bustens. owners, local residents, visitors,etc. to observe the change and have disrtipting anxieties come to mind such as,"Has there been an accident at the Limerick nuclear reactor?" "Is this the moment of.the nuclear emergency we have heard about?""Will my family,my I

school,my plant be evacuated?" "What will happen to ny business,my customers?" "Will I.be able to connect with my family,my friends?"

"Will they be safe?" "Will I; will I survive?"

We believe that the psychological impact of the Limerick nuclear '

plant must be evaluated in any process to consider an operating license

! for the plant. He respectfully request that the Board admit this -

contention based on new material, b '
