Y- THE '~ SUSQUEHANNA APPLICATION m, . . .

- C,.' .' , Tom Clark's listed coirentsall relate' to the radiological safety ' review

-p 37; '

' 'of the Susquehanna application, and that review was cogleted in ,less i'. -

than 12 months, from April 1,1971, to Parch 17, 1972, well below the

' average time span of most other conte @orary applications. This was

< / 7, ' before the days of acceptance reviews, and Susquehanna was the' first -

project whem the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) was prepared prior to

'. ' . forral review of the application by the ACRS.

'3 _

r.ade publicly available until June 21, 1972, Although the SER was 'not .

l*'; S f time, the most' complete staff review of an application.it represented, at the , a I '- l If it were not 1; - for the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act the case. .

,I .'- would have gone to hearing, and construction permits would have been

.,. issued within a total elapsed time period of something on the order of-15 months, half the time ultimately required.

,- ', t- e

As a consequence of the Calvert Cliffs Court of Appeals decision. ..

Appendix D of 10 CFR 50 was published on September 9,1971, and this: .-

- 1 rule required applicants to file supplements to their already submitted-. .

' Power and Light Cogany slipped this date to June 21,1972, and the.l_ J

' S l.: ,. staff notified it on May 23, 1972, that "your delay in submitting the - w- l i"y '3 - . supplement to the' Environmental Report ultimately affects cogletion . . ,3

, for these pending cases wert filed by November 1971.) (Most supplements Notwithstanding the relatively low priority for which Pennsylvania Power and Light qualified, the environmental review was completed and the Final Environmental Statement (FES) published in 11 months (from July 14,1972, to June 19,1973). The 11-month time span was not i

'above the average for that period of time, but it started well after the radiological safety review was cogleted. 6 Ch h
