Joint Contentions At the prehearing conference petitioners Chapel Hill Anti-Nuclear Group Effort (CHANGE)/ Environmental Law Project (ELP), Conservation Council of North Carolina (CCNC), Kudzu Alliance (Kudzu) and Wells Eddleman proposed a number of joint contentions which consolidated and/or superceded various contentions previously proposed by the four petitioners --

" Joint Contentions of Intervenors" dated July 13, 1982 (" Joint Contentions").

During conference negotiations, Petitioners, Staff and Applicants agreed to the wording of Joint Contentions I (Management Capability) and VII (Steam Generators).1/

Joint 1/

Contention I (Management Capability) at Tr. 236-37:

"The Applicants have not demonstrated the adequacy of their managing, engineering, operating and maintenance personnel to safely operate, maintain and manage the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant as evidenced by their record of safety and performance at their other nuclear power facilities.

A pattern of management inadequacies and unqualified and/or inadequ-ste staff is likely to be '

reproduced at Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant and result in health and safety problems."

Contention VII (Steam Generator) following Tr. 229:

" Applicants have failed to demonstrate that the steam l

generators to be used in the Harris Plant are adequately designed and cad be operated in a manner consistent with the public health and safety and ALARA exposure to maintenance personnel in light of (1) vibration problems which have developed in Westinghouse Model D-4 steam gen-erators; (2) tube corrosion and cracking in other Westinghouse steam generators with Inconel-600 tubes and/or carbon steel support plates and AVT water chem-istry; (3) present detection capability for loose metal or other foreign objects; and (4) existing tube failure ana-lyse s.

Ms. Lotchin's proposed contentions were discussed during the Prehearing Conference at Tr.79-105.

Citizens Against Nuclear Power (CANP) proposed Contention 7 as stated in CANP's June 28,,1982 " Supplement to Petition for Leave to Intervene" awaits ruling by the Board and was discus-sed during the Prehearing Conference at Tr. 307-15.11/

Staff and Applicants have agreed to admit Intervenor Richard Wilson's Contention I(a)-(d).12/

The remaining contentions proposed by Dr. Wilson in his May 14, 1982

" Contentions of Petitioner to Intervene, Richard D. Wilson M.D."

await ruling by the Board and were disc'ussed at the following transcript pages:

i 11/

Mr. Slater Newman, CANP representative, stated that CANP proposed contentions 1-6 would not be discussed at the Prehearing Conference because they were offered in support of the contentions proposed by Mr. Eddleman.

(Tr. 48) 12/

Dr. Wilson agreed that the underlined portion is the basic statement of his contention.

(Tr. 106)

That portion as stated in his May 14, 1982 filing is as follows:

(a) The extent and impact of chlorine dispersal is not adequately defined. (b) The chlororganic compounds dispur-sed in cooling tower evaporation may be toxic to the sur-rounding biosphere.

(c) The sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide added to correct pH may be toxic to the surround-ing biosphere.

(d) These 'other chemicals' could include biocides added to cooling tower water which could be toxic to the biosphere."

Applicants in their June 15, 1982 " Response to Supplement to Petition to Intervene by Richard D. Wilson, M.D."

suggest the following wording for Wilson Contention I(a)-(d):

, Applicants have not adequately considered the impacts on the surrounding orchard ecosystems (including impacts on plants and bees) of the following components which may be present'in cooling tower vapor dispersed to the environs of the Harris Plant: (a) chlorine, (b) chlororganic com-pounds, (c) sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and (d) any other biocides that will be added to the cooling tower water which could be toxic to the orchard ecosystems.

NRC Staff in its June 22, 1982 "NRC Staff Response to Supplemental Statements of Contention by Petitioners to Intervene," originally stated that Wilson contention I(f.)

should be admitted.

During the Prehearing Conference, however, Mr. Wilson redefined his contention and NRC Staff responded they now see no issue in controversy.
