Shon Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Dockets No. 50-247-SP U.

S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 50-287-SP At:

Public Prehearing Conference - Amendment to Intervenor Application of Nov. 2.

Gentlemen:

With refrence to the statement of the Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of November 24, 1981, we hereby. submit affidavits from members that state they are members of the West Branch Conservation Association and an affidavit from the Recording Secretary relating the time and date of Directors' meeting where a motion was passed to participate in these proceedings in order to represent the interests of the members.

Regarding the contentions which we put forth:

1. Injury to our members has already-taken place in that there is no workable emergency plan in place to date and we have expected one before this date.

No measures have been taken to assuage the fears of the members' health and safety to an extent that any plan is in place.

Persons who presented the plans to us at meetings and who represented the companies hired to confect plans were so unbelievable that our members lost confidence in safety measures put forth for emergencies in many ways, whether evacuation or not.

2.

Therefore, we have listed the contentions we considered outstanding in our first application of November 2, 1981.

We had not been more specific because we were not arguing our case on application.

We expect to offer witnesses who will butress our assertions.

The argument that our contentions are too general is not timely.

We have taken our contentions from the Emergency Plan's own index.

If our contentions are too general then so is tne Plan. 8112170280 e11266 QDRADocK 05000247 PDR

^

WCCA - paga 2 3.

We agree to withdraw 5d. since it is generic and~we have enough other contentions without it.

4. Our very lives, our homes and our health are all in possible jeopardy.

Most of our membership lives within' the ten mile EPZ.

We cannot see how anyone can construe that we are not clearly threatened or affected by whatever is done for us or to us where we live.

To say that we are not pro-viding sufficient injury is a farce.

If our homes became irradiated we would have no way of returnin'g to them or of financial recompense.

Since the plan cannot assure us that the risk and probability is nil, we are threatened every day.

5.

Our organization is a membership association., nowhere did our application use the word " sponsor."

The NRC Staff implied that our members might not be members. We did not so aver.

6.

The certificate of Service states the title of Sec-retary which should also have been on the application to intervene, under the name of Zipporah S. Fleisher and which is amended by the accompanying statement from Joan H. King, Recording Secretary.

7. In regard to NRC's Sept. 18 Memorandum and Order and that of January 8, WBCA contends that the risks surrounding -

Indian Point are greater than that of many other operating stations due to the design and condition of the stations. We i

expect to provide witnesses to illustrate that the condition and design are riskier than many other stations.

8. We request that all documents referenced in the Orders governing these hearings be placed in the New City Library, North Main Street, New City, N.Y. 10956., as well as a copy of the daily stenographic minutes (transcript). New City is the County seat of Rockland. We would be severely handicapped were we to have to drive to White Plains for references.

(NUREG-0715, NUREG - CR-0400, NUREG - 0654 Revised, etc.)

9. We agree to supply one copy each to Con-Ed and PASNY of our documents.

Our income is limited and we would find it-a financial hardship when.the time comes to offer testi-j mony to have to supply three each as requested. We do not I

have free copying equipment.

To whom it may concern:

The West Branch Conservation Association is a not-for-profit corporation filed in 1971 with the New York Department of State.

The by-laws call for an annual membership meeting which we have never failed to have.

At the meeting the Directors are elected.

The by-laws provide for the usual requirements spelling out'how meetings are eniled, notice, quorums, etc.

The membership operates the Association and dele-gates the usual duties to the officers and directors.

In the~past we have received grants from America The Beautiful, New York State Council On The Arts, the New York State Consumer Protection Board and Scenic Hudson.

We have appeared as parties in interest since 1974 before the Public Service Commission of New York State and the New York State Department of Environmental Con-servation, bringing our witnesses and preparing our own cases following them through from start to finish.
