~ OCRE RESPONSE TO STAFF AND APPLICANT. ANSWERS TO OCRE's ~ MOTION TO RESUBMIT ITS CONTENTION.#2
. Pursuant to the Licensing Board's October 6, 1982 Memo-randum and Order (Concerning Procedures for" Late-Filed
_1/ - Contentions), Ohio Citizens for Responsible' Energy ("OCRE") hereby responds fo the answers filed by the NRC Staff-2/ and 3/ Applicants "to OCRE's September 16 Motion to Resubmit' Its Contention #2. The Staff has fundamentally misunderstood th'e thrust of OCRE's motion..OCRE is not contending that the Division 3 HPCS diesel generator should be replaced, as Staff asserts (Staff Response at 4) , but rather that another, 7000 kW 1/ OCRE has .found it necessary to include some new material In this brief that was not cited in the original motion. The attached article is included because it is necessary to demon-strate the unreliability.of Delaval diesel engines and because it was. not av,ailable to OCRE at the time 1xf the September 16 filing. ,'- _2/ "NRC Staff Response to OCRE Motion to' Resubmit Rejected Proposed Contention 2" dated October 6, 1983, " Staff Response". 3/ " Applicants' Answer to Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy Motion to Res'ubmit Its Contention #2" dated October 3,1983,

standby diesel generator be added to the two already present, bringing the total number of 7000kW diesels per unit at Perry to - three - (four diesel generators total, counting HPCS) . OCRE maintains that the smaller HPCS diesel generator should not be considered in. evaluating the reliability of on-site AC power. The HPCS diesel generator instead should be considered an auxiliary to the HPCS system. OCRE did not advocate the re-placement of the HPCS diesel generator. On the contrary, the HPCS diesel generator should be left intact as it is essential to the operation of that ECCS subsystem. Applicants claim that the contention lacks basis. They claim that the Shoreham difficulties are due to a design and/or practices specific to that plant. They also state, without citation to reliable authority, that the Perry diesel engines have longer crankshafts, larger crankpin diameters, and lower 4/ torsional stresses than those at Shoreham7 Applicants' Answer at 9, note 3. However, the Staff states that the crankshafts are of the same general design. Staff Response at 5. Applicants and Staff also assert that the reportable
' deficiencies cited by OCRE either have been (or will be) resolved or are not applicable to PNPP. OCRE does not disagree 5/
with this; however, OCRE believes that the large number of 4/ Assuming these statements are true, the lower torsional stresses may not be a factor favoring safety. It is important to note that, at Shoreham, the two cracked crankshafts probably would not'have'been detected had the third not failed. If material or design defects are the cause, lower torsional stresses could cause lower crack growth rate, such that testing of the diesels would not cause failure; the cracks would go undetected until failure, which might occur during an accident when the diesels are needed. 5/ next page---
o- _a_ deficiencies discovered relating to the Delaval diesels are an indication of their unreliability. See also the attached article, which tells of a high rate of failures in Delaval l 1 engines used in ships. Having both standby diesel generators l made by a firm with so many failures and problems increases the vulnerability of common-mode failure .due to substandard l quality. Thus, it can be questioned whether the intent of GDC 17, regarding independence and redundancy, has really been met. Applicants state'that the testing experience at Grand Gulf should be more relevant to Perry than that at Shoreham since the Grand Gulf diesels are identical to Perry's. Applicants' Answer at 16. It is of interest to note Attachment G to the Staff's Response, which states that, at Grand Gulf, a fuel oil line broke, thereby shutting down the engine and starting a fire. It is also significant that, of the 15 plants utilizing Trans-america.Delaval. engines, only four (San Onofre, Shoreham, Grand Gulf, and Comanche Peak) have conducted any testing. The l l number and severity of the deficiencies discovered from only a l few diesels substantiates OCRE's concerns. As to the five f actors of 10 CFR 2.714 (a) (1) , OCRE believes that Staff and Applicant arguments lack merit. Applicants _5/ OCRE does not claim good cause for late filing based on these reports; rather, they were cited as additional basis for the contention. Curiously, the Staff first (. Staff Response at , 6) dismisses the reportable occurrences as a basis for the contention, i and then (Id. at 7) claims that OCRE has not acted in a timely l manner (not meeting the good cause requirement of 10 CFR 2.714 i Cal (.11 ) because these occurrences had been reported for some time. The Staff cannot have it both ways. L
_4_ appear to claim that the fact that they will comply with NRC regulatory requirements somehow negates the second factor, concerning the availability of other means by which to protect OCRE's interests. Applicants' Answer at 7. Although this argument would be better addressed to the fourth factor, the e'xtent to which OCRE's interests will be protected by others, there too it fails. To claim that an adversary party (Applicants) is protecting OCRE's interests is absurd. Applicants may mean that the Staff is protecting OCRE's interests, as the Staff itself claims. Staff Response at 8. While this Licensing Board and others have held that the Staff supposedly represents the public interest (LBP-81-24, Special Prehearing Conference Memorandum and Order, at 41), it has also been held that, this point notwithstanding, the Staff cannot be expected to pursue all issues with the same diligence as an intervenor would pursue its own issue; furthermore, the issue would not be resolved in an adjudicatory context. Cincinnati Gas and' Electric (Zimmer Nuclear Power Station), LBP-79-22, 10 NRC 213, 215 (1979) . . Also, OCRE does not believe that the 1 Staff represents its interests. This should be obvious, or OCRE l l would not be a party to this proceeding. The Staff ~also states that the Licensing Board at the OL stage should not duplicate the Staff's efforts, on uncontested issues. Staff Response at 8. However, OCRE, by filing the contention, has made diesel generator reliability a contested issue. The Staff, in addressing the second factor of 10 CFR 2.714 (a) (.1) , states that other means, such as the submission of a
petition under 10 CFR 2.206, exist whereby OCRE can protect its rights. However, that remedy should not be used when the matter can be dealt with in the OL proceeding. Commonwealth Edison (Byron 7tation, Units 1 and 2), DD-81-5, 13 NRC 728 (1981); Long Island Lighting Co. (Shoreham Nuclear Power Station) DD-81-9, 13 NRC 1125 (1981). Both Staff and Applicants claim that OCRE has failed to meet the third test, OCRE's ability to contribute to a sound record, since the Licensing Board rejected the contention at the Special Prehearing Conference because OCRE showed no special competence at that time. OCRE believes that its competence now, not at the start of this proceeding, should be evaluated here. The Staff goes even further, citing cases which purportedly would require OCRE to identify witnesses (and summarize their testimony) it intends to call on the issue. Staff Response at
- 9. While OCRE cannst comment on ALAB-743 since it has not seen it, the Summer cases (as well as the Greenwood and Grand Gulf decisions) apply to the situation where a petitioner has filed a late petition to intervene, and the question becomes one of l
l admitting a party, not an additional contention. The third factor would obviously be more important in that situation (although the five factors are to be used here as well) . To employ the Staff's suggestion would violate the precedent set in' Houston Lighting and Power (Allens Creek), ALAB-590, 11 NRC 542 (.19 8 0 )': that an intervenor need not prove its case at the outset, when submitting contentions. It is improper to expect more than a basis for the contention at this time.
Furthermore, as to the value of OCRE's participation on this issue, the Appeal Board has held that public participa-tion through~ intervention is a positive factor in the licensing process and.that intervenors perform a valuable function. See, g.g.,, Virginia Electric and Power Co. (North Anna, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-256, 1 NRC 10, 18 at n.9. , _ Finally, it should be noted that, when an especially strong showing has been made on the first factor of 10 CFR 2.714(a) (1) , good cause for late filing, the showing necessary on the other four factors of that section is attenuated. Puget Sound Power and Light Co. (Skagit Nuclear Power Project, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-523, 9 NRC 58, 63 (1979). Thus, even though OCRE believes that the other four factors favor the admission of the contentien, they need not be considered controlling, as OCRE has good cause for the resubmission of the contention, the motion for which was filed as soon as was reasonably possible after the receipt d l of Information Notice 83-58. OCRE therefore concludes that the contention should be admitted. Respectfully submitted',
