BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICNSING BO J., ~., n uo.b.0cf'M BR in the matter of:

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF Docket Nos.

50-443 OL NEW HAMPSHIRE, et al 50-444 OL (Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2)

SAPL RDTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF DENTAL OF SAPL SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENTION 5 The Seacoast Anti-Pollution League (hereinafter "SAPL") moves for reconsideration of the Order issued by this Board on September 13, 1982 insofar as it denied SAPL Supplemental Contention 5, which reads as follows:

"The lead Applicant and certain other Applicants, including

~

United Illuminating and Bangor Hydro, cannot demonstrate reasonable assurance that they are financially qualified to meet the cost of operating and decommissioning the proposed facility.

The Board denied this contention stating that recent amendments to 10 C.F.R.

650:33(f) prohibited litigation of issues concerning financial qualifications in operating license proceedings.

SAPL asserted "special circumstances" within the meaning of 10 C.F.R. 62.758(b) to overcome this prohibition, and stated:

L B402140151 840210 PDR ADOCK 05000443 O

PDR s

f

...,/

1

"In addition, SAPL states its contention to protect this position in the event that the new regulaton is revoked or held invalid."

In its decision of February 7, 1984, the D.

C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a challenge to the elimination of the Commission's financial qualification regulation.

SAPL urges-the Board to admi t its Supplemental Contention 5 on the basis originally stated.

Since Apri 20, 1982, further evidence indicates that Public Service Company of New Hampshire is financially unqualified; SAPL reserves the right to amend its Contention 5 in the event that the Board requires current evidence of reaffirmation of the basis.

For tile reasons set forth ebove, SAPL prays that this Board reverse its Decision and admit SAPL Supplemental Contention 5.

Respectfully submitted, Seacoast Anti-Pollution League By itr. attorneys, BACKUS, SHEA & MEYER
