GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY'S RESPONSE TO GANE'S AMENDED PETITION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE Licensee Georgia Institute of Technology

(" Georgia Tech")

responds to the Amended Petition for Leave to Intervene in Consideration of Application for Facility License Conversion from High-Enriched Uranium to Low-Enriched Uranium Fuel, filed

-by Georgians Against Nuclear Energy ("GANE") on August 21, 1995 as follows:

1 In its Order dated July 31, 1995, the Board directed GANE, as'.intervenor, to, one, advise that Mr. Robert Johnson, the individual'upon whose; statement of interest GANE's_ claim to standing rests, " wishes GANE to represent his interest in this as well as the renewal. proceeding;" and, two, to set ~forth the

PDR

s f

i contentions it wishes.to assert in this proceeding, including l

~

-the information set forth in 10 C.F.R. S 2.714 (b) and (d).

,In its' Amended Petition, GANE fails to comply with either directive.

With respect to Mr. Johnson, GANE states that it 1

" represents in this proceeding, Robert Johnson,

. His 7

standing has been established in the License Renewal proceeding on this' docket which GANE has maintained since October 1994."

4 GANE'has'not provided.any indication from Mr. Johnson that he 4

wishes GANE to represent him in this proceeding in addition to its representation of him in the renewal proceeding.

It was this indication which the Board specifically directed GANE to supply.

Its. failure to follow this directive constitutes grounds upon which to base a denial of GANE's request for hearing.

With respect to the contentions it seeks to assert in this proceeding, GANE's Amended Petition is vague and difficult to interpret.

GANE states that Georgia Tech "is risking the public health and safety in its conversion plan.

. GANE finds it unacceptable to operate a reactor in the middle of a large population center.

. At the minimum we call on Georgia Tech configure (sic) its reactor properly to receive and use the l

l

' low-enriched uranium fuel."

These statements fall far short of the information which is required by 10 C.F.R. SS 2.714 (b) and

.(d)..

In particular, GANE has failed to provide a brief f

explanation of the contention, a concise statement of the i

I o-a

=

t alleged facts or expert opinion supportive of such contention, or sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute exists on a material. issue of law or fact.

10 C.F.R. 5 2 714 (b) (i),

(11:

and (iii).

For the above reasons and for those stated in the Staff's 1

Response to GANE's Request for Hearing, Georgia Tech respectfully requests that GANE's Amended Petition be dismissed.
