?"' QUEST FOR E EEARING. We submit that the Commission is obligated under 10 C.F.2d Soc.72 34,as provided in Sec.2.104 and Sec. 2.105, to publish a notice of a hear :

ing or a notice of s. proposed action,s:d the 30 day :otice may not be dispersed with because the amendment does " involve significast ha:s.rds consideration"and "unrevieuwd safety questions",as will be set forth below. Further,ve understand The Atomic Energy Act ,1s Ag g g 4/83,P.L.97-415,Sec.12 (a) allows the Coa-mission to make immediately gan amendment to an operating license,but does not assign a similar authority for a Part 70 license , or amendment.

Sefety Questions . Our Appeal to the Appeal Panel of 3/13/84,1pplication for Contentions on New natter of 2/23/84,1ddition to Contentions of 2/28/84, and Re-sponse to Affidavits of 3/19/94 have all been submitted to this 3 card. In additi ve submit herewith (Exhibit 1.) a copy of a. Feila,Elec. aerial photo of the Lin-erick site (said to be 1983) which shows the grea of the outdooi'fueli storage and the buildings, equipment,and high tension lines adjacent to it which would be in-volved with the stored fuel in the eve:t of the hypothesized railroad explosion.

Te s.lso refer to a new report on" tornado missile effects" sent et 3/22/94 by ?ICc entitled " Ultimate: Eeat Sink E:trene Yi:d Easard italysis". This shows (Table 4-5 nissile distribution in the outdoor Tuel storage and reactor building :ene ,. the inird highest in the study,12,770 missiles. This hazard supplements those we h0 already enumerated from the hypothesized _ railroad explosion.

LeFaye of the NEC submitted in criting turbine in the hearing record 3/22/84 (p.2.16.) describes water entering the and rea c tor buildings fro: the rupture of the tower basin walls. 'I"ni s anter could flow through the :ones of the reactor building and dilute the borated pool water where new fuei is s tored, vie. the drain lines specified in 32C Seg'"I .

I: spec.83-23 and 83-08, 1/16/84,and Finding Rep.G-374 referenced on p.8.,

"..no final resolution regarding corrective action has been achtsved." Unlike the Diablo Ccnyon Plant ( A T.19 -334 p.820) Limerick has two 7 =illion gallon tow er basins and circulating water pipes considerably higher than the plant Erad e and in an cl=ost direct flow path.

C"EER SAFETY QUESTIONS. 52C Inspec. E 84-08,3/13/84 evaluated ?Eco's readiness "to receive, store,and protect the fuel". This report specified unresolved item s in Quality Control,p.4, fire prevention, p5. , and Security.

" wouId constitute an unreasocable risk to the health and safety of the publ The risks set forth above establish that there are unreasonable dangers for the health and safety of the public from to PEco for Limerick, both from granting a Part 70 license for uranius fuel storage outdoors and moving the fuel into the roactor building. In addition there process. are procedural deficiencies in the applicatie We believe the above add up to conclusive weight against g acting a lices f.DGDIES .

We hereby petition the Appeal Soard to reverse 3/6/84, the A313 decisions of 3/16/84 and 3/21/84 and ask that our contentions on fuel transportation and storage at Limerick, 2/23/84 and 2/28/84 be accepted anci scheduled by 131B for discovery and scheduling.

We further petition that the ? art 70 process for Limerick uranius fue l bo reopened and recommenced in keeping with P.L. 703, Chap. le Sec.182 b, and LOC.H.P. ,

Sec. 72 34 with the required :otice and the scheduling of a hearing We request that the 3oard declare a pe. ment stay c the gre.nti:g of a Part 70 license until all of the above has been satisfied. -
