UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION in the Matter of
)
) Docket No. 50-219 JERSEY CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
)
STATEMENT OF POSITION General Electric Company is the contractor for Jersey Central Power and Light Company for the design and construction of the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant. General Electric is also engaged in the manufacture and sale generally of botling water nuclear power plants l
1 nuclea r boile r s, and nuclear fuel. For both of these reasons General l
Electric has a significant interest in this proceeding and in the admin-istration cf the Commission's licensing and regulatory program It is General Electric 's position that for the rea sons stated in i
I the 1 etition for Review and accompanying Brief of the AEC egula tor y 4
Stati and in the applicant's Reply thereto, the Initial Decision and Ord er e
of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ts in error in its requir e me.it for the submittal to the Boa rd of additional information and design de tail s,
particularly those relating to the cos e design, as a condition upon the provisional construction permit.
The Board's e rror involve s a rmsconcepmn of what is necessaryor pret ticable in terms of the u
O O
s 2-j level of development of design details for a project such as Oyster Creek at the construction permit stage of the Commission's licensing process. As applicant has nottd, the conditions upon the provisional construction permit flowing from this error would add a burdensome complexity to that process in the instant case, m
The Board's Initial Decision and Order could have far-reaching and disturbing implications for the future administration of the Com-mission's regulatory prog ram. General Electric is entirely confident that, if necessary. the conditions upon the pronsional construction permit imposed by the Board in this case can and will be met. But the requirernent for the submittal of this information and data to the Board constituted to 3 view ine app.ication !or a construction permit isunnecessary. Exteting procedures, inc1; ding ACRS and Staff Review, aad the neces sity to qualify for an operating license, fully prote ct the inte re sts of the public, the Commis sion, and the industry in the safety of nuclea r plants.
Further review of cesign details by the construction permit Board would be a distortion ut the regulatory and licensing program contemplated by the Act and the Commission's regulations which, a s a precedent, could have serious adverse effects on the Commission's regulatory prot ram.
General Electric dees not believe such a change
?

O O
3 in existing nrocedure is either necessary or desirable If this change is to be made, however, it should not be effe t d b ce y a Board decision but by changes in regulatio:ia upon which all interest ed members of the industry could be heard in advance.
For the foregoing reasons, General Electric Company r e spe ct -
fully requests the Commission to:
(1) Accept this Statement of Position in this proceedi ng.
(2)
Grant the Regulatory Staff's Petition for Review (3) Permit Ge neral Electric, in the event the Petition for Review is so granted, to file a brief within the period spec tfied for filing a reply brief, and to partici pate othe r wise a s ma y t,e app r opriate, upon the Com-mis sion's re view of the Bca rd's initial Dec t hion and Order.
Respectfully submitted, GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY B yj,.
