Dear Sir or Madh$,

%.ix f s
! write on behalf of the quad-City Alliance for Saf e.:nergy and Survival and in doing so, I hereby nove to intorvene.-tith rcspect to the request to the Nuclear Regulatory Comission by the Jommonwealth Edison Com-cany for modification to the spent fuel storage cool at the Quad-Cities Nuclear Generating Station Unit Nos.1&2 located in Cordova, Illinois.
I request that a hearing be grcnted concerning this proposal so other interested individuals and organizations can participate.
The following are contentions and other said interests concern-ing Cc:T.onwealth Edicon Conpany's request.
1 ) Tha storage of additional radioactive spent fuel at the Quad-Cities site may create a hazard to the citizens in both the state of Iowa and Illinois.
- 2) The information submitted by the Licensee (Connonwealth Edi-sen) in support of its request is inadequate for there is no indication on the effects of long tern storage of large amounts of spent fuel.
- 3) The Licensee has made no showing ; hat it will be financially capable of meeting the costs of eventual discosal of the spent fuel wastes which it intends to store in the expanded spenc fuel pool, a.) The request by the Licensee fails to discuss neither the con-cinusd integrity of the spent fuel rods during long term storage in the pool l
nor oossible increased radiocetive releases from loss of rod in egrity, which 1
may create difficulties in moving cnd shinoing the rods fron the site af ter a prolonged storage period.
- 3) The request :ces not give sufficient data to fully assess the l
durability and perfornance of the Borcl stainless s:cel rods 'thich form the l
spent fuel storage rac;:s in the followins e::Snples :
A. Corroton rate of the racks.

- 3. Effect of the. tater chenistry on the 3eral within the rack:

- 6) The severe consequences due to an earthquake, which some earthquake scientists at the St Louis University and the Midwest Research Insti.
tute feel tnat the Missiscippi valley is ripo for a na.jor earthquake. If one we:
l to oocur and ccuse a considerable enount of danage, che release of radioactive.
material would have detrimental effects not only to the stace of Illinois but I8106040 W6

- 7) The Licensee has failed to discuss monitoring procedures ade-quately.
- 6) The croposed expanded fuel storage configuration does not pos itively preclude the possibility of criticality in the spent fuel pool.
- 9) The Licensee has f ailed to discuss potential occupacional hazard from exposure to increased radiation emanating from defective fuel store in the pool.
- 10) The Licensee has f ailed to include anti-sabota6e and security plans, so that there is no assurance that adequate protection has been develope 11 ) The Licensee has also f ailed to include a final environmental impact statement.
- 12) The evaluation of additional radiological impacts offsite due to the proposed expansion of the spent fuel pool is inadequate.
As these contentions are in part based upon doc uments which may be superseded, modified, or supplemented before or during a hearing on this matter, I request to respectfully reserve the right to modify, amend, add or delete contentions.
Thanic you, Ilobert Romic f
