- The effecti've date of the Couheil's regulations was July 30, !
1979, and the effective date of the Craft Supplement :10 , 1 to the FES on the Febble Springs Muclear Plan Units 1 and 2 was November, 1979. It is clear that the new regulations Of the Council on Environmental Cuality are relevant to this proceeding and that there is a genuine issue to be resolved.

w "Mowevo", it is alFo the intent cf the Cormission that the staff tC: 3 steps to identify additional cases that mi ght warrant early consideration of either additional features or other actions which would prevent or mitigate the Ocncequences of serious acciden'tc. Cases for such considera:1cns are those for which a Final Environmental Statement has already been issued at the Co nstruc tion. ?e rmit stage out for which the Opening license review stage has not yet been reached."
It is Forelaws On Board's contention that this proceeding represents just such a case and one in which it is demonstrated that there is no apparent need for a rush to conclusion of an inadequate analysis of site alternatives. The choice of site alternatives represents those " actions which would prevent or mitigate the consequences of serious accidents." It is obvious that the preparation of an adequate analysis can lead to a site location best fitted to provide high quality accident response as well as mitigation of accident impacts upon all aspects of the environment.
We would note that this is echoed in the U.S. Department of Interior's January 13, 1980 commentsHon the draft supplement wherein it is n-stated that:
"We feel that site' specific consequences of reactor accidents should be among the key issues, both in the applicants '
site selection process.and in the staff's evaluation of that process." (Final supplement No. 1 to the FES related to the construction of Pebble Springs Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, E-3 4)
Under the circumstances we do not believe that the Board can i
i ignore this issue and believe it is incumbent that an examination of class 9 accidents be introduced at this tire in this portion of the proceeding.
II7 Forelmes On roard has reviewe d coth t!.e aci:licc.nts ' "Respense i
l to Joard's Order of April 20, 1301" and the "UEC Otaff */iows on Ap,nli c an t r ' ilesponse to Board's Order of 4/ 2B/01. " T!te Applicant raises :

3111, a*:.d construc tion progress on tne Cc1 strip 3 anc 4 and vi?PSS No. 3 units," all of which need further examination :y this Scard.
