Re: Millstone Nuclear Power Station. Unit No. 3 Docket No. 50-423 <

Construction Permit No. CPPR-113, as Amended ,

Amendment to License Application and Application for l Amendment to Construction Permit Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Energy Reorganization. Act of 1974, and the Rules and Regulations of the United States

. ' Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the " Commission") issued thereunder, in par-ticular 10 C.F.R. $$2.101, 50.30, 50.60, and 50.90, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (the " Company") hereby (i) amends its application for an operating license. and such other permits and licenses as may be required for the con-struction and operation of the above-referenced facility, Millstone Nuclear Power Station Unit No. 3 (" Millstone Unit No. 3"), and the possession, use, and disposition of nuclear materials in connection therewith, and (ii) applies for and requests the approval of the Commission of an Amendment to Class 103 Construc-tion Permit No. CPPR-113, as previously amended, to permit a transfer from Public Service Company of New Hampshire ("PSNH") of a 1.7391% ownership share (20 MW) in Millstone Unit No. 3 to the Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative ("CMEEC") .

This application (three signed originals, undce oath, and nineteen copies) is being submitted by the Company on behalf of all current participants in the project, including PSNH and CMEEC (collectively the " Applicants").

Pursuant to Section 50.32 of the Commission's regulations, the Applicants l

hereby incorporate by reference and make a part of this application the Power of Attorney or Designation of Agent by each of the respective current partici-pants, including PSNH, appointing the Company attorney-in-fact or agent, as appropriate, for the purpose of filing applications for a construction permit, '

related permits and licenses, and all amendments thereto. Enclosed herewith THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS l

r81061806q h P00R QUAUTY PAGES 1.- , , - . - , , . , . . . - . _ . . - , - . _ - - . , . . . - , _ . , , , . - , . , , . - - - ,. .-

are copies of a Designation of Agent executed by CMEEC, appointing the Company agent for the purpose of filing this application and all amendments thereto. The use of such Powers of Attorney and Designations of Agent is consistent with procedures used in connection with the original Construction Permit Application for Millstone Unit No. 3 (Docket No. 50-423).

This amendment and application for transfer is in compliance with Paragraphs 50.80(a) and (b) of the Commission's regulations. Its purpose is to provide for the addition of CMEEC as an applicant for all licenses previously requested and for the transfer to CMEEC by PSNH of a 1.7391% ownership share in Millstone Unit No. 3.

CMEEC, the proposed transferee from PSNH, is a public corporation, a public body corporate and politic and political subdivision of the State of Connec-ticut, organized under Chapter 101a of the Connecticut General Statutes, SS7-233a to 7-233w. CMEEC's present participants are three (3) Connecticut municipalities (the Cities of Groton and Norwich and the Borough of Jewett City)

(collectively " Participants") which own and operate their own municipal electric systems under Chapter 101 of the Connecticut General Statutes, SS7-213 to 7-233, and provide electric power and energy to residential, commercial, and industrial customers within their respective service areas. CMEEC's principal business is the sale of electric power to the three Participants. CMEEC is authorized, among other things, to purchase and sell power, to construct and acquire electric generating facilities, and to finance such purchases, construction, and acquisition'. CMEEC has entered into power supply contracts with the Participants under which CMEEC will supply them with all of their power and energy requirements (beyond that which can be provided from their existing generating facilities) on a "take and pay basis."

CMEEC plans to finance the proposed acquisition and participation in Millstone Unit No. 3 (and certain other projects) through issuing electric system revenue bonds and CMEEC's investment income. The bonds will be fully secured by a pledge of the revenues derived by CMEEC from its "take and pay" power supply contracts with the three Participants. Under the power supply con-tracts, each of the Participants is obligated to make payments to CMEEC for all its costs associated with the delivery of power, including CMEEC's annual cost of participation in the Millstone Unit No. 3 project and associated debt service . CMEEC also has the ability to provide construction funds from internal cash flow. Presently, it is expected that the monies required to finance CMEEC's share of the total capitalized cost of the Millstone Unit No. 3 project will be derived from the proceeds of a single revenue bond issue.

The transfer will in no way affect the ownership interests of, or the operation and control of the Millstone Unit No. 3 project by, the Lead Partici-pants therein (The Connecticut Light and Power Company, The Hartford Electric Light Company, and Western Massachusetts Electric Company) or their financial qualifications to design and construct the project. Accordingly, the proposed transfer will not endanger the health and safety of the public and does not involve any significant increase in the probability of accident, any significant increase in the consequences of an accident, or any significant decrease in the safety margin.

I A' copy of the job progress report describing the status of the Millstone Unit No. 3 project as of March 31, - 1_ 9 81, the most recent such report sent to the ]

Participants in the project, is enclosed' herewith. l CMEEC is submitting with this letter nineteen (19) copies of the Gen-

. eral and Financial Information required by 10 C.F.R. $ 50.33 and Appendix. C ' to 10: C.F.R. Part 50. Because CMEEC and the three Participants have electrical generating capacity of less than 200 MW(e) in' the aggregate, CMEEC is not required to file the antitrust information the Attorney General normally requires under 10 C.F.R. $50.33a and Appendix L to 101 C.F.R. Part 50. In accordance with .10 C.F.R. $2.101(a)(5),' CMEEC is submitting an affidavit setting forth information as to its electrical generating capacity and the electric generating capacity of the Participants.

In accordance with 10 C.F.R. $50.32, the Applicants hereby incor-porate by reference and make a part of this application, the following information contained in previous applications, statements, and reports filed with the I Commission : r

1. General and Financial Information as prescribed by 10 C.F.R.

$50.33 and Appendix C to 10 C.F.R. Part 50, filed as part of the ' application for CPPR-113 and as a part of the prior applica-tions dated October 17, 1975, October 14,1976, April 18,1977, May 9, .1977, and August 25, 1977, for the amendments to CPPR-113 relating to prior transfers of ownership interests in Millstone Unit No. . 3.

2. Information requested by the Attorney General for Antitrust Review as prescribed by 10 C.F.R. $$2.101(a)(5) and 50.33a and Appendix L to 10 C.F.R. Part 50, filed as part of the application for CPPR-113 and as part of the prior applications for amendments to CPPR-113 relating to the prior transfers of ownership interests in Millstone Unit No. 3. -

The proposed transfer is planned to be made, subject to the prior approval of the Commission and other regulatory bodies, in September,1981.

The Applicants, therefore, respectfully request that the Commission schedule review of this Application so that approval may be granted before September 1, 1981.

It is requested that any correspondence with respect to this matter be sent to Northeast Nuclear Energy Company, as follows:

William B. Ellis, President Northeast Nuclear Energy Company P. O. Box 270 Hartford, Connecticut 06101

and copies of all such correspondence be sent to:
