and I seet with Donald F. X. Finn. This meeting took pince at W.

Finn's office in San Francisco, California. The rurpose of the j

meeting was to informally <He>* issues of mutus1 interest regard: ng the construction permit applications for hPPSS Nuclear Projects Nos.1, 4, 3 and 5 filed by Washington Public Power Supply Systan. Mr. Finn has filed petitimes to intervens in both

{

the MPPSS Nclear Projects Nos.1 and 4 and the hPPSS Nclear i

Projects Nos. 3 and 5 proceedings. In addition, we were gy.J4 l

to dismee the AEC's reactor licentsing process and the ^1"les for the safety and enrironmental reviews of these applications.

i Farta-ro No. I contains a list of attendees.

i The attandees riiem= sad the contentions in Mr. Finn's petition to intervm e:

(1) the proposed nuclear plant wxtid adversely affect i

his business interests in developing geothersni generating capacity I

in those regicas of the state of Wasidngton where the proposed plants

{

uould be located; (2) the applicant's evaluation of alternate ener27 l

sources (geothemal) is inmi==pata to rule cut geothemal er-sf as a viable alternative; (3) the Pelatary staff's independent

=====%

of alternate energy sources will not provide an adequate basis to detersdne whether geothenmal energy is Crihbla alternative; i

(4) the Atcode Ssfety ar:1 Licensing Board taist consider aspects of the fuel cycle ir. these peHacs baran** radioactive vaste l

storage and transportation affect the public health and safoty.

i Mr. Finn expressed his intent to pursue all of these issues to the l

Federal Courts if necessary to assure that goothermal power piAtion j

gets "a fair shal=" as an alternative to nuclear powter in the pandina pra~-Hags lie clarified the phrase, "successfully applied for," used in his petith (Section II) referring to " Federal geothermal lease (sic)

I in the states of Washington, Oregon ami Idain." He said that the Energy Partners 3974 =pntiention was the only one filai for the particular land in questia. Therefore, when ths Federal Guvu., w t does lease the land, Energy Partners 1974 would LE.the lessor. 'Ib i

date, the Federal Goverment has announced m schedule for leasing l

thia land. We asked Mr. Fim about his claim of developable geo-thermal generating capacity within the time =+=bles plamed for I

the l@PSS nuclear plants. Ile replied that:

i i

(1) h burden of assessing the adequacy of the alternate power l

oval = ~ian is on the Federal Government (ABC). W g a u m t's release of the lands is necessary for contimed develo;went of the gerschermal potaatial. Thetsfore, the Gov.- t itself l

1s. in his a=iaiaa,in, the positim of impeding the development that it is required to objectively assess. He expressed his j

d6 termination to obtain satisfactory resolution of this conflict.

(2)

Delays that have hM to date in le construction ani He-ing of muclear power plants make the applicant's planned

• chadules overly optimistic. T!ss there is actually more time availahle for geotimraal development.

I I

Nr. Pegan asked Mr. Fim to elaborate on the scopo and depth of-geothermal a-M that he would consider =4p+o.

!tr. Fi:m said that the ABC should extensively consult the open litetuture, recognimad experts, including local geologists and volcanologists, and goverment agencies tlnt have pertinent data.

I Mr. Fim informed us that his interest in the licensing process is i

currently limited to the procedural details regarding his participation in the hearing process. Instemi of an explanation,of the licensing l

[

process, we gavo Mr. Finn a package of dooments regsnling the licensing i

process and our review schedules for the tPPSS applications. The contents of this paclago are listed in !!r. closure 'b. 2.
