ANNUAL REPORT ON COMMt SION ADJUDICATION j
Purcose:
To provide the Commission a perspective on the adjudicatory caseload and the Commission's role in adjudication from January through December 1997, Introduction' b
At the NRC, the Commission alone is authorized to review the decisions of pres! ding officers I
and Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards in agency proceedings. The Office of Ccmrnission Appellate Adjudication (OCAA) assists the Commission in its adjudicatory role. The 1
Commission may exercise its appellate authority to review Licensing Board decisions either L
when a dissatisfied party to an NRC adjudicatory proceeding seeks review, or when the
{
Commission, on its own initiative, determines that review is warranted. The Commission also E
haa original jurisdiction to offer guidance to the Licensing Board on significant novel qJestions g
raised in a proceeding. In addition, the Commission resolves those occasionallegal matters
'd that appropriately should be resolved in the first instance directly by the Commission.
As part of OCAA's monitoring role over adjudicatory matters, I am providing the Commission this report on agency adjudications for calender year 1997. This report updates information 7
jj j~
contained in tha last report (SECY-97-026, Jan. 30,1997), and is based upon the information
(/
g in the attached charts.
General Cbservations and Trends g The workloads of both the Licensing Board and the Commission increased in 1997, as o n.
measured by the number of final decisions issued. This increase in 1997 likely stems from two g"
factors. One, the number of riew proceedings is up. In 1996, there were 9 proceedings F
initiated. Last year we saw 13 new proceedings referred to the Licensing Board. Secondly, the
- 1 Licensing Board and the Commission issued several decisions in 1997 resolving long-pending n- >-
kU$*
matters in the Louisiana Energy Services (LES) proceeding.

2 In the past two years, the Licensing Board's final decisions noticeably has increased - from 8, 14, and 13 in the years 1993,1994, and 1995, respectively, to 19 in 1996 and 23 last year. The Commission, too, saw an increase in its adjudicatory workload this year. Following some years of a declining caseload, the number of Commission decisions and pending matters increasej slightly in 1997. This year the Commission issued 15 decisions,7 involving the complex and vcluminous Louisiana Enerov Services proceeding. Three other major LES rulings are almost completed and expected to be issued in early 1998: on (1) " environmental justice,' (2) decommissioning funding, and (3) the environmentalimpact statement's description of the need for the CEC facility.
The adjudicatory caseload continues to shift away from reactor licensing matters to enforcement and materials licensing actions. New proceedings referred to the Lice.. sing Beard in the past two years (Jan.1996 through Dec.1997), for example, can be catalogued as
' follows:
Enforcement:
9 Materials Licensing:
5 Reactor Operator Licensing 3
Reactor Licensing:
2
- ISFSI Licensing:
2 Decommissioning:
1 Most proceedings end well before a final decision on the merits, often after a settlement agreement. One significant proceeding terminated this year following a settlement. DQu.Qyah Fuels Corocration and General Atomics concluded in October 1997, after the Commission approved settlement agreements reached between the NRC staff and General Atomics, and the 4
NRC staff and Sequoyah Fuels. Of the 13 new adjudicatory cases in 1997, seven already have terminated; four ended after either a settlement or some voluntary withdrawal of intervention; two after a finding that the petitioner lacked standing to intervene; t.iu one after a final Board decision on the merits.
' he lengthiest proceedings tend to involve numerous matters in contention, an extensive case record, and often have had delays requested by one er more of the parties. This year the Commission hopes to conclude its review of the various Licensing Board decisions in the Louisiana Enerav Services materiallicensing proceeding, which began in 1991 but M not get started in eamest until 1994, after the NRC staff had completed its licensing and environmental 4
3 documents. Another new proceeding promises to be equally contentious and complex.
Currently still before the Licensing Board, the Private Fuel Storace. LLC proceeding concerns an application for an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), to be located on the Skull Valley Goshute Indian Reservation in Skull Valley, Utah. This proceeding involves a dispute between different bands of the Gost e Native American Indian tribe, one favoring the application and the other opposing it. A largt amber of petitioners seek intervention, including the state of Utah. The matters in contention ars numerous.
From a " lessons leamed" perspective, wa believe that exceptionally complex proceedings perhaps may be expedited by a more vigorous Commission supervisory role in providing appropriate guidance to the Board and parties, as it did last year in the Yankee decommissioning case. Een CLl 96-1,43 NRC 1 (1996). In addition, it is sometimes appropriate for the Commission to establish deadlines for the Board to complete work on particular issues or cases, as it did this year in two LES decisions. Sam CLl-97-11,46 NRC _;
CLI-97-3,45 NRC 49 (1997). OCAA will continue to monitor the adjudicatory caseload and be on the lookout for opportunities to exercise the Commission's supervisory role.
OCAA expects that enforcement proceedings will continue to represent a large portion of the adjudicatory caseload. Along with a continued increase in enforcement proceedings, there may be an increase in the number of hearings challenging an enforcement order's immediate effectiveness. The Commission since 1992 has permitted licensees to challenge not only the underlyin0 basis for an order modifying, suspending, or revoking a license, but also the order's immediate effectiveness. By rule, the Commission provides the opportunity for a preliminary, expeditious hearing to assure that the staff had at least minimally " adequate evidence" for imposing an immediately effective suspension or revocation. Een 10 C.F.R. @ 2.202(c). If the staff's evidence is shown to have been based upon an error, unfounded allegations, or mere suspicion, the immediate effect of the enforcement order can be set aside pending a fuller he 3 ring on the merits of the order.
In 1997, there was one such "immediate effectiveness" hearing, in 6hRLon. Ben-Haim. Ph.D.
the Licensing Board upheld she immediate effect of the staff's suspension order. A hearing on the merits is expected early this year. Of note, this proceeding and a related enforcement proceeding, Maadv Elamir. M.D.. have been referred by the NRC staff to the Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution. Both proceedings have been stayed - without l
objection - pending preliminary inquiries by DOJ. If DOJ fails to make an expeditious l
determination on whether to pursue criminal charges, there might be further requests for stays l
of the merit proceedings. Enforcement proceedings that are repeatedly stayed - and thereby l
repeatedly delayed - can be problematic, particularly if a stay is opposed. At some point, we j
expect to see an appeal challenging a stay of an enforcement proceeding.
l The aging of power reactor facilities also may impact the adjudicatory caseload. We may see increased requests for license renewals, which, if challenged, logically could result in new license renewal hearings. Plant closures and consequent decommissioning could also lead to new hearings, particularly license amendment proceedings, if the existing reactor operating license does not authorize a particular decommissioning-related activity.
Among the most significant Commission decisions in 1997 were the following:
l l
I
4 o
CLI 97-13, Sequoyah Fuels Corooratiq. and General Atomics: The Commission approved settlement agreementt.setween the NRC staff and General Atomics and the NRC staff and Sequoyah Fuels. This decision provided precedent setting guidance on the factors the agency considert when determining whether to approve a settlement of an enforcement proceeding.
o CLI-9715, Louisiana Enerov Services: Reversing the Licensing Board, the Commission found LES financially qualified to construct and operate the proposed Claiborne Enrichment Center. The Commission, however, also imposed license conditions that will require LES to fulfill financial commitments it has made in this proceeding. For Part 70 license applicants, the Commission found that the more strict Part 50 financial qualifications standards did not necessarily apply as a matter of law.
Instead, what Part 70 envisioned was for a case-by-case inquiry into whether the applicant appears to be financially qualified to take all safety measures necessary to assure no undue risk to public health and safety, CLI-97-10, Raloh L. Tetrick: The Commission reversed a ruling by the Presiding Officer o
that had required the NRC staff to issue a senior reactor operator license to Mr. Tetrick.
The Commission concluded that the authority to round up an examination score lay with the NRC staff, not the Presiding Officer. The Presiding Officer had rounded up Mr.
Tetrick's score, resulting in Mr. Tetrick having a passing score, instead of the failing score the staff had given him.
o CLl 97-6, Ihe Regents of the Univarsity of California: The Regents of the University of Califomia demanded that the Commission pay approximately $100,000 in attorney fees and expenses incurred in defending two private tort suits, stemming from alleged releases of radioactivity during routine operations of the NRC-licensed Argonaut nuclear test reacto at UCLA between 1979 and 1984. The Commission denied the indemn;ty claim, and la doing so provided legal background on and clarified some seldom invoked provisions of the Price-Anderson Act.
Significant issues currently pending on appeal before the Commission include the following:
Louisiana Energy Services (Claiborne Enrichment Center)
" Environmental Justice' an o' EPA issues.
In LBP-97-8, the Licensing uvard found that the NRC staff had failed to investigate adequately allegations of racial discrimination in the siting of the proposed Claiborne Enrichment Center (CEC). The Board also found that the staff had not considered the potential negative socioeconomic effects of the CEC upon two neighboring African-American communities. The Board ordered the staff to re-investigate the site selection process and to reconsider the socioeconomic impacts, including the need to relocate a local road, and potential effects on property values. The Commission has granted review. Previously, the Commission had granted review to consider NEPA issues decided in LBP-96-25, including the "nced" for the
~
S facility, the 'no-action" alternative, and " secondary benefits.
Quivira Mining Comoany (Ambrosia Lake facility, Grants, NM)
" Competitive Injury" / Standing issue.
This proceeding involves an amendment to Quivira Mining Company's (Quivira) source material license, to permit receipt of Section 11.e(2) byproduct material. Envirocare of Utah, Inc.
requested a hearing on the amendment request. The Licensing Board in LBP-l. ' 20 denied Envirocare's request, finding that Envirocare lacks standing to intervene. Envirocare operates a waste disposal facility at Clive, Utah, about 500 miles from the Quivira facility. Envirocare claims that it will suffer injury as a competitor because the Quivira facility did not have to comply with the same requirements that the NRC required Envirocare to fulfill for its Clive, Utah facility -
- namely, the requirement of a full environmental review under NEPA. Envirocare claims that because the Quivira facility need not comply with the same requirements imposed upon Envirocare, Envirocare will be placed at a severe competitive disadvantage. As Envirocare argues, the alleged economic injury of being at a competitive disadvantage, coupled with purported environmental impacts from the license amendment, are sufficient for standing.
Envirocare also claims standing under the Equal Protection and Substantive Due Process clauses of the U.S, Constitution, claiming that it has suffered injury because of the NRC's disparate treatment of Envirocare and Quivira Mining. Envirocare har appealed the Board's decision. One or more of the issues raised in this appeal may be matters of first impression for the Commission.
Significant cases currently before the Licensing Board Panel that may reach the Commission:
Private Fuel Storage. L.L.C. (Private Fuel Storage Facility): This proceeding involves a materials license application for an independent spent fuel storage installation, to be located on the Skull Valley Goshute Indian Reservation, in Skull Valley, Utah. The state of Utah and several other petitioners are vigorously opposing the license. The Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians supports the ISFSI, but another group of Native Americans who also have contacts within geographic area, the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, oppose the facility. Over 75 contentions have been filed with the Licensing Board on issues including financial qualifications, emergency planning, quality assurance, geotechnical matters, hydrology, radiation exposure, decommissioning and decommissioning funding, inadequate weighing of impacts under NEPA, radiation exposure risks, inadequate studies of environmental impacts, transportation risks, concems relating to Native Americans, and the NRC statutory authority to issue th.s license.
Hydro Resources. Ine; On January 15,1998, petitioners requested the Presiding Officer to stay the effectiveness of the NRC staff's issuance of a materials license to Hydro Resources for an in situ leach (ISL) mine and milling operatica in Church Rock and Crownpoint, New Mexico.
The petitioners seek a stay pending the completion of a hearing on the license application and a review of the historic properties. In short, the petitioners seek a pre-licensing hearing on this source material license. They claim that the license poses the threat of irreparable injury and therefore seek a stay.
6 ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD PANEL o
