PETITION OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND ATTORNEY GENERAL STEPHEN E. MERRILL TO PARTICIPATE AS AN INTERESTED STATE The State of New Hampshire, by and through its Attorney General, Stephen E.'Merrill, (hereinafter referred to as the=" State"), hereby petitions the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to grant it leave to participate in this proceeding as an interested state pursuant to 10 CFR Section 2.715(c).
The Board heard arguments at the April 21-22, 1987 prehearing-conference on the several' proposed contentions on the application of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation for an amendment to its operating license, to allow an expansion of the storage capacity of' its spent fuel pool.
By its Order of May 26, 1987, the Board ruled on Lne-contentions, admitting three of them.

. In the admitted contentions, the intervenors allege that (1) the Applicant has not demonstrated that both the fuel pool cooling system and the reactor cooling system satisfy the single failure criteria (Contention 1), (2) the fuel pool capacity expansion poses a significant enough risk to the quality of the environment to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (Contention (2),
and (3) the Applicant has failed to analyze adequately the alternatives to its proposal of dry cask storage and independent pool storage (Contention 3).
The State of New Hampshire has an interest in this proceeding and these issues.
The Vermont Yankee facility is located across the Connecticut River from the State of New Hampshire, so that a large portion of the plume exposure emergency planning zone lies within this State.
Consequently, the operation of the facility directly impacts the State of New Hampshire and its citizens.
In view of the foregoing, the State of New Hampshire respectfully requests that this Board grant its petition to participate as an interested state in this proceeding pursuant to 10 C.F.R. Section 2.715(c).
Respectfully submitted, THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE STEPHEN E. MERRILL ATTORNEY GENERAL Date:
