DOCKETED USNRC w MAY -4 P3 :03 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OFPCE OF PEX J.HY before the RuiR 57 oH' NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AM meR' - Q'
- In the Matter of YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY Docket No. 50-029-LA (Yankee Nuclear Power Station)
FRANKLIN REGIONAL PLANNING BOARD'S REPLY TO YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY'S AND NRC STAFF'S ANSWERS TO FRANKLIN REGIONAL PLANNING BOARD'S AMENDMENT BACKGROUND On January 28, 1998, the Commission published a notice of opportunity for hearing under 10 C.F.R. S. 2.105 in respect to the approval of the License Termination Plan
("LTP") for Yankee Nuclear Power Station ("YNPS") submitted by Yankee Atomic Electric Company ("YAEC"). 63 Fed. Reg. 4300,4327. Under date of February 27, 1998, Franklin Regional Planning Board ("FRPB") mailed a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Commission and the office of the General Counsel, with a copy to counsel for YAEC. This letter (the " Planning Board Letter") requested the granting of a hearing on the LTP, which is presently before the Staff for approval under 10 CFR S.

50.82 (a)(10). On March 11,199C YAEC answered through its counsel to the FRPB's request for hearing. On March 16,1998, NRC's staff answered through its counsel. FRPB responded to YAEC's Answer on March 25,1998. On the same date, NRC's Atomic i
Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) issued a Memorandum and order allowing FRPB and the three other petitioners a right to amend their original filings within seven days of the receipt of the order. The time for filing was extended until April 6,1998 by the allowance of a motion by FRPB by the ASLB on March 31,1998. A subsequent motion by the other three petitioners was allowed to extend the time to file as well. FRPB, i .
Citizens Awareness Network, Inc. ("CAN") and New England Coalition on Nuclear l Pollution, Inc. ("NECNP") all served Amendments, but Nuclear Information and i
Resource Service ("NIRS") filed to notify the parties to this proceeding that they were i withdrawing from further involvement. YAEC filed an Answer to the Amendments on April 13,1998 and the NRC Staff filed their Answer on April 14,1998. FRPB's Reply to both Answers follows.
TIMELINESS l YAEC's counsel argues that the ' deadline to file a petition to intervene is limited to the j filing made relative to the original notice published in the Federal Register for an opportunity for a hearing under 10 CFR S. 2.105. On the contrary, the notice clearly allows an interested party to request a hearing and/or to petition for leave to intervene.
The notice can be interpreted to allow an interested party to request a hearing and at a later date, once a hearing has been granted, petition to intervene to gain party status. In 2
L
this instance, the ASLB itself issued an Order dated March 25, 1998 allowing Amendments to the original filings made by the FRPB, CAN, NECNP and NIRS. This was perceived as an attempt to clarify the role each filer intended to play in the ,
proceeding and to overcome any confusion caused by these original filings. The ASLB has the right to use its discretion to solicit Amendments as exercised here. Further, it
- cannot be seen how YAEC could be prejudiced by the inclusion of a petition to intervene at this early stage of the proceeding.
STANDING Both YAEC and the NRC staff have expended an enormous amount of time and energy and paperwork on this particular issue. Their most recent filings concentrate on the wording and the interpretation of the enabling legislation that allowed the twenty-six towns of Franklin County to form their own regional government on July 1,1997 to replace the Franklin County Commission. However, it is the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (" COG") Charter that all twenty-six towns passed at their respective town meetings or equivalent process last spring that dictates the final structure of the COG. It supersedes the enabling statute and reflects exactly what each town approved as l
the structure for the eew form of government. Future amendments to the legislation will eventually reflect the Charter language and provisions, but this has not transpired due to the slowness of the legislative process and the formalization of details that the COG is addressing in its first year ofits existence. The FRPB has drawn on the Charter in 3
[
l*
presenting all its arguments in its previous filings. A copy of the Charter is attached as an l appendix to this filing. YAEC and NRC's staff have relied on the wrong document as a basis for all their arguments'. The ASLB should rely on FRPB's representations and discussion of this topic as we are intimately involved with the role and function we play in our county and region. Rather than revisit this area again, we incorporate by reference the sections of our previous filings that reflect our role in the County as a functioning governmental body within the COG.
Even if the ASLB does find any merit to the arguments against the role of the FRPB and determines that the FRPB is an advisory board, an advisory function dictates that the ,
{
FRPB seek information, work as an investigatory body, gather facts, conduct studies and based on its findings, give a recommendation to the COG. In many instances, the FRPB reviews, votes and takes measures totally independent of any other COG body. The FRPB, in conjunction with the Franklin Regional Planning Department, is constantly reviewing projects, grants and programs with a regional impact, without permission or being overseen by the COG. In this particular situation, the FRPB must function within the parameters and avenues available to it to meet its objectives in assuring that the health, safety, welfare and lives ofits citizens are protected as this nuclear facility is decommissioned and its components and waste byproducts are presumably stored safely within the region. Following a public meeting held on January 13,1998 that fell well 8
FRPB is also confused and perplexed as to YAEC's and NRC staff's focus on a letter dated March 26, j l 1998 to James P. Gleason, Chairman of the ASLB from Brad C. Councilman, Chairman of the COG.1his l l letter is relied on by both parties despite not being served to the entire service list. How did YAEC and I l 1
4 l
j
short of addressing all the questions posed by the FRPB and others and with a licensee who has resisted to provide the FRPB with a free flow ofinformation and answers to further questions generated from FRPB's involvement 2, the FRPB had no other choice than to ask for a public hearing and intervention status to be able to carry out its function, whether it be given full party status or to be purely advisory in nature. Participation in this process is crucial and critical for the FRPB to meet its Charter mandates.
Minimally, the FRPB qualifies to take part in the proceeding under section 2.715 (c). It qualifies as a governmental body charged with review of projects, issues and similar matters that fall within the realm of protection of the health, safety and welfare ofits citizenry and its cultural and natural resources. The Councilman letter referred to in i
footnote 1, in itselfis an admission by the Chairman of the COG that the FRPB is an agency of the current form of county government, and acts to advise the COG on issues it is charged with scrutinizing. (No invitation was extended to the FRPB' s Executive Committee to bring the LTP issue before the COG as stated in the letter at the date of the correspondence. Notwithstanding there was nothing to report as the matter had just commenced formal proceedings).
I NRC staff acquire their copy? How did Mr. Councihnan acquire this copy of the ASLB notice? A copy of this letter is attached as an appendix to this filing.

ASPECTS l At this juncture in the proceeding, a petitioner need not file more than aspects to satisfy issues that the party will address in the hearing. Contentions can be filed up to fifteen days prior to the first pretrial conference. FRPB maintains that the aspects listed in its
- previous filings are admissible and adequate to satisfy this filing requirement. YAEC's
! counsel is incorrect to label the aspects provided as contentions.
l FUNDING FRPB reiterates its request that the NRC initially provide funding in the amount of one l hundred thousand dollars to pay for experts and legal representation. If the NRC is 1
precluded by law to make available such funding, the FRPB requests that the licensee be j ordered to provide such funding as a condition ofits LTP or as an independent order by the ASLB or NRC. Such funding requirements are commonplace requisites of proponents and applicants in various proceedings on local, state and regional levels. Such provisions underwrite the costs and assures complete representation and informed involvement by the public in these processes. Since this is the first commercial nuclear I
facility in the United States having its LTP reviewed, it is important to set a precedent to 1 allow the public to have the financial means to take part in the process. That can only be 2
Curiously enough, YAEC's twenty page response to a number of questions posed by the FRPB in a letter dated December 4,1997 was entitled " YAEC Responses to Franklin Regional Council of Governments Questions on YNPS License Termination Plan".

4 l assured by such funding. Granting of this request falls within the discretion of this body.
We ask that you provide this opportunity to the public.
NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS 1
l FRPB reiterates its arguments for the ASLB within its discretionary powers to review the "no significant hazards" finding as stated in FRPB's filing of April 6,1998.
l l WHEREFORE, the Franklin Regional Planning Board asks that the request for a public i
hearing and its petition to intervene in this proceeding be allowed.

Subject:
Docket No. 50-029-LA
DearJudge Gleason:
1 I have rec =dy received a copy ofyour notice reguding ALPB No. 98-736-01-LA. As Chairman of the 1 l Fmnkha Regional Council of C-ovemments I wish to make a cluification reguding iis document.
The representation that the Franklin Regional Ceuncil of Govemments has requested a hearing is not correct. The petitiener is ie Frankhn Regional Plannmg Board, an advisory board to the Franklin Regional Council of Govemments l
Their 2/27 letter to David Meyer at NRC (Sighed by de Chair of the P!nnning Board) states: "Tne Frankha Regioral P!nnnmg Board is a bmad-based coalirien comprised of a representative from the Selectboard and Planning Board cfeach cf the twenty-six towns of Frankhn County, eighteen at Inge members living within the County, and the members ofie Frankha Regional Council of Govemments Executive Committee."
Ahhough ciferrd ie oppernmity, the Executive Committee of 6e Planning Board declined to bring iis ma:ter before 1e Franklin Regional Council of Governments. ,
1 Thank you for your attentica to this matter.
