Carpenter Gustave A. Linenberger, Jr. In the Matter of Docket No. 50-271-OLA VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR (Spent Fuel Pool POWER CORPORATION Amendment) (Vermont Yankee Nuclear ASLBP No.87-547-02-LA Power Station) June 30, 1989 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Environmental Contention 3) i On June 21, 3989, the Licensing Board conducted an oral' j argument, as authorized by 10 C.F.R. $ 2.1113, concerning the non-accident portion cf Environmental Contention 3, sponsored by the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution (NECNP), an Intervenor, and the Commonwealth of l l Massachusetts, an interested State (hereinafter Interveners).1 Appearing at the oral argument were representatives of NECNP, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, i the State of Vermont, the Applicant and the NRC Staff. ' The oral argument was scheduled through our Memorandum (Telephone Conference of 4/19/89), dated April 21, 1989 (unpublished) and our Notice of Oral Argument, dated April 24, 1989 (published at 54 Fed. Reg. 18618 (May 1 1, 1989)). 8907200069 890630 PDR ADOCK 05000271 g PDR g }.gp T L___ _____ _- l

.- At.the oral argument, sua struck (without prejudice to possible later resubmittal) portions of the testimony submitted by NECNP, for reasons set forth below. We also dismissed the non-accident portion of Environmental Contention 3 but are permitting those portions of its bases as are necessary to litigate the accident portion of the i contention to remain in controversy, to be utilized only if the accident portion of the contention is in fact litigated.2 1. Environmental Contention'3 was admitted by our Memorandum and Order (Lata-Filed Environmental Contentions) dated October 11, 1988, LBP-88-26, 28 NRC 440, 448-50. It reads as follows: The NRC has failed to give adequate consideration to the alternative of dry cask storage, and has thus not complied with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, nor of its own rules in 10 C.F.R. Part 51.3 l As bases for this contention, the Interveners relied both on l the bases for Environmental Contention 1, their severe-accident contention (incorporated by reference), and on 2 l For convenience of reference, the non-accident portion of Environmental Contention 3 will be designated as Environmental Contention 3(A) and the accident portion of l the contention'will be designated as Environmental Contention 3(B). 3 Joint Motion of New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts For Leave to i File Late-Filed Contentions, dated August 15, 1988, at 4.

i . certain perceived deficiencies in the NRC Staff's Environmental Assessment (EA), dated July 25, 1988. In LBP-88-26, we admitted the contention but specifically declined to accept the severe-accident portion of the bases which had been proffered.' Subsequently, however, we reconsidered our severe-accident rulings and admitted the severe-accident bases for Environmental Contention 3, as well as Environmental Contention 1. Memorandum and Order (Motion for Reconsideration of Severe-Accident Ruling), LBP-89-6, 29 NRC 127 (February 2, 1989). We referred these latter rulings, however, to the Appeal Board and postponed their effectiveness pending Appeal Board (or Commission) action which would confirm their effectiveness. The Appeal Board thus far has not ruled on our referral. 2. Various parties, including NECNP, filed their testimony on Environmental Contention 3 on May 23, 1989. In a Memorandum (Issues for Consideration at 6/21/89 Oral Argument), dated May 25, 1989 (unpublished), we spelled out several issues raised by the direct testimony which we desired the parties to address, either in responsive statements or st oral argument. One of those issues was the extent to which NECNP's direct testi' mony (of Dr. Gordon l ' LBP-88-26, suora, 28 NRC at 450, n. 16. We also declined to admit at that time Environmental Contention 1, concerning the risk of severe accidents. i

P A Thompson) rested upon accident considerations pending (by virtue of our referral of LBP-89-6) before the Appeal Board. NECNP, the Applicant, and the NRC Staff each filed responses on June 9, 1989 which dealt, inter alia, with the questions we had posed in our May 25, 1989 Memorandum. Among other matters, NECNP filed rebuttal testimony of Dr. Thompson. Moreover, on June 9, 1989, the Applicant and NRC Staff each filed motions to strike in its entirety the direct testimony of Dr. Thompson. They also sought dismissal of Environmental Contention 3 (at least its non-accident portions) (see Tr. 463). At oral argument, the Applicant and NRC Staff extended their motions to strike to cover as well the rebuttal testimony of Dr. Thompson (Tr. 548-49 (Applicant); Tr. 484-86, 493 (Staff)). 3. Most of the oral argument was devoted to consideration of the motions of the Applicant and NRC Staff to strike the testimony of Dr. Thompson and to dismiss the non-accident portions of Environmental Contention 3. The Applicant and Staff each argued that the claims concerning the superiority of dry cask storage on the basis of accident considerations could not be considered in the absence of Appeal Board action on our referral of LBP-89-6. For its part, NECNP tried to distinguish between severe-accident l considerations involving core-melt accidents and other beyond-design basis accidents not necessarily involving l

ra j 1 1 core-melt consequences--claiming that only the former was included in the referral to the Appeal Board (Tr. 508-11, 530-34). NECNP also asserted that not all of Dr. Thompson's 1 testimony dealt with accidents and sought at least to retain the non-accident portions of the testimony. (That testimony dealt with the costs of dry cask storage and the time needed to design and license a dry cask storage facility.) With respect to this claim, the Applicant asserted that Dr. Thompson lacked competence to address the non-accident portions of his testimony (Applicant's Memorandum in Support of its Motion to Strike and to Dismiss, dated June 9,

1989, at 5-6; Tr. 454-62);

whereas the Staff treated his entire testimony as pertinent only to the consideration of accidents (Staff Motion to Strike, dated June 9, 1989, at 1; Tr. 485, 486, 493). At the oral argument, we ruled that the entire portion of NECNP's bases for Environmental Contention 3 which dealt with accidents had been referred by LBP-89-6 to the Appeal Board, and we granted the motions to strike insofar as they dealt with the accident-related portions of Dr. Thompson's testimony (i.e., all of Section VI, the second question and first paragraph of the answer in Section VII, the last Question and Answer in Section VII (on p. 11), all of l Sections VIII and IX, and Section IIA of Dr. Thompson's l l

c' T

Rebuttal Testimony) (Tr. 582-83).

This action is'without prejudice to the later submission of-the testimony, if NECNP elects to do so, in the event the Appeal Board permits litigation of Environmental Contention 3(B). We concluded that the non-accident claims of NECNP were sufficiently disparate from the accident claims to permit their separate litigation and that Dr. Thompson has sufficient qualifications to permit the consideration of the remainder of his testimony bearing on the non-accident aspects of Environmental Contention 3.5 '4. In our ruling on the motions to strike Dr. Thompson's testimony and to dismiss Environmental Contention 3, we noted that, in permitting litigation of the non-accident portion of the contention, there remained the question of whether the NRC Staff, in its EA, had given informed and raeaningful consideration to--i.e., had taken a "hard look" at--viable alternatives as demanded by many courts (Tr. 583, 615).

See, e.g.,

Bob Marshall Alliance v. Hodel, 852 F.2d 1223, 1228-29 (9th Cir. 1988), U.S. acoeal Dendino; Van Abbema v. Fornell, 807 F.2d 633, 642 (7th Cir. 1986); State of North Carolina v. Hudson, 665 F. Supp. 428, 447 (E.D. N.C., 1987). We also noted an open question as to whether the unused capacity of the pool itself constituted a 5We express no opinion, of course, as to the weight which might be accorded to Dr. Thompson's testimony. i

k 1 \\ 1 r.- " resource", within the meaning of S 102 (2) (E) of NEPA, 42 I U.S.C. S 4332 (2) (E), as to which there was an " unresolved ~ 1 conflict." City of New York v. U.S. DeDartment of Transportation, 715 F.2d 732, 742 (2d Cir., 1983); Hudson,. suora, 465 F. Supp. at 445-46; gf. Vircinia Electric and i Power Co. (North Anna Nuclear Power Station, Units l'and 2), L -1 ALAB-584, 11 NRC 451, 458, n.14 (1980); see also Staff's i j. EA, dated July 25, 1988, at 4 : 15 ("the expansion capacity of the existing pool is a resource that should be used"); but ef. Tr. 487 (Staff) ; Tr. 505 (NECNP). Nonetheless, following our ruling, NECNP, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Applicant each agreed that the-environmental impacts of dry cask storage and reracking are, apart from accident considerations, essentially benign and approximately equal (Tr. 586, 593, 598-99); and that there is no longer any dispute as to alternative uses of resources, necessary to bring the "hard look" requirement of S 102(2) (E) of NEPA into play. They and the Staff agreed that, without any further contest as to the non-accident aspects of the contention, those portions of the contention should be dismissed, for lack of contest. At the conclusion of the oral argument, the Licensing Board determined to dismiss Environmental Contention 3(A) as l no longer in contest. We leave for another day the resolution of the open questions which we identified above. l
