We shall consider. concerns properly raised by people who ' submit _rer;uests to appear that are approved-by the_ presiding officer, thus granting the requesters:the status of parties. Matters of
' concern'to existing parties include:
-(s)-alleged " radioactive contamination" on the site, including excessive-radiation' exposure of nuclear workers in
'the 1960s,'two subsequent overexposure events, and litigation settlements in which_three workers' allegedly had radiation-caused cancer; i (b) the safe.ty of emergency evacuation plans; ;
1 (c) population growth in Rocketdyne's immediate vicinity makes renewal of its license unsafe; i
(d) potential toxic or radioactive contamination at the &ffected facility and the possible long-term cancer threat from these conditions; (e)_ that the Sodium Burn Pit, used until '
1978 for the disposal of chemical and "some" radioactive wastes, contains unauthorized radioactively contaminated equipment and toxic wastes and that there are " deteriorated" and allegedly ineffective berms that were designed to prevent rain water from running from the L
pit to Simi Valley; L (f) that rainwater apparently seeped into Building 059, where radioactive *;m 3 i *h '
material and equipment remain, and may have transported some of the radioactive

V material out tif tha. building and'into the' i L soil; i
E (g) that Applicants permitted a Leach Field, or pit, to be so badly contaminated.in-1975 (by' accident) that cleanup efforts were not completed before
'they were discontinued in 1978; (h) that' Applicants' testing and sampling for radioactive and toxic substances have been inadequate to assure l; the. safety of surrounding communities; (i) that Applicants' application for renewal.of its license is inaccurate; and (j)- that Applicants' management is untrustworthy, in part because of suspected criminal conduct of Rockwell in handling. wastes at Rocky Flats, near Denver.
It should be'noted that in pursuing these concerns in their written' filings, partics have been required to refer to the licensing criteria in 10 C.F.R. Part 70, so that the relevance of each concern to licensing will be apparent.
