NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS -- REGION I 475 Allendale Road King of Prussia, PA 19406 No. I-02-025 April 1, 2002 CONTACT: Diane Screnci, (610) 337-5330 E-mail: opa1@nrc.gov Neil A. Sheehan, (610) 337-5331 LICENSING BOARD TO HEAR ORAL ARGUMENTS ON MILLSTONE SPENT FUEL POOL A Nuclear Regulatory Commission Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has scheduled oral argument on Tuesday, April 2, in Mystic, Conn., in a licensing proceeding concerning a request by Dominion Nuclear Connecticut to amend its license for Millstone Station Unit 3 in Waterford, Conn.

The hearing, which is open to the public for observation, will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Best Western Sovereign Hotel, 9 Whitehall Avenue, in Mystic.

Dominion has requested a license amendment to increase the capacity (through the addition of high-density storage racks) of the spent fuel pool of Millstone 3.

The Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone and the Long Island Coalition Against Millstone petitioned to intervene. A three-member NRC Licensing Board granted the petition and is in the process of conducting a hearing on the merits of the case.

Because oral limited appearance statements were heard on several occasions earlier in the proceeding, they will not be entertained at this session of the hearing. Written statements may be submitted to the Office of the Secretary, Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555. A copy should also be served on the Chairman of this Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, T-3 F23, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555 or cxb2@nrc.gov .
