NATURAL RESCURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS WHICH ARE NOT IN DISPUTE

1. OPS intends to produce substantially more than eight floating nuclear power plants.

a. The facility being built at Blount *.sland is designed to produce as many as four FNPs per year (OPS Editorial Fact Book 1974-75, p. 3).

b. OPS considers that it has a potential market for at least 80 FNPs between now and the year 1985 in the East Coast and Gulf Coast utilities (OPS Press Release, December 4, 1972, by George F.

Gilliland, p. 1).

2. The FES prepared for the OPS application is limited to consideration of a proposal to build, site and cperate only eight FNPs.

a. The need for power (including energy alternatives and conservation) is limited to consideraticn of the period during which the eighr FNPs would be 1903220 o~1\

~

2 available for delivery (NUREG-0056, Vol. 1, p. 2-1).

b. The combined impacts of preparation of the site for an FNP and the operation of an FNP at the site do not include an analysis of the total environmental consequences of the siting of a substantial number of these facilities as planned by OPS (e . c . , NUREG-0056, supra, pp. 11-4 et sec.),

c. The loss of the use of portions of the outer continental shelf is dismissed as essentially de minimis because only eight FMPs are being proposed to be built and operated (NUREG-0056, supra, p. 9-5).

d. The analysis of alternative energy systems to FNPs essentially dismisses all solar options on the theory that the only period of interest is the period during which the eight FNPs will be available for delivery (NUREG-0056, supra, pp. 10-22 to 10-23).

e. The Staff has explicitly refused to consider the environmental impact of more than eight FNPs (NUREG-0056, Vol. 2, pp. 12-2 to 12-3).

3. The FNP involves substantial new and unicue cencepts.

a. The total risk asscciated with use o.f an FNP re-quires it to take special design protections not applicable to land-based nuclear plants (NUREG-0502, pp . X7-XVI) .

b. The unique problems associated with estuarine, riverine and barrier island siting require establish-ment,in advance of any specific siting prepcsal, of special conditions relating to the ability to demonstrate environmental protection measures that will be taken (NUREG-0 5 02 ~, p. XVI) .
