the plant has been intervenors was scheduled to be heard after licensed to operate. It is my- intention to point out the .

uselessnes of unfunded, overwerked internevors to invcive t>emselves in a process , s. process where the cards are stacked, was my intention and to assertain what rules if ar" were broken. I to ask the question so eloquently asked by the intervenor before the Ecuse Interior and Insular Affairs 5ubccamittee on Energy and the Environent on June 51979:

"'de must nou ask what justific'. icn there con be, under either NEPA or the Atomic Energy Act, for this adminis:ra:ive appreval procedure which allows a major federe.1 action--

the 2* cense to operate--prior to comletion of review of the issues which, in one environnentEL instance, may decisively tip the cost benefit analysis against the reactor and, in the other r ma.7 equally decisively determine that the safety-related risk is too great to perLit operation."

Contention 3) . Violation of NEPA It is my intention to show that until table S-3 is revised or NUREG-0511 is either legislatively or administratively re-solved, there can be no justification for further licensing TMI 1 or any other nuclear power plant. The question of the relationship of the Commissions admission that the health ef'ects from Radon 222 were underestimated by a factor of 100,000 and NEPA remains.

It is by far the finest and cost comprehensive speech ever to come from a Commissione It rernins to be seen if these remarks are heeded or stand as just-another composition of worthless rheteric.

I also would like this Cocaission to carefully consider the E
