RESPONSE OF INTERESTED STATE OF OKLAHOMA TO APPLICANTS REQUEST FOR HEARIU:s AND MOTION TO ESTABLISH HEARING SCHEDULE Comes now the State of Oklahoma, participant in the above-styled prc.eeding as an Interested State under 10 CFR, S2.715(c), and makes response to the request filed August 11, 1979, by Public Service Company of Oklahoma, Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., and Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (herein referred to as " Applicants") for the Board to re-open the record for additional hearings and Applicants' Motion to Establish a Hearing Schedule filed concurrently with the aforesaid request for hearings.
.. REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL HEARINGS.
Applicants state that they now withdraw their former objection to the reopening of the record of the instant proceedings for the purpose of examining health and safety issues that arose as a consequence of the March 28, 1979, accident at the Three Mile Island Generation Station, Unit 2 g910000FfT" 1115 256

(TMI-2) stating that:
"[t]his decision was based on a determi-nation by Applicants that the public interest will best be served by openly reviewing the lessons learned from the TMI-2 accident as they might apply to Black Fox Station..."/l They request further hearings be held for the purpose of
" generally exploring those aspects of the TMI-2 accident that are pertine'nt to this proceeding."2 The State of Oklahoma agrees with Applicants that it appecrs to be in the public interest that the record be re-opened in order to explore the regulatory consequences of the TMI-2 accident. Oklahoma disagrees with Applicant's position that the public interest will be totally satisfied at this stage by tbe Applicants' commitment to the short Term Recommendations issued by the TMI-2 Lessons-Learned Task Force. Oklahoma's position is that due to the fact of the relative proximity of the issuance of the Long Term Recommendations of the TMI-2 Lessons-Learned Task Force 3, the final report of the President's Commission on the 1/ " Request for Hearing and Motion to Establish Hearing Schedule" (hereinaf ter " Request / Motion") , mailed August 11, 1979, p. 4.
2/ Id, p. 5.
3/ The Task Force reported their intention to issue Long Term Reco==endaticns "by about September 1, 1979."
NUREG-0578, p. 4. Oklahoma has been orally infor.med that this formal estimate was ambitious and a more accurate date for release would be some time in October.
}ll}/
Accident at Three Mile Island (Kemeny Commission)4, and the NRC's Special Inquiry (Rogovin Commission)5, litigation of issues raised in said reports will no doubt be of weighty significance in determining whether the instant record has been adequately developed on the issues of health and safety to support the issuance of the Construction Permits sought in this proceeding. II. MOTION TO ESTABLISH HEARING SCHEDULE
- a. Preliminary Statement Applicants apparently premise their Motion to Establish a Hearing Schedule upon their belief that the TMI-2 review process has been completed to the point that NCR Staff favors resuming the licensing process interrupted this spring by the moritorium.6 Applicants assert that the
... entire complement of matters required by the NRC Staff to be addressed by construction permit applicants" were identified in NUREG-0578, in IE Bulletin No. 79-08 and the 4/ Established by Executive Order 12130 on April 11, 1979. 44 Fed. Reg. 22027. The Commission is legally re-quired to make a final report "not later than six months from the date of the Commission's firs t meeting. " 44 Fed.
Reg. at 22028. See Attachment I. Associated Press reports that the actual due date of the report. is October 25, 1979. See Attachment II, Tulsa World, Fridcy, August 24, 1979, Section A 15. 5/ It was anticipated that the Rogovin Commission would require about six months to conduct their inquiry. 44 Fed. Reg. at 35065. See Attachment III. 6/ Request / Motion, p. 6.
"information paper" SECY-79-4507 and expressed confidsnce that the commitments made by Applicants in their July 27, 1.179, licensing document as later clarified on August 8, 1979, would be approved in the Staff's upcoming Supplement No. 3 to the Safety Evaluation Report.8 Due to public criticism from the Kemeny Commission, the Director of NRC's Office of Reactor Regulation reportedly told the Kemeny Commissioners recently that the Staff would not favor proceeding with the licensing process until the NRC cc. .ssioners themselves gave their clear approval to proceed with the licensing process.9 As a result of this intervening event it is submitted that the question of establishing a hearing schedule should be deferred by the Board until the NRC commissioners have an opportunity to consider Mr. Denton's recommendation that the licensing process be resumed.
7/ Id., p. 7. 8/ In the conference call of the parties and Board held on August 23, 1979, Mr. Davis stated he believed SER Supp. 3 would be issued August 24, 1979. 9/ Attachment II.
- b. Scheduling of Hearings In the Douglas Point case 10 the Appeals Board deter-mined that scheduling is a matter left to the discretion of the Licensing Board, but identified three factors relevant for determining when hearings should be held on specific issues. The Appeals Board stated:
... the absence of any rigid scheduling criteria established by statute or regu-lation suggests that the adjudicatory boards were to decide for themselves in such circumstances when hearings should be held on specific issues. It seems to us that a variety of factors appropriately should be taken into account in reaching that decision. Principal among them are:
(1) the degree of likelihood that any early findings on the issue (s) would re-tain their validity; (2) the advantage, if any, to the public interest and to the litigants in having an early, if not nec-essarily conclusive, resolution of the issue (s); and (3) the extent to which the hearing of the issue (s) at an early stage would, particularly if the issue (s) were later reopened because of supervening developments, occasion prejudice to one or more of the litigants."/11 Applicants, being the moving party, bear the burden of proving that their motion should be granted.12 1 Likelihood findings would remain valid. te Lessons Learned Task Force explained how they 10/ Potomac Electric Power Co. (Douglas Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 & 2) ALAB-277, 1 NRC 539, 3 AELR 17, 841-15 (1975). 11/ Id., 3 AELR at 17, 8 41-18 anc'. 17, 841-19. 12/ 10 CFR S2.732. _,_ 1115 760
developed their list of Short Term Recommendations in the Introduction to their report. They state in relevant portion:
"The decision-making process followed by the Task Force in determining which safety issues required short-term licensing acti -
versus those that could be deferred for further evaluation by the Task Force or others, was based upon engineering evalua-tion and qualitative professional judgment of the safety significance of the various issues. In this regard, the Task Force has selected items for "short-term action" if their implementation would provide sub-stantial, additional protection required for the public health and safety. Our recommendations for short-term action are prompt, specific, and safety signifiqant in their character and are not likel/ to be overttuned or contradicted by contin-uing studies or investigations. Some of them may eventually ce cisplaced, nowever, by more comprehensive long term changes in nuclear power plant regulation. In some cases, an immediate action may not be amenable to precise description on the basis of information or analyses developed to date; however, the item has been judged by the Task Force to be of sufficient safety significance to require an immediate commitment to get studies or testing under-way. In this case the recommended action is to obtain a 'short-term commitment' for a longer term modification, study, or test by affected licensees." (Emphasis added)/13 Thus, although the Task Force attempted to make short-term recommendations of lasting validity, they cautioned that some were subject to changes should regulatory policy standards change. The Task Force goes on to state that certain issues to be examined in their Long Term Recommendations report 13,* NUREG-0578, at 3. _,_ 1115 261
were " inextricably tied" to fundamental policy questions. They indicate that other fundamental issues would require work over a period of time in excess to that available to the task force due to the fact that the licensing basis for nuclear regulation may be required to be changed.14 They recommend in the latter case that the fundamental policy decisions should not be made without taking into consideration C the Kemeny and Rogovin studies. Thus, although the Short Term Recommendat_ons were sought to be drafted to be of time-enduring quality, said recommendations may be subject to change once the long-term significance of the TMI-2 event is understood. It is submitted that because the issuance of reports dealing with the long term significance of TMI-2 are relatively soon forthcoming, prudence would require consideration of long term regulatory recommendations to be made in order to determine if the short term recommenda-tions maintain their validity.
- 2. Advantage to the Public Interest and the Litigants in Having an Early, if not Necessarily Conclusive Resolution of Issues.
The Board indicated in the Douglas Point decision, supra, that it was probably in the public interest and in the interest of the Applicant in that case for an early decision 14/ Id., at 4. 15/ Ibid. 7- 1115 262
on site suitability even though construction at any site would be delayed by as many as five years. The Appeal Board stated that an early rejection of a site would enable the search for an alternate site to begin immediately, a process calculated by that applicant to require as many as nine and one-half years.16 Early hearing in the instant case would allow only the litigation of the adequacy of Applicants' commitments to fulfill NUREG-0578 recommendations plus the issues identi-fied in IE Bulletin No. 79-08 and SECY-79-450. Most of Applicants' commitments defer all detail of how they propose to fulfill their commitments to later description in the FSAR. \ delay generated by waiting for the Long Term Recom-mendations of the Lessons Learnec Task Force, the report and recommendations of the Kemeny Commission and the report and recommendations of the Rogovin Commission could be put, it is submitted, to good use by providing more clarifying detail concerning how Applicants propose to go about ful-filling their proclaimed objective of satisfying the Short Term Recommendations. At the same time availability of the aforesair studies would reveal whether the Short Term Recom-mendations were subject in the near future to modification caused by fundamenral policy changes. 16/ 3 AELR, ar 17, 841-20. _3_ 1115 263
- 3. Prejudice to a Litigant Caused by Re-opening Due to Supervening Developments.
Apart from the burden required to cause the Board to accept for re-litigation a matter that has already been litigated, reopening the record to show changed circum-stances impacts upon all parties by increasing litigation expenses. The burden of going forward with evidence to support a finding of changed circumstances is, therefore, not only a burden of pursuasion but also a monetary burden. The fact that both such burdens might completely be avoided by awaiting the forthcoming reports would make the necessity of making such a showing of changed :ircumstances even more burdensome. In short, the availability of the instant issues for litigation at this time does not in itself justify early hearings on the issues when the validity of the recommenda-tions is subject to qualification in the near future should fundamental polf y changes be forthcoming as the result of longer-term analysis of the TMI-2 event. Applicants show no particular advantage to the public interest or themselves in early hearings that wou-- not potentially remain were scheduling deferred until the upcoming long-term reports are made available. Applicants state only that the issues are ripe for inclusion in the record at this time. Finally, due to the fact that the long-term reports will be available in 1115 264
the near future, any required re-litigation of issues will be most pernicious to all parties. The State of Oklahoma would conclude by submitting it is prudent to defer having hearings until the issuance of the Long Term Recommendations of the Lessons Learned Task Force, the Kemeny Commission Report and the Rogovin Commis-sion Report. CONCLUSION The State of Oklahoma agrees that it is in the Public Interest to re-open the record for litigation of issues raised by the TMI-2 accident. The question of scheduling should first be deferred until the NRC Commissioners have an opportunity to rule on the propriety of proceeding with the licensing process. Apart from the question of the propriety of whether the licensing moritorium should continue, Oklahoma submits that Applicants have not met their burden of showing that hearings before the issuance of the Long Term Lessons Learned Task Force Report, the Kemeny C0mmission Ree crt and the Rogovin Commission Report are in the Public Interest. 1115 265 Respectfully submitted, JAN ERIC CARTWRIGHT ATmr 4 Y "ENERAL O~ KLAHOMA 5' s ARLES S .
