the continued operation of a plant or the granting of a license on a showing that the populations within specified emergency planning zones can be evacuated within a reasonable period of I time. 44 F.R. 75169 (Dec. 19, 1979). Because of the unique circumstances presented here -- most notably including the fact that construction of Bailly is just 1% complete -- we contend that it is contrary to all notions of the public health and safety to now approve the construction of an entire plant at this site without any consideration of whether the populations surrounding Bailly can be evacuated in the event of a nuclear accident.

If the Board's concern is that the Commission's rules have nei been formally made final (Order at 29), we would point out that the Commission is considering the emergency planning regu-lations on an expedited basis. As is evident from the attached Memorandum to the Commissioners (dated June 3, 1980), the interin rules -- which are in any event in full force and effect right now -- cre to be adopted on a final basis imminently. We there-fore submit that, to the extent the Board feels clearer guidance from the NRC is required on the siting and emergency evacuation issues, the Board should stay proceedings pending final adoption of the applicable ruler.

As a final matter, the Board has indicated that it will admit th City of Gary as an Interested Municipality pursuant to 10 C.P.R. S 2.715(c), notwithstanding the fact that its sole contention regarding emergency evacuation is not admitted. As  !

is indicated in the attached affidavit of Charles A. Ruckman, l l
