ThebasisforPPM'sassurance thattheregulations willbemetandthepublicprotected iscontained inthisenclosure andinthelicenseapplication andtherelatedcorrespondence overtheyears.Moreover, thelengthyprocessbywhichtheplantisdesigned, constructed, andreviewed, including reviewsby
 
PPGL'sstaff,theNRCstaff,theACRS,andNRClicensing boards,providesagreatdealofassurance thatthepublichealthandsafetywillnotbeendangered.
Inparticular, theAtomicSafetyandLicensing Board,afteranextensive review,concluded thatPPGLhadthecommitment andtechnical qualifications necessary tooperateSusquehanna SteamElectri'c Stationsafetyandincompliance withallapplicable radiological healthandsafetyrequirements.
Anotherconsideration isthattheapplicant betechnically andfinancially qualified.

Thereporting requirements of10CFR50.36a(a)(2) arecompliedwiththroughappropriate SSESprocedures.

50.37Thisregulation requirestheapplican't toagreetolimitaccesstoRestricted Data.Applicant compliance isinherenttotheoperating licenseapplication "whethersostatedthereinornot."50.38Thisregulation prohibits theNRCfromissuingalicensetoforeign-controlled entities.

PPGL'sstatement thatitisnotowned,controlled, ordominated byanalien,foreigncorporation, orforeigngovernment isintheoperating li'censeapplication fortheSusquehanna SteamElectricStation.50.40Thisregulation providesconsiderations to"guide"theCommission ingrantinglicensesasfollows:50.40(a)Thedesignandoperation ofthefacilityistoprovidereasonable assurance thattheapplicant willcomplywithNRCregulations, including thosein10CFRPart20,andthatthehealthandsafetyofthepublicwillnotbeendangered.

ThebasisforPPM'sassurance thattheregulations willbemetandthepublicprotected iscontained inthisenclosure andinthelicenseapplication andtherelatedcorrespondence overtheyears.Moreover, thelengthyprocessbywhichtheplantisdesigned, constructed, andreviewed, including reviewsby

PPGL'sstaff,theNRCstaff,theACRS,andNRClicensing boards,providesagreatdealofassurance thatthepublichealthandsafetywillnotbeendangered.

Inparticular, theAtomicSafetyandLicensing Board,afteranextensive review,concluded thatPPGLhadthecommitment andtechnical qualifications necessary tooperateSusquehanna SteamElectri'c Stationsafetyandincompliance withallapplicable radiological healthandsafetyrequirements.

Anotherconsideration isthattheapplicant betechnically andfinancially qualified.

BothPPGL'stechnical qualifications anditsfinancial qualifications werereviewedinhearingsbeforetheAtomicSafetyandLicensing Board.Anotherconsideration isthattheissuanceofthelicenseisnottobeinimicaltothecommondefenseandsecurityortothehealthandsafetyofthepublic.Theindividual showingsofcompliance withparticular regulations contained inthisenclosure, aswellasthecontentsoftheentireFSARandrelatedcorrespondence overtheyears,plusthelengthyprocessofdesign',construction, andreviewbyPAL,itsNSSSvendor,andthegovernment, providePPMwithconsiderable assurance thatthelicensewillnotbeinimicaltothehealthandsafetyofthepublic.Asforthecommondefenseandthesecurity, thereisconsiderable assurance thatthelicensewillnotbeinimicalinthatPP&LhasanapprovedsecurityplanforSusquehanna SteamElectricStation,thatPPGLisnotcontrolled byagentsofforeigncountries,

'andthatPPGLhasagreedtolimitaccesstoRestricted Data.Thefinal50.40"consideration" isthattheapplicable requirements ofPart51havebeensatisfied.

Part51concernscompliance withtheNationalEnvironmental PolicyActof1969.PPGIhassubmitted aFinalEnvironmental ReportandtheNRCstaffisreviewing thereportandwillpublishafinalEnvironmental ImpactStatement pursuantto10CFR51.Environmental Technical Specifications arepending.Thisregulation appliestoClass104licensees, suchasthosefordevicesusedinmedicaltherapy.Susquehanna SteamElectricStationhasnotappliedforaClass104license,andso50.41isnotapplicable.

10 Section50.42providesadditional "considerations" to"guide"theCommission inissuingClass103licenses.

Thetwoconsiderations are:(a)thattheproposedactivities willserveausefulpurposeproportionate tothequantities ofspecialnuclearmaterialorsourcematerialtobeutilizedand(b)thatdueaccountwillbetakenoftheantitrust adviceprovidedbytheAttorneyGeneralundersubsection 105coftheAtomicEnergyAct.The"usefulpurpose"tobeservedistheproduction ofelectricpower.Theneedforthepowerwasdetermined bythelicensing boardattheconstruction permitstage.Althoughconditions affecting theneedforpowerareconstantly

changing, PPGLperiodically makesloadprojections, andinPPGL'sjudgement theneedforSusquehanna SteamElectricStationisstillsubstantial.

Asfortheamountofspecialnuclearmaterialorsourcematerialused,thereisnoreasontobelievethattheirproportion inrelationtothepowerproducedissubstantially greaterthanthatofothercommercial powerreactorsinthiscountry.TheNRCispresently undertaking theantitrust reviewfor~SSESand'asnotyetinformedtheapplicant ofitsconclusions.
