- Boris-Besse Plant during its mersal operation. The Coalition is therefore semanrued about the possibility er probability of hers and aanger to its members as a result of not only unsafe  !

l operation of the Proposed Plant bat the normal operation of the l

F. .; ::: Plant as ytesently defined.

8. The Coalitica is ecaeerned that the lifestyles of its members, I

in a oemplicated mas self-oontained metropolitan area, will be i i

trasties11y changed, adversely, as a result of the Proposed ,

P3aat at the proposed site, without such citizens having s j voice in the resolution of the sentroversy.

of these stuesats intend to make their hans and pufossional lifei a

in the State of CRaio nas other states which are, beoense of the '

movement of wind, water and other natural ressurees, in the area of poteuttal effect fremt the pW Davis-Sesse Plant. 1 These students have an interest ta social justice and law and order thmugh established systees. Because of some of the f

national positions taken by the Atomic Energy Castisaien and publie utilities, with aspect to state and local enrimamental 1 enactments as well as the Natiemel Envirammestal Policy Aet, thsbe students wish to aseenstrate to the people of the United 8tates and Ohio, particularly the young activist osmosmity, that enriremmental protection eam be achieved through established adutaistrative and legal channels. Aeeordingly, sneh students, l thmugh asabership in the Coalition seek to intervene to make it , i

C. Metual Intereste with Pbwer Companime.

f The applicaat peser onepanies, in recognition of their obligation te meet the increasias dements for electrie poser in the lake Erie Area have earefully planned the Davis-Essee Nualear Power Staties over an entended period of time. htitiener moognises that their plasming was amoessarily guided by the then kasus safety standants and that te date them has been no sortees geesties raised as to the willingness of these two power sesqpesies to ;

aset such standards. Essever, during the Imagthy planning period required sat taken by these power ocupamies, additional seientifie lavestigatiJa and inquiry has raised serious mad legitimate eh.11 mages te the safety staatsrds i l ased in the plamains of the papened facility aal under whiah it is to be '

eeastnasted amt operated. Petitioner centends that suah standevis will not 1 4

l contimes for lang to be assertable particularly for a plant to be leested so )

close te and between dense 27 populated urban areas. It is themfore in the best interests of the power acapanies, as well as the general pehlie sened  ;

by them, ht the eoastruation penait be esated at least until such time as i safety stand =4 een be established and built into the plans for this power staties ht are clearly adequate to stand the test of the extended period af l 1

time tuvelved in the useful life of such a faeilit;y.

It seems obvices ht a substantial delay in the acastrastion of r8 this an.1 mar pesar staties will upset the long range planning timetable of these two power eenpesies to supply their austeners with power. This may very will result in people having 3mes elsetris power thma a perfectly convenient 4

l style of life would require. Dat this is far better than permitting h t

sometruction of a power statise which esaid a,abstantially ecatribute to the destruction of the environment.

This wry difficult choice may well be between short range trouble with air conditioners in periods of peak power demands or long range damage to the environment forcing us to live in shelters with air conditioned comfort, as the caly way to be aosfortsble at all.

With the sometimes conflieting demands of the public for power and safety, this situstien requires governmental action by this Commissior to make the necessary seeceodstion between these demands; the safoty of the public including the preservation of a healthful environment is necessarily the perusount consideration.

D. The Public Interest Will Be Served by Betitioner's Interrention in the Proceeding.

Great consera regsrding the advent of nuclear poser in the Lake Erie Azem has been votood in the ama's newspapers. For example, the Cleveland Plain Dealer has published a series of articles written by William D. McCann reporting the vide publie concern over the safety of the proposed facility. The Cleveland Press, in articles written by Betty Klarie, has eencientiously reported on the health, and safety implications of the proposed facility. The Sun nevepapers have likewise reported the greving i

concern over the dangers of the proposed facility, l The soneern of these major newspapers regarding the proposed fscility is part of a general rising national concern over radiation hazards, rdistion protection standards, sad the thermal pollution esused by nuclear poser plants.

28. The Standards for Protectix Against ReAiation are based upon ,

outmoded, outdated setentifie information, most of which is more than fifteen years old.

29 Assuming the 3egality of the radiation standards, petitietsrs e oestead that it is illagal to issue a construction permit locking teuard operation of Davis-Besse which would permit the Davis-Besse Plant the option of operating at 100 percent of the eartent radiaties standards when all of the projeetions, as sell as publie statements, made by Applicants attempt to C.aov that the Flant's operation will not exceed more than approxi-ante 37 5 pereent of tbs radiation standards.

The proposed facilitte is located asar the dense popula- l tien souters of Detroit, Talada, Sandusky and Cimvetena ar.d '

petitioner eestents that the preur1=1ty of the proposed N* ,

i i

facility to restriated areas used for ordnamoe testing and airerart training missions constitutes a unique sad critical hasard to the remeter ana in that the suelmar reactor is esposed to the danger of airenft ersehes and to the hszard of being shelled by ordannes testing. Use of the contiguous astrieted areas is deterstaed by a large number of appsrste egencies imelading the Lepsrtament of Defense, the Navy, the Air Foree, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Aeronauties.

The ordnaaet being tested includes artillery piereias shells tested over Iake Erie which any be espeble of penetration of 26 inches of reinforced comerete. The boundries of the restricted areas are in dispute and the restricted area proposed by the Corps of Engineers actually inelades the reactor site itself.

(e) Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation and Radiological Hazards to the Publie .

Present information about the ndionuclides produced in nuelear power plaats sad disehrged into the biosphors is insuffisiest to justify the risks attending the construction and operstion of the proposed fneility.

Applienata hsve not demonstr=ted thnt no biologie31 dannge to say of the population of the I.de 3rie Aras vill 3k. ,

of bielsgical damage eensed by radiation to be emitted  ;

The Petitioner is concerand with tha pmscriation of tha ecology of Lake Iris, its maritus and plant life, their aquatie habitat aat supporting eco. systems, and in preserrir.g the asefalaess of the marine envirocaent of laie Erie for roersetiemal and other beneficial purposes.

l 99 a.

The effect of sewage discharge y nduces a significant ineresse in the astrient content of the waters of Iake Erie.

The propesed facility will pour billisas of gallons of heated water into Imke Erie, thus areating a heat dump. This vill speed up its outrophiestion, ervate synergistie action l os ahoorption of radionaalides, destroy it as a suitable i

habitat for its auczestional and easaartial fisheries, and ta general chegge its entire ecology.

The Petitioner sentends that the disek ,e of radio-motive effleemts and heat into Lake Erie and the atmosphere in the eyerstion of the proposed facility may adversely affect marine and plant life in the Iake Erie Area and detract from the reeresticatl utilisation of the area; that the effects of the proposed project on the 1 meal ecology have not yet been suffisient3y studied and determined; that the necessary enviremanatal vaalitative sad aptantitative studiac cf botton biota, plankton ernstaces, fish, temperature, botten eenrposi-ties and water ehmaistry have not yet been made in suffieient depth; that it is not possible at this time to detezzine what envirosse'stal radioactivity would zosalt frcus the operation of the proposed facility.

The Petittener also believes that the radio-sensitivity of fish and wildlife organisms is poorly unde 2 stood; that there is laea of kapeledge as to the effect of the process

i whereby maietsetopes of msay elements became coneentrated and stored by organians thst substitute these for ehemiselly similar elements for their netual metabolio setivities, and that trsasfers of radio @ des frem one organism to another through the foM shain may result in radiation hasards to fish and wildlife and the food and organisms on which ttsey depend.

Aseerdingly, the Petitioner believes that it is not possible at this time to determine whether the design of  ;

eenstnetion of the proposed facility would safeguard fish end wildlife emanians sad aquatie biota frias undne strsia of rsdistion exposure, et that it is not possible to determine whether the metabolie sativities of the important fish and wildlife twoourees in the project szwa vill not be adversely affected 1ry the weste elements coatsined in the effluent from the proposed plant, or whether concentration of radioactivity hsrsurul to fish ed wildlife is oeesrring.

14titioner believes the spplicants have not demonstrated that the p._, rt facility enn ocaply with the appliesble federal and stete vster quality stsnaards criteria governing thersel disehange sad pollution contml acts, and have act l l

shoes that the discharge from the plaat, either alone or in ceshinaties with other substenees or wastes, will not be l

Petitioner believes that s eonstructica pemit shaaI4 act ,

be isoned to the app 11eamte because of the possible adverse effects of thems1 dischkurges sad other potential hasards to fish sat wildlife, wramtie biote, their habitat and supporting eeo-systems. The diseharge of large volumes of heated water '

into Iake Erie not only may be dstrimental to fish directly, i but slao say tffect these resources indirectly through i

ecologiesl ch3nges, psrticularly on the food organisms on which the fish depend.

I The cooling water intake poses a potential hazard to l fish resources sad, in particular, to significant numbers of fish and ===11 squatie erustseeans, which azw basic food items.

Fish eggs, larvae ani ether planktoa are killed in their passage threugh the plant. Such destruction euts down the food supply for larger fish.

l (e) The Risks to the Publie Health and Estety Far Outweigh the Benefits .

Phtitioner contends that the benefits claimed for nuelaar power have not been realized; that reliability of larger 1

reactors has still to be demonstrated; that costs far eseeed I estinstes; that no amelaar power station has demonstrated that it is campatitive in cost with conventional electric power stations, and that ==almar power plants are not clean, safs 49*

incompleteness can only result in the utility being fseed l
