Petitions for Intervention filed by George Schultz: Steven Laudig g

(sic); and George and Anna Grabowski (hereinafter Mac Response),

18 r "As a matter of sound adninistrative policy, a 19 construction pernit amendment should not be '

utilized as an occasion to embark upon a fresh 20 assessment of iscues already thoroughly considered and decided in prior construction permit hearings."

The NRC has adopted a shortsighted narrowly legalistic policy. It seems to me that the Licensing Peoard would be foolish to license the construction of a plant when it is clear there are major,,perhaps insurmountable, problems of evacuation planning.
