Interveners contend that FirstEnergys recently-discovered, extensive cracking of unknown origin in the Davis-Besse shield building/secondary reactor radiological containment structure is an aging-related feature of the plant, the condition of which precludes safe operation of the atomic reactor beyond 2017 for any period of time, let alone the proposed 20-year license period.

INTERVENORS UNOPPOSED MOTION TO VACATE AND RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT ON PROPOSED CONTENTION NO. 5 Now come Beyond Nuclear, Citizens Environment Alliance of Southwestern Ontario (CEA), Dont Waste Michigan, and the Green Party of Ohio (collectively, Intervenors), by and through counsel, and move the Board to vacate the present, May 18, 2012, oral argument of proposed Contention No. 5 slated to take place in Port Clinton, Ohio. The NRC Staff and FirstEnergy do not oppose this request.

Background By prior order ASLBP No. 11-907-01-LR-BD01, dated March 28, 2012), the Board scheduled oral argument to be convened in Port Clinton on May 18 to hear from the parties concerning the proposed Contention 5, which states:

The NRC Staff has proposed alternative wording which would transform the contention into a contention of omission. FENOC and the Staff have timely responded to the original contention motion.

B. A Change of Circumstances Has Occurred Which Militates Against Proceeding on May 18 Shortly after the entry of the Boards order, FENOC promulgated its idea of an aging management plan (AMP) to address the shield building cracking issue, on April 5, 2012. .

Intervenors have until June 4, 2012 by which time to move to amend or supplement their proposed Contention 5 based upon this disclosure by FENOC, and Intervenors wish to avail themselves of that option. Also, Intervenors, hoping to accelerate the discovery process in order to reinforce their proposed contention, tendered a FOIA request to the NRC in January 2012, and currently await the NRCs provision of requested information related to the cracking issue.
