M NUCLEAR REGUIATORY COMMISSION s

f(N

\Q' '?"H i RS n the Matter of

) APPLIC ATION NO. XR-120 WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP. DOCKET NO. 11000495 (Exports to the Philippines) ) APPLICATION NO. XCOM-0013

)

RESPONSE TO THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION'S ORDER OF OCT. 19, 1979 BY THE NATIONAL LAWYER'S GUILD, SEATTLE CHAPTER By its Order of October 19, 1979, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested "that participants and any other interested persons file with the Commission a statement of views on the procedural and jurisdictional issues" set forth in said order.

If we were to formally address the issues outlined by the Commission, it would be the position of the National Lawyer's Guild, Seattle Chapter, that the NRC has both a legal and moral obligation to consider each of the seven issues upon which petitioners have requested a hearing.

However, it is our position that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has failed to comply with the October 4, 1979 deadline for implementation of Executive Order 12114. Such failure precludes any action on either Application No. XR-120 or Application No. XCOM-0013, unless and until adequate procedures are promulgated to implement this order.

ARGUMENT On January 4, 1979,thePresidentissuedl5$fdhtyv@$

Order 12114, entitled " Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions." A copy of the Executive Order and the White House Fact Sheet issued. January 5, 1979, entitled

" Executive Order on Environmental Effects Abroad" are 7011290117

'

.

attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively.

The purpose of the Executive Order is described in Sec3 ion,1, which states that the order furthers the purpose of NEPA and other acts regarding actions taken with respect to the environment outside the United States. Section 2-1 requires every federal agency taking major federal actions having significant effects on the environment outside the geographical borders of the United States to adopt proce-dures no later than October 4, 1979 to i.plement this Execu-tive Order. Section 2-3 defines major federal actions en-compassed by the order, and provides that all affected federal agencies shall establish procedures by which "their officers having ultimate responsibility for authorizing and approving" those major actions "take into consideration in making decisions concerning such actions" the environ-mental documents specified in Section 2-4. Section 2-4 describes the types of documents to be utilized in con-nection with various Section 2-3 actions. Section 2-5 exempts certain actions from the Executive Order, but none of the exemptions are applicable either to the NRC general-ly or to the Philippine National Power Corporation project at Napot Point, in particular. See accompanying White House Fact Sheet, at p. 2 (nuclear reactors are subject to the environmental review requirements of the order).

Under Executive Order 12114, the NRC is under the affirmative duty to adopt procedures to implement the order no later than October 4, 1979 Section 2-3(c) is determinative of the applicability of the Executive Crder

to the NRC 's approval of applications XR-120 and XCOM-0013, seeking authorization for export to the Philippines a " nuclear facility", and " components . . . which would permit construc-tion activities related to the facility," respectively. See NRC Order on Application No. XR-120, Docket No. 110-0495.

Application No. XCOM-0013, dated October 19, 1979, pp. 1, 2 (hereinafter NRC Order).

Section 2-3(c) brings the following actions within the requirements of the Executive Order:

" major Federal actions significantly affecting the environment of a foreign nation which provide to that nations (1) a product, or uhvsical nroject producing a nrin-cinal_ product or an emission or effluent, which is prohibited or strictly regulated by Federal law in the United States because its toxic effects on the envir_onment create a serious nublic health risk; or (2) a uhysical oroject which in the United States is prohibited or strictly reculated by Federal law to nrotect the environment against radioactive substances.

(Emphasis supplied).

The White House Fact Sheet accompanying tne Executive Order gives as an example of an action within Section 2-3 (c) (2): "U.S. exports of nuclear reactors. "

The only exemption which even arguably would apply is listed in Section 2-j(a)(v). Significantly, by its spec.'.fic language, Section 2-5(a)(v) excepts from the exemp-tion therein " actions providing to a foreign nation a nuclear production or utilization facility as defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended . . ." Again, the White House Fact Sheet illustrates the scope of the contemplated exemption

)fff )3"

" Nuclear reactors are subject to the environmental review requirements of the Order, but exports of nuclear fuel are not."

Direct support for the contention that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's foreign health, safety and environ-mental jurisdiction applies to applications XR-120 and XCOM-0013 came from a Memorandum of the Council on Environ-mental Quality published in the Federal Register, Vol. 44, No. 62, March 29, 1979 Within the memorandum the CEQ lists the categories encompassed by Executive Order 12144 stating among the categories the following:

3 Major Federal actions significantly affecting the environment of a foreign nation which provide to that nations (b) A physical project which in the U.S. is pro-hibited or strictly regulated by Federal law to protect the environment against radioactive substances except for actions exempted by Section 2-5(a)(v). This category includes nuclear reactors . . .

This express language leaves no doubt that the NRC has and must exercise its jurisdiction to consider healt'r, safety and environmental factors when deciding licensing applica-tions for exported nuclear readcrs in foreign countries, e . g. the Philippines.

The requirement to consider international effects of a major federal action exists independently of the order and the CEQ Memorandum, in NEPA, see 42 U.S.C. 54332( 2)(F) (agencies have duties to recognize world wide and long-range character of environmental problems); id. g4332 (2)(C) (EIS's must

-4 i434 188

.

address environmental impacts of major federal actions sig-nificantly affecting the quality of the human environment; scope not limited to environment within United States); 40 CFR g 1500.8(a) (agencies must assess positive and negative effects of proposed action as action affects both national and international environment).

The NRC has not implemented the Executive Order, although

-

it clearly is required to do so by the plain and unambiguous terms of the order. Cf. Calvert Cliffs ' Coordinatine Com-mittee v. A . E. C . , 449 F. 2d 1109, 2 ERC 1779 ( D. C . Cir . 1971),

cert denied, 404 U.S. 982 (1972) (NRC does not have discre-tion to delay implementation of NEPA beyond effective date provided in statute). Nor has the NRC satisfied the subse-quent environmental review requirements of the Executive Crder with respect to the environmental effects of the proposed nuclear facility upon the environment of Luzon Island in the Phillipines.

Thus, the conclusion is inescapable that Executive Order 12114 is applicable to the Napot Point project, and that the NRC has not established procedures to implement the order as it is required to do by the order itself and by NEPA. See Calvert Cliffs', supra.

The mandatory procedures to be adopted are designed to insure that responsible NRC officers wP make decisions re-garding such applications and other major actions, take into consideration environmental considerations. Sections 2-4(a)

. (ii) and (iii) delineate the environmental impact documentation I434 l09

.

which the officers shall take into consideration when re-viewing applications for the exportation of nuclear facili-ties. Thus, the Executive Order is a mandate for both the review and consideration of specified environmental impact documents, and the promulgation and adoption of procedures designed to insure responsible officers take environmental effec',s on foreign nations into consideration.

Therefore, the NRC has jurisdiction, and under the Execu-tive Order no discretion to not exercise its jurisdiction, to examine " health, safety and environmental questions arising from the construction and operation of exported nuclear fac-ilities." NRC Order, p. 3 The six issues posed for response by interested parties are among those issues and procedures which the Executive Order mandates the NRC to adopt no later than October 4, 1979 The National Lawyers Guild, Seattle Chapter, therefore asserts that the NRC is constrained and prohibited from ap-proving Westinghouse Electric Corporation applications XR-120 and XCOM-0013, and from taking any other major federal action until the NRC has adopted procedures to implement Executive Order 12114, and until those procedures ha're been followed in reviewing the Westinghouse applications in this docket.
