E APPLICANTS'NSWER TO PETITION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE SUBMITTED BY "CITIZENS AGAINST NUCLEAR DANGERS" On August 9, 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC")
published in the Federal Register a "Notice of Receipt of Appli-cation for Facility Operating Licenses; Availability of Appli-cant's Environmental Report; and Consideration of Issuance of Facility Operating Licenses Opportunity for Hearing". 43 Fed. Reg. 35406. This Notice stated that the NRC, following completion of specified actions, will consider the issuance of operating licenses to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company and Allegheny Electric Coop-erative, Inc. (collectively "Applicants" ) for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 ("SSES"). The Notice pro-vided that any person whose interest may be affected by. Khe pro-ceeding may file, by September 8, 1978, a petition to intervene.
In a mailgram dated September 7, 1978, Citizens Against Nuclear Dangers ("CAND") requested a hearing and petitioned for leave to intervene.
The tests for petitions for leave to intervene are set forth in 10 CFR 52.714 and were described in the NRC's August 9, 1978
Federal Register notice. The petition must set forth with par-ticularity the petitioner's interest in the proceeding, how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding, and the specific aspect, or aspects of the subject matter of the pro-ceeding as to which the petitioner wishes to intervene. The petition should also address the nature of the petitioner's right under the Atomic Energy Act to be made a party, the nature and extent of the petitioner's interest in the proceeding, and the possible effect of any order which may be entered in the pro-ceeding on petitioner's interest. Under the recent, revisions to 10 CFR 52.714, 43 Fed. Reg. 17801 '(April 26, 1978), a petitioner has until 15 days prior to the first prehearing conference to sub-mit the contentions which he seeks to litigate.
CAND's petition would appear to satisfy these requirements at least marginally. Applicant thus would agree that CAND has adequately demonstrated its interest in this proceeding.
Respectfully submitted, SHAW, PITTMAN, POTTS 6 TROWBRIDGE
