I SUPPLEMENT A TO GROUNDS FOE INTERVENORS' EXCEPTION 1 (To be inserted on p. 8 of Intervenors ' Exceptions afte. ; i the words "The grounds for this exception...are:"
*
!l
- ;
. l The Board's attempt to treat the "proj ect" rather / l
. . .
'
than the " reactors" as the " utilization facility" to be ;i
;. !
.
licensed is unauthorized by law and contrary to law. The . ill utilization facility involved is the reactor, and not , 1
. the entire Oconee Nuclear Station, or any part thereof, .
'
other than the reactor. Section 11 cc of the Act de-fines " utilization facility" as "any equipment or device
..
except an atomic weapon, determined by rule of the ccm- .i I, mission to be capable of making use of special nuclear
.
'
, material. . . ; or (2) any important ccmponent part es- '
'
.
pecially designed for such equipment or device as, deter- _ mined by the, Commission." But, by the Commission's Rules .
'
and Regulations,10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.2(b), the T ' l term " utilization facility" is limited to "any nuclear , I reactor other than one designed or used primarily for the. )
'l The Commissio'n has
'
*
/ formation of plutonium or U-233." - .
Y .
,f
< never even determined that any ccmponent .part 'of the re- ,.
,
'
'
.
,
actor especially designed for such equipment is capable ' i
'
j of making use o: speciaA nuclear material and therefore
. ,
t . . l "a utilization facility" within the meaning of Sec.11 cc
.
'
(2) of the Act, supra. Therefore,.the, Board's attempt to treat the " project" rather than the " reactor" as the"uti- .l lization facility" to be licensed is unauthorized by law ,.
'
'
'
and contrary to law. ,

SUPPLEMENT B TO GROUNDS FOR INTERVENORS' EXCEPTION 6 ! (For insertion following page 15 of Intervenors' Exceptions.) .
. . .
The Board's extension of the statutory definition of . l
!
"Research and Development" goes so far that if applied to
. l the research and development activities which the Commission j
is authorized to conduct in its own utilization facilities , j i.
. or by contract with others under Section 31 of the Act, it .
i.
*
!:
would justify the building of the Oconee Nuclear Station by ; .' I the commission. But Section 44 of the.Act expressly forbids .
the " Commission to engage in the . sale or distribution of - energy for coinmercial use except such energy as may be
-
, produced by the Commission incident to the operation of -
;
. !research and development facilities of the , Commission, or i
of production facilities o'f the Commission." Similarl.y, . the Congress by simultaneous amendment of Sections 101 and ; 103 (P.L. 84-1006, 7 Stat. 1069, Sections 11 and 12) has i forbidden the "use" of any utilization facility without a
'
license, has authorized by express words the J.icensing of .
'
the "use" of any utilization facility only under Section 103, *.
!
'
and has not expressly nor by implication authorized the i , licensing of the "use" of any utilization facility under i l
. ;.
Section 104. So, Co,ngress, under the doctrine of exeressio l
- unius exclusio alterius, by expressly requiring the licensing of " commercial" utilization facilities under Section , 103 of
