I IDENTIFICATION OF PETITIONERS AND THEIR INTERESTS TO BE AFFECTED A. Saginaw Valley Nuclear Study Group

. Saginaw Valley Nuclear Study Group is an unincorporated association comprised of citizens and residents of Michigan and comprised of organizations whose membership includes residents of Michigan and resider.ts of states other than Michigan, all of whom are interested in the dissemination of information and stimulation of public awareness and involvement in the study of nuclear power. Prcceeding from this t

educational base, this petitioner is also pledged and committed to prevent the unsafe and unbridled use of nuclear power particularly when such uso does not result from the most officient accommodation betwcon all available power sources and man and his environment. This petitioner has analyzed

utu studied, to the extent information has been made available, the proposed Midland Plant Units 1 and 2 (" Midland Plants"), and is concerned, as set forth in more specific deta". below, that the construction and operation of the Midland Plants will result in an unsafe and inefficient exercise of the use of atomie energy, will create deleterious and adverse offects upon the City of Alialanil, Alichigan and elsewhere, will contribute to ar.d create adverse environmental effects which can be avoided, and will result in irretrievabic and irreversible commitments of natural ~and other resources which, consider-ing all of the alternatives and circumst:mecs, ircluding the alleged need for elet trical power, would not be advantageous.

2. In addition to its educational and c,ther goals and interests descril:ed above, the Saginaw Valley Nuclear Study Group, by virtue of its individual members, the original of which are citizens and residents of Midland, Michigan, are concerned about the imposition of a nuclear plant, or plants, essentially situated within the heart of a small community. Such

' concerns include not only nuclear and radiological safety but also include a humanistic concern about the siting of two nuclear power plants in a manner which is contrary to reason, logic, tne criteria promulgated by the Atomic Energy Commission and the standards of the National 2nvironmental Policy l Act.

3. The Saginaw Valley Nuclear Study Group's interests will be adversely affected by the issuance of a construction permit for the Midland i

Plant as wcll as the construction of the Proposed Plan;s because, as more fully set forth below, the construction of the Midland Plants will proliferate l

nnelear power, with all its consequent and attendant dangers, at a time w:len insulficient it formation is available to attest to the completc safety of .ae i, eration of a nuclear power plant. This lack of information, e.s. entin:!y ignored by utilities and the Atomic Energy Commission,

.mi re.w..itiag in a position not necessarily in the public interest or coasis. cat wiCa the protection of the public health and safety, also concerns the Saginaw Valley Nuclear Study Group in that nuclear power is being pro-raoted pursuant to inefficient and non-current safety and engineering data,  ;

outdatet., narrow, incomplete and inadequate standards and criteria con-eernia,, radimion releases, and a significant if not total lack of understanding and accommodation to man and his environment, B. Mic:tiran Citizens

4. Michigan Citizens is a group of citizens who reside in what is commonly known as the Tri-City area. The 'Iri-City area is comprised c' The ircatar metropolitan area of Midland, Saginaw ar.d Bay City, Michigan.

Michigna Citizens are employees, farmers, worxers, students, educators, home owners, apartment dwellers, businessmen and professionals of all discipliacs, all of whom have an abiding interest in the continued growth and developinent of the greater metropolitan Tri-City area. These citizens are concerned, as more specifically set forth below, that their life styles, their occupations, and tacir investments, both emotional and financial, will be threatened by the construction and operation of the proposed plants at Midland.

5. In addition to Michigan Citizens' concera over the growth and i

i ces otop.nent of the economic and business communities of the greater metrcpolitan Tri-City area, Michigan Citizens are alsc concerned because .

I they live geographically close enough to the proposed Midland Plants to be sczicus:y and adversely affected by the radioactive and gaseous effluents waica are planned to be emitted from the Midland Plants during its normal

35. In light of these circumstances, Applicant has not adequately

.i. n..c.:cre.!cd reasonnble a.ssurance that it is in a position to be financially 6,uclit;e.1 to design and construct the proposed facilitics.

C. Technient Qualifications .

3G. Petitioners are concerned about the :cchnical qualifications of.ipplie:c.; and its construction team including Babcock and Wilcox and 1chte! Corporation.

37. Consumers Powcr Company has had no exp2rience at all wiu: respect to the design, construction and operaticn of nuclear power plants c_ t.w .s:zc nnd type of both Midland Plants and, although Arplicant asserts thnt ic.> c.p.rience with respect to the Big Rock Platt is a ! ound basis for

.:a: npalatica projections, petitioners believe that th) obvicus differences ,

in eize and gcueratir.g capacitics betwcon Big Rock rnd the proposed Midlar.d Plat.ts offer no basis for reasonable assurance that expericnce in one would crc.rf over or provido a basis for projecting experience in another. -

38. Despite the fact that Eabecek and Wilcox, :he design contractor ;

on thh; job, has had nothing but a history of failurcs with respect to its d.:ai.;nh:g und fnbrienting of components for nuclear facilitics, Applicant has coluciad '.hhcock and Wilcox as the designer for its Midlard Plants.

linbcech and Wilcox as lato as Novembci 1930 admitted fac;s to reporters ,

! of Fortu...: Magazine which lead to the conclusion thtt Babcock and Wilcox,

. ilhca.J. e.:perienced in the production of conventional boilers, had lasuffi-e!. cat cf.;.00tise and cf.3crience when it wcat about tc. desigr. and build pec.-:s.ree vessels for ato:nic reactors. Babcock an:i Wilecx has lost mone3-1.1.t.s ve..twees and its tima schedules with respect to the 1 roduction of vcsui, ,

we.v, n.. <.? late 1930, more than seventeen months lato. Petitioners are concerned Q:.t :h. .ccek and Wilcox will be more intercuted in completing the installation

and apration of one of its nuclear vessels rathcr than dealing with the complex .screty problems.

30. Bechtcl Corporation has had a recent history of being unaw ..d.x;uately to h:mdle quality assurance and quality control in the ec.n:r.:eLion of a pressurized water reactor which is equal ;o but onc of tha w/o 1.=.s proposed at Midland. The public roccrd in the Palisados proceeding indicates that Dcchtel Corporation had " shoddy work practices" and was guilty many times of " flagrant violations of established rules and quali;y control procedures." In light of Bechtc1's performance in the Pali:<.da Phnt, petitioncrs are concerned that if Bochtel :'ollows a similar shoddy c,uality assurance prc;; ram at Midland, it will ultim.ltcly affect the saicty of the plants as designed and constructed.

0. Pctitioners are further concerned about Applicant's technical respca .hility as well as its competcuce in overviewing any failurcs of Babcock and Wr.cox nnd Bechtel in the courso of the designing and construction of the Midh.c.d Plants. The record indicates' in the Palisades procceding that Apf.iccz.'. wns more interested in building the plcnt than in having the plant ,

hul . acccrding to rigorous high standards of safety. Petit:.onors are ccacca r.ed that if such lach of technical and responsible competence carrios over to t'c. Midland Plants, it will ultimately affect the safety and operation of ;haiMan's because' th's manner by which the Planta are d3 signed and .

consuccted is of significant if.not of prime importa ice in connection with the :.ch.:.1 safe operation of the Proposed Plants.

41. Petitioners intcnd to analyze in detail quality control and Gu.1:Ly assurance procedurcs which are proposed to bo in offect at the manu-Octuring plants at various of the vendors of the major component parts.

Pet:.:cc.crs may also have some question about the technical qualifications e

of cer.a:a of the vendors in addition to those they have now about Bechtel 1

and OaSecek and Wilcox. . IIowever, because the PSAR or any other informa- '

tion pre.<antly hvailable has not enab!cd petitioners to determine who theco '

vendors arc or what o,aality control procedures they will institute, petitioners

, will have to await listing of their contentions, if any, in thi.; regard until

ner pre rial proceedings have been completed.

dise:.c.c;; ed la any form fro.n the Alidland Plants arc different than wliat would ha pernnsdb;c by virtue of valid radiation standards promulgated pursuant o it.c c3;igations of the Atomic Energy Commission under the Atomic Energy ,

4 Act. .

13. Some of the inherent deficiencies wrich result'in the

.n!... tic.a standards being iliegal alc: ' '

(a) The Standards do not ta!ce into account radiation do cs ch:ch 1 :a public may receive from sources other th .n a pa: ticular licensco

...' :.:e Gac.munJion and with respect to this Applican:, no p::ccedurc has been fdwwe:i ce proposed to abate the illegality of the Standards; (b) The Standards do not adequately take into account accumula-ticas ci cmissions of radicactivity which may be present as a result of 0<.'.'c;at'.cd emissions of radioactivity with respect to a licensee and with re.vac. to this Ap? licant, no procedurc has been followed or proposed to .

b;.a e.a 111cgality of the Standards; (c) The Stanc'ards do not adcquately provide for differenccs m tilac.;.ica of radia' ion in d 'icrent human beings in given differing Iccations

; </;th respect to this Applicant, no prccedure has been followed or propo2cd io ;.. :.te the illegality of t!.c Standards; and

(d) T..e Standards do not adequately provide for a tracin:i cient.a :.e.u. of r...:iane;is. j through all pathways by ivhich siich radioactivity

.nny be c.ans;uit:ed to the popalation in a given :irca, as well as which may be tran.nnitted to cach pathway in the ecosystem ia a given gaographical arca

^

and with respect to this " Applicant, no proceduro has been followed or prenosed tc ab:.tc the illegality of the Standards.

44. The Standards for Protection Against Radiation arc based upon on'.medcc., outdated scientific information, most of which is more than fineca years old. Despite the fact that the Atomic Energy Commission has in recent years bcon provided with updated information concerning radiation danger, including increasing projections of genetic diseases, and despite the fact that in '.C'J~, tha Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare cc".c;. u?cn the Atomic Enar;;y Commission to review and revisa its radiation st and:.rs..; , the Conunission has not scen fit to do so und instand is continuing to lis.enac and atiempt to licenscip' ants based upon illagal standards.

43. Assuming the legality of the radiaticr. standnrds, petitioners ccmand ..:st it is illegal to issue a construction permit,looking toward opera- ,

rica vf tho Midland Plants which would permit the Midland Plants the cption of c;.r:..ing et 100 percent of the current radiation stmdards when all of tha ,,

pet;ecticas, as well as public stataments, made by Consumers Powcr Company aium)t to show that the Plants' operations will not c::ceed nore than approxi-nr.tely 5 percent of the radiation standards. ,

40. The Applicant has not analyzed nor considared what design changes it may have to nrJ;c if prior to completion of construction of the wa,,a..cd Plants the radiction standards arc declared illegal or are revised

cu' ..pp.icant must revise downward its projected lic,uid anc. gasecus radioactive

. "a.

. Ic. .. to as much as zero. Morcover, Applicant has neither considered L...; . .c. .ud W.uit changen it would make in the Proposed P ants, if con.uructed,

...a ...c.entter the radiatica standards woro revised or deel tred illegal so that

CoasiderIn;; Qa state of the art and the inherent dangers rer,a..:.. ; iram any rc.dioactive relcasos, ::ctitioners contend that Apphennt is rec,cired, under the Atomic Encrgy Act, to design a plant which contains a rnd!cc.c:ive wasto systcra which prevents any radioactivity in any form trora bein.; emitted into the envirocracnt.

48. Applicant has ncither considered nor analynod the effects on Oc pah:1e of radht;ica wasic products which will be transported from the pir.n si a to varic.rs parts o! Qe United States in the cycn: that such occur-r.*n.:e s .u cecidenis or 1:nor strikes prevent the normal op. ration of such trar.gcr.c ion c.s centem?lcted in the proposed transportatian procedure.

10. The Proposed Plcuts arc designed to emit radiation which .

uredd e.:cced mcxi=ura permissible concenirt. tion levels in the current er: ..i;;cc. :.nndards, cycn if legal, if one considers the reconcentrctica iceer c: ecez:Cn rd.ionuclides, such as, fo cr.mple, Cesium-137 or

, Com:ai <sion's ohiigations under the Atomic lh.cegy Act an( particularly

s ohlm

dion to protect tha health, safety and welfare of the public. The A,yliera; shdald be re, quired prior to he initiation of a hearing to submit to tne A

omic Energy Commission for revicw not oni.y the PSAR but, in (

ad,Ution, all oiher informution used, relied upon or referrod to in connec-tion wi;h the c' rafting of such an application.

73. The Atomic Energy Commission is not presently qualified to con.:ac; adequately the necessary on-site compliance inspections which must he donc during the course of construction of the Propased Plants in ,

crder to asu.:re that even minimum standards will'ce met. Tnis is Locause the !!c3:on of the Cornplianco Staff having jurisdiction over the Proposed Pl: als is ! ndcquately strifed and is unable to make more .han a paper review o" u.c c:. .:c.ruction as it proceeds. Such a review in tantamount to no review nt .ai ...c.::e it 12 aces the responsibility for candor tao heasily upon partici-

• pt.ms v.ho n/c cconomically concerned with the bui131ng and erection of the Pr(QGSed PIRZiS.

74. It is impossibic to determine whether or not the highest and n... cucommedation between the Proposed Plants and man's environmeni; n:... beca made unless and until a complete environmental study has been sic w:.ich in turn doponds upon the final design of the Proposed Plants.

tince ha.h tha Commissica and the Applicant agree that th2y are in no

. nea p:.:4 tion, the starting of a hearing.at this juncatre of incomplcteness

e. ; only result in the utility being faced with major issues. raised against

. .... Prs /,msed Plants cnly citer Applicant has invested scnte S400 million b .... couruction and croction. Such a procedura is nelihor fair to the '

a...hy nor fair to the taxpayers and eicctricity usc::s who will pay the

.u:. Joe eaal of the Proposed Phutts' construction, as well as the Atomic

.L.occy Corami:ssion's activities in connection with such construction.

7:1 Under the Atonnic Ence.:y Act, t Landards fcr the construction and e; . ration of a nucle:ir power plant denomhinted " experimental" are less 8P ,. n. than those denominated as " commercial" reactors. Since there ean iv .:o rerious quc$ tion that the Midland Plants fall in the category of "co.u;..eveint," the Atomic Energy Commission has avoide.1 classifying them ..s noa-c:q)crimental in order to aid the utilitics in brilding reactors at less stringent st;mdards.

76. Despite the existence of Part 100 C.l i.R. and TID 14844, the Commissica is apparcntly about to approve the loca; ion of the Proposed Pim ts in contravention of the criteria set forth in its own .cgulations.

77. Eccause of the Atomic Energy Commission s natiomyide obscGvc of promoting nuclear plants, it has not, in the area of licensing cf ...c.anz reaciocs, adec.cately discharged its obligations under the Atomic Z r.cc. i.c and uchar federal legislation. The Commission has failed to be c4 cure :.nd failcd to consider the possibility that its promotion obje::tives arc ir.;cn.sistent with its regulatory objectives. Th) Cominission has not sv..:... c a legal accommodatica of these inconsiste icios regarding this ,

/ces. ..;.; sinco even in iha oponing sentences of the Commission's ie.. .aaOas D of April and June 1970, the Commission exc ised its lack of s,..e.l.e.ly by sur;gesting that such vagueness is acceptab1c because of a "3rawi..g n

.cd for electric powcr throughout the United St:fes."

78. The Commission has failed io requi: e Applicant and the t..w.c:.e ladustry in general to move forward with all delib 3rato speed in cu .e.:a c rcccacch and devolc,)mont and other testing nccessary to the safe

. J ckn: oparntion of nucicar plants, considering not only safety but

..- c . .a.cntal cm.sticas, but instead has used its power aid efforts to pro-cc.. .' v...i Cc.[liec sing for the construction and operation of nuclear plants in;.... c.ch..c d: cMod lack of experience in all of these areas.
