In the Matter of )

FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY ) Docket Nos. 50-335-CO
) 50-389-CO (St. Lucie Nuclear Plant) )
NRC STAFF RESPONSE TO SEC REQUEST FOR HEARING AND LEAVE TO INTERVENE INTRODUCTION Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(h)(1), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff ("Staff")
hereby responds to the July 2, 2008, "Request for Hearing and Leave to Intervene" ("Request")
filed by Saporito Energy Consultants ("
SEC"), through its President, Thomas Saporito.
1 As discussed below, SEC's Request should be denied because it has failed to establish standing, is seeking to litigate concerns that are outside the scope of the issues which may be raised in a
hearing on the Order it challenges, 2 and fails to meet the contention admissibility requirements.
BACKGROUND Florida Power & Light Company ("FPL") owns and operates the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant
("St. Lucie") located in Jensen Beach, Florida, under a license issued by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission ("NRC"). On or about March 10, 2005, two contractors documented a work order
to indicate that they had used the torque wrench specified in the work order when, in fact, they 1 It should be noted that although Mr. Saporito generally refers to his company as either SEC or Saporito Energy Consultant s, the signature block shows that Mr. Saporito signed as the President of "Florida Energy Consultants."
2 On June 13, 2008, a "Confirmatory Order (Effect ive Immediately)" was issued to Florida Power and Light Company regarding St. Lucie Nuclear Plant ("Order"). ADAMS Accession No. ML081650261. had used a different torque wrench.
3 This was apparently done to conceal their over-torquing of a valve.4 On April 2, 2008, the NRC sent FPL a letter detailing the results of an NRC Office of Investigations ("OI") investigation into that matter.
5 The Letter documented two apparent violations associated with FPL's initial review and investigation into the matter.
6 The first apparent violation involved the Mechanical Maintenance Senior Plant
Supervisor's deliberate creation of an incomplete condition report.
7 In an apparent violation of 10 C.F.R. § 50.9, which states in pertinent part that information provided to the Commission or
required to be maintained by the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material
respects, the condition report did not document the falsified work order.
8 The Staff found this to be material because it concealed the violation of a work procedure and the questionable
trustworthiness of the two contract maintenance workers.
9 For instance, had the condition report been complete and accurate, FPL's procedures would have required an evaluation of the
two contract workers' suitability for continued unescorted access and possible entry into the
Personnel Access Data System ("PADS").

4 Id. 5 Letter from Kriss M. Kennedy, Director, NRC Division of Reactor Safety to J.A. Stall, Senior Vice President, FPL, Apr. 2, 2008 (ADA MS Accession No. ML080930372) ("Letter").
6 Id. at 1. 7 Id. 8 Id. 9 Id. 10 Id. PADS is "a computer-based system for recording background information on employees who have worked with temporary access authorization at one or more nuclear power facilities. PADS provides a corps of 'pre-approved' nuclear em ployees whose unescorted access authorization can be granted by successive licensee employers who subscri be to PADS and who access it for a record of the applicant's history in the industry." SECY 110, Report on Inspection and Programmatic Findings Relating to the Carl C. Drega Incident, attach.
1, at 4 (May 20, 1998) (ADAMS Accession No. (continued. . .) The second apparent violation involved the Mechanical Maintenance Senior Plant Supervisor's deliberate failure to contact the appropriate site security manager in order to
initiate the assessment of the trustworthiness and reliability of the two contract technicians.
11 By failing to contact the site security manager, FPL did not meet the Access Authorization program objective in 10 C.F.R. § 73.56(b)(1), which provides high assurance that individuals granted
unescorted access are trustworthy and reliable, and do not constitute an unreasonable risk to
the public health and safety, including a potential to commit radiological sabotage.
12 Had the supervisor contacted the site security manager, the information would have been considered in
evaluating the two contract workers' suitability for continued unescorted access and possible
entry into PADS.
13 The NRC and FPL entered into an alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") session on May 16, 2008, mediated by a professional, independent mediator. An agreement was reached
between the NRC and FPL at the ADR session, and a confirmatory order was issued pursuant
to that agreement. The Order requires FPL to perform eleven corrective actions and
enhancements it committed to during the ADR session ("Commitments") within six months of
the date of issuance of the Order.
14 The Staff asserts in the Order that the agreed-upon Commitments are necessary to ensure that, in the future, corrective actions and a
(. . .continued)

12 Id. 13 Id. 14 Order at 6. The eleven commitments encompass mu ltiple types of training, procedure revision, and reviews. trustworthiness and reliability assessment will be performed.
15 The NRC Staff concluded that "with these commitments, the public health and safety are reasonably assured."
16 The Order states that "[a]ny person adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order, other than the Licensee, may request a hearing within 20 days of its issuance."
17 The Order further specifies the issue to be considered at hearing, stating "if a hearing is held, the issue to be
considered at such hearing shall be whether this Confirmatory Order should be sustained."
18 The Order states that a person requesting the hearing must "set forth with particularity the
manner in which his interest is adversely affect ed by this Order and shall address the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309 (d) and (f)."
19 On July 2, 2008, SEC filed its Request, which set forth three contentions. First, SEC claims that "the 'root-cause' of the licensees' 10 CFR 2.309(d)(1), violation of 10 CFR
73.56(b)(1) . . . have not been adequately determined for corrective action."
20 Second, SEC claims that "[t]he NRC's failure to take enforcement action by imposing a significant civil penalty 15 Id. at 3-4.
16 Id. at 7. 17 Id. at 10. 18 Id. at 10. 19 Id. at 10. Further, 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(d)(1), gener al requirements for standing, requires that a petitioner state: (i) The name, address, and telephone num ber of the petitioner, (ii) The nature of the petitioner's right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding, (iii) The nature and extent of the requestor's/petitioner's property, financial or other interest in the proceeding; and (iv) The possible effect of any decision or order that may be issued in the
proceeding on the requestor's/petitioner's interest.
10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f) addresses contention admi ssibility requirements, which are addressed further below.
20 Request at 2 (emphasis in original). to the licensee does nothing to protect public health and safety because the licensee will not be adequately deterred for recurrence of this violation in the future."
21 Third, SEC claims that "[t]he NRC does not have requisite jurisdiction and/or authority to adjudicate or resolve licensee
violations through utilization of an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program."
22 For the reasons set forth below, SEC's Request should be denied.
DISCUSSION A. SEC Fails to Establish Standing to Intervene To obtain a hearing, a petitioner must demonstrate that he or she has standing and has proffered at least one admissible contention.
23 To establish standing, a petitioner must show:
"(1) an 'injury in fact' (2) that is fairly traceable to the challenged action and (3) is likely to be
redressed by a favorable decision."
24 In license renewal proceedings, standing to intervene has been found to exist based upon a proximity presumption.
25 The proximity presumption establishes standing without the need to establish the elements of injury, causation, or
redressability.
26 In reactor licensing proceedings, licensing boards have typically applied the proximity presumption to persons "who reside or frequent the area within a 50-mile radius" of 21 Id. (emphasis in original).
22 Id. 23 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(a).

ADOT"), quoting Maine Yankee Atomic Power Co. (Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station), CLI-04-5, 59 NRC 52, 57 n.16 (2004).
25 See, e.g., Entergy Nuclear Generation Co. and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station), LBP-06-23, 64 NRC 257, 271 (2006); AmerGen Energy Co. LLC (Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station), LBP-06-07, 63 NRC 188, 196-197 (2006);

26 Turkey Point , LBP-01-06, 53 NRC at 150 (2001). the plant in question.
27 However, although the proximity presumption may be sufficient to establish standing in reactor licensing proceedings, in challenges to enforcement orders, petitioners must address and demonstrate all three elements of standing.
28 In Davis-Besse
, 29 a case concerning challenges to a confirmatory order, petitioners attempted to demonstrate standing based on their living within 30 miles of the nuclear power
plant, their general concerns for personal and public health and safety, and the effects of
operation of the nuclear power plant on the surrounding environment.
30 The Davis-Besse Licensing Board found that although such proximity to a nuclear power plant might be sufficient
to establish standing in a reactor operating license proceeding, they failed to demonstrate the
requisite injury-in-fact to establish standing in the much narrower context of the confirmatory
order.31 SEC states that: (1) its president, Thomas Saporito, is a U.S. citizen, therefore SEC has an "inherent right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding," (2) its real and personal
property "can be adversely affected" in the event of a radiological release, which "could forever
compromise the environment where the requestor's/petitioner's reside, live, and do business",
and finally (3) that a decision in SEC's favor "could substantially protect the interests of the
requestor's/petitioner's environmental, property, and economic viability."

28 See FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. (Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1), LBP 11, 59 NRC 379, 385 (2004), aff'd CLI-04-23, 60 NRC 154 (2004);

31 Davis-Besse , LBP-04-11, 59 NRC at 385.
32 Request at 1-2. SEC's assertions fail to establish standing. While SEC does refer to the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(d)(1), SEC does not demonstrate how its interests can be affected by the
issues before the Commission.
33 Instead, SEC's statements attempt to show that by its location relative to St. Lucie, any problem at the plant could adversely affect SEC's interests.
34 To the extent that SEC attempts to base its standing on proximity, however, SEC has not
demonstrated any nexus between the subject of the Order and potential radiological-release.
35 Analogous to the Davis-Besse case, SEC here has failed to demonstrate any redressable injury-in-fact; therefore, SEC has not demonstrated standing to intervene and the Request
should be denied.
B. SEC Fails to Proffer an Admissible Contention SEC does not proffer an admissible contention because it challenges issues that are outside the scope of this proceeding and fails to meet the contention admissibility requirements. 1. SEC's Contentions are Outside the Scope of the Proceeding Intertwined within the standing and contention admissibility requirements is "the threshold question . . . [of] whether the hearing request is within the scope of the proceeding 33 Davis-Besse , LBP-04-11, 59 NRC at 385.
34 It should be noted that the address SEC provides in its Request appears to be a post office box located at the Jupiter, Florida post office.
See United States Postal Servic e, http://www.switchboard.com/

A licensing board has prev iously found that writing from a post office box and failing to provide a residential home address constituted part of the basis to deny standing in a petition to intervene. Int'l Uranium (USA) Corp. (White Mesa Uranium Mill; Alternate Feed Material), LBP 97-12, 46 N.R.C. 1, 8 (1997), aff'd CLI-98-6, 47 NRC 116 (1998).
35 As the Licensing Board in NFS stated, "[p]roximity undoubtedly would be a pertinent consideration if a petitioner assert ed that the activities contemplated in the challenged order would result in circumstances that would generat e particular off-site impacts (e.g., radiation releases) at the relevant distance."
Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., (Special Nuclear Facility (Conf irmatory Order)), LBP-07-16, 66 NRC 277, 294 n.91, 300-01 (2007) ("
NFS"). outlined in the enforcement order itself."
36 The Commission has the authority to define the scope of a hearing, 37 "including limiting a proceeding regarding an enforcement order narrowly to the issue of whether the order should be sustained,"
38 as is the case here. Issues that address sustainability of an order are whether the issuance of the order is unwarranted, thus
requiring relaxation of the order, or whether the order is affirmatively detrimental to the public
health and safety, thus requiring rescission, not supplementation.
39 Therefore, petitioners may not challenge enforcement orders on the grounds that the order is "too weak or otherwise
insufficient," because "Boards are not to consider whether [enforcement] orders need
strengthening."
40 Further, as stated in the Order, only persons adversely affected by the Order have the right to request a hearing.
41 Thus, petitioners are:
required to show that his or her request is within the scope of the proceeding by demonstrating that he or she will be adversely
affected by the actual terms of the enforcement order as they
exist, rather than as a consequence of the Order lacking certain
provisions the petitioner claims are necessary.

(Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station), CLI-82-16, 16 NRC 44 (1982); Davis-Besse , CLI-04-23, 60 NRC at 157-58; Maine Yankee , CLI-04-5, 59 NRC at 56; Public Service Co. of Indiana (Marble Hill Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2), CLI-80-10, 11 NRC 438, 441-42 (1980).

40 ADOT , CLI-04-26, 60 NRC at 404.
41 Order at 10 (emphasis added).
42 NFS , LBP-07-16, 66 NRC at 293. To put it another way, petitioners:
must show that he, she, or it would be adversely affected by the enforcement order as it exists, rather than being adversely
affected by the existing order as it might be compared to a
hypothetical order that the petitioner asserts would be an
improvement.
43 SEC's first contention states that the NRC did not adequately "determine[]" the "root-cause" of FPL's violation for corrective action.
44 This amounts to a challenge either to the Staff's analysis of the facts, or the enforcement action chosen to address the facts. In either instance, they are outside the scope of permissible challenges to enforcement actions. In ADOT , the Commission reversed a licensing board decision granting a hearing on a contention that
challenged "the Staff's assessment and analysis of the facts underlying the issuance of the
Confirmatory Order."
45 In overruling the licensing board, the Commission stated that "allowing a petitioner to attack a confirmatory order under the guise of a factual dispute would effectively
permit an end run around Bellotti."46 The Commission went on to state that "[t]he NRC Staff has considerable latitude in choosing enforcement weapons, and [a petitioner's] (or the Board's)
disapproval of the remedy the Staff selected does not justify reopening an enforcement
proceeding."
47 The Commission also made clear that "[t]he precise enforcement sanction to impose is within the Staff's sound discretion" and licensing boards are not "to try to supervise 43 Id. at 285. 44 Request at 2.
45 ADOT , CLI-04-26, 60 NRC at 408.
46 Id. 47 Id. at 409. the Staff's actions."
48 Thus, SEC's Contention 1 is clearly outside the scope of permissible challenges to enforcement orders and must be rejected.
SEC's second contention states that the NRC should have imposed "a significant civil penalty."49 In NFS , one of the six petitioners challenged the confirmatory order on the basis that the NRC should have issued a civil penalty along with the confirmatory order.
50 The NFS Licensing Board dismissed the contention as calling for the enforcement order to be
strengthened.
51 The same logic applies here. SEC's claim that the Order is inadequate to protect public health and safety because only a monetary penalty will provide adequate
deterrence for future violations is a clear request to supplement the Order because it is not
robust enough as is. Therefore, Contention 2 falls outside the scope of permissible challenges
to enforcement orders and must be rejected.
SEC's third contention states that the NRC does not have the "jurisdiction and/or
authority to adjudicate or resolve licensee violations through utilization of an Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) program."
52 The NRC's general policy statement regarding the use of ADR states that "[t]he Commission supports and encourages the use of ADR where appropriate."
53 In 2004, the NRC implemented a pilot program for the voluntary use of ADR in enforcement
cases regarding wrongdoing.
54 The NRC's Enforcement Policy contains the "Interim 48 Id. at 410. 49 Request at 2.
50 NFS , LBP-07-16, 66 NRC at 306.
51 Id. at 285. 52 Request at 2.

14, 1992).
54 NRC Enforcement Policy; Alternative Dispute Resolution; Policy Statement, 69 Fed. Reg. (continued. . .) Enforcement Policy Regarding the Use of Alternative Dispute Resolution," which details the current scope of ADR.
55 The Commission has stated that contentions are to be rejected if, as is the case here, a petitioner seeks an adjudicatory hearing "to express generalized grievances
about NRC policies."
56 The Commission has further stated that any contention that merely attempts to advance a petitioner's view of what a particular NRC policy ought to be is
inadmissible.
57 Thus, contention three is an impermissible generalized grievance regarding NRC policy and does not address the sustainability of the Order. Therefore, it must be rejected.
- 2. SEC's Contentions Do Not Meet the Requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1)
SEC, along with failing to demonstrate standing or proffer a contention within the
permissible scope of proceedings on confirmatory orders, has failed to offer a contention
meeting the contention admissibility requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1). To have an
admissible contention, petitioners must demonstrate and "set forth with particularity" six
separate criteria:
(1) provide a specific statement of the legal or factual issue sought to be raised;
(2) "provide a brief explanation of the basis for the contention";
(3) demonstrate that the issue raised is within the scope of the
proceeding;

findings the NRC must make to support the action that is involved
in the proceeding";
(5) provide a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinions, including references to specific sources and documents, that support the petitioner's position and upon which the petitioner
intends to rely at the hearing; and
(6) provide sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute
exists with regard to a material issue of law or fact, including
references to specific portions of the application that the petitioner
disputes, or in the case when the application is alleged to be
deficient, the identification of such deficiencies and supporting
reasons for this belief.
58 A "[f]ailure to comply with any of these requirements is grounds for the dismissal of a contention."
59 SEC's contentions meet the first criteria, the concise statement of issue to be raised; however, the three contentions fail to meet any of the other five criteria. Therefore, any one of the reasons below support rejection of SEC's three contentions.
The Commission has stated that "mere 'notice pleading' is insufficient" to support an admissible contention.
60 As such, "[g]eneral assertions or conclusions will not suffice."
61 SEC provides a brief statement of its contentions, but sets forth no supporting facts or expert opinion
necessary to support the contentions; it also fails to provide even a brief explanation of the
basis for the contentions. Therefore, SEC's contentions fail to meet criteria two and five.
Further, as demonstrated above, SEC's contentions fall outside the scope of permissible 58 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1);
see also Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., (Special Nuclear Facility (Confirmatory Order)), LBP-07-16, 66 NRC 277, 285 (2007).

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant and Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3), CLI-00-22, 52 NRC 266, 295 (2000). challenges to confirmatory orders; therefore, SEC fails to meet the third criterion of contention admissibility. To meet the requirements of the fourth criterion, a petitioner must be able to show
"some significant link between the claimed deficiency and either the health and safety of the
public, or the environment."
62 SEC states in each contention that the NRC's Order or other actions do not "protect public health and safety." However, by failing to provide any support for
those claims, SEC cannot show the required "significant link;" thus, SEC's three contentions fail
to meet the fourth criterion. Finally, because SEC has failed to show how any of its three
contentions addresses the sustainability of the Order, SEC also fails to meet the sixth criterion.
Therefore, because SEC's three contentions each fail five out of the six criteria for an
admissible contention, all must be rejected and the Request denied.
CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, SEC has failed to establish standing, seeks to litigate
concerns that are outside the scope of the issues which may be raised in a hearing on the
Order it challenges, and failed to meet the contention admissibility requirements. Therefore, SEC's Request should be denied.
