02i16i99 09:45 HARMON,CURRAN,SPI ~ 919 644 0246 N0.093 D16 <br />-3- <br />out state policies on a local level and authorized to protect the citizens of the County through its <br />police power. The entire county lies within the 50-mile Emergency Planning Zone around the <br />Hams facility, and part of the county lies within 1 S miles of the plant. The proposed license <br />amendment threatens the County's interest in protecting the health and welfare of its citizens and <br />the integrity of the environment in which they live. <br />The risk of injury to Orange County posed by the proposed license amendment is <br />"distinct and palpable." Kelly v. Selin, 42 F.2d 1501, 1508 (6'" Cir.), cert. denied, 115 S.Ct. 2611 <br />(1995), quoting Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.5.490, SO1(1975). The injury is also directly <br />"traceable" to the proposed license application and can be redressed by a decision denying the <br />application. As discussed in the attached comments on the NRC Staff's proposed determination <br />of no significant hazards, the proposed license amendment would raise the probability of an <br />accident at the plant, create the possibility of a new accident not previously reviewed by the <br />NRC, and reduce the plant's safety margin. If the proposed license amendment is granted, there <br />is an increased risk of an accident in the spent fuel pool or the plant, which could cause a <br />significant radiological release to the environment. See Declazation of Gordon Thompson <br />(p'ebruary 12,1999), which is attached to Orange County's Comments in Opposition to No <br />i Significant Hazards Determination aad Conditional Request for a Stay of Effectiveness <br />(February 12,1999).= <br />2. Orange County's Interests Fall Within the Zone Protected by the <br />.Atomic Energy Act and the National Eavironmental Policy Act. <br />Orange County seeks a hearing for the purpose of addressing the safety and <br />2Copies of Orange County's comments and Dr. Thompson's Declaration are attached to <br />this pleading, and are adopted and incorporated by reference in support of Orange County's <br />standing to participate in this proceeding. <br />
