NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-458-OLA; ASLBP No. 93-680-04-OLA]
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; Hearing
September 13, 1994.
In the Matter of: Gulf States Utilities Co., et al. River Bend
Station, Unit 1.
Before Administrative Judges:
B. Paul Cotter, Jr., Chairman
Dr. Richard F. Cole
Dr. Peter S. Lam
This proceeding concerns two license amendments for the River Bend
Station, a nuclear facility located in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. The
amendments: (1) Authorize Gulf States Utilities Company to become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Entergy Corporation; and (2) designate
Entergy Operations, Inc. as a new licensee to operate, manage, and
maintain River Bend.
In response to a Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, 58 FR 36,423,
36,435-36 (1993), Cajun Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Cajun) petitioned
to intervene in this proceeding. On December 16, 1993, the NRC Staff
issued the license amendments requested, and on January 27, 1994 an NRC
Licensing Board admitted Cajun as an intervener (LBP-94-3, 39 NRC 3).
The decision to admit Cajun was subsequently affirmed by the Commission
on August 24, 1994 (CLI-94-10, 39 NRC ____).
Please take notice that a hearing will be conducted in this
proceeding. Matters currently at issue are Cajun's contention that the
proposed license amendments may result in a reduction in the margin of
safety at River Bend caused by underfunding of the facility.
During the course of the proceeding, the Board may hold prehearing
conferences, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.752, as well as evidentiary hearing
sessions, at times and places to be announced hereafter, through
notices published in the Federal Register and made available at the
Public Document Rooms noted below.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.715(a), any person, not a party to the
proceeding, will be permitted to submit a written limited appearance
statement setting forth his or her position on the issues. These
statements, which may be submitted at any time during the proceeding,
do not constitute testimony or evidence but may assist the Board and
the parties in defining the issues to be considered. Persons desiring
to submit a limited appearance statement should transmit any such
statement to the Office of the Secretary, Docketing and Service Branch,
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555. A copy of
such statements should also be served on the Chairman of this Licensing
Board. At a later date, the Board will consider whether or not to hold
a session in which to hear oral limited appearance statements.
Documents related to this proceeding are available for public
inspection at the NRC Document Room, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20555, and at the local public document room, Louisiana State
University, Troy H. Middleton Library, Government Documents Department,
Baton Rogue, Louisiana 70803.
