I. INTRODUCTION On July 25, 1974, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (hereinafter the Board) issued its Prehearing Conference Order #2.

AMP-OHIO is frankly surprised at the requirement of the Board that its position on nexus be made more precise than it has already been in its Petition to Intervene, the Rcquest for Reconsider-ation of Tentative Denial of Petition to Intervene filed by AMP-OHIO, the Joint Statement referred to by the Board supra, oral argument before the Board at the various hearings held, and in the letter from O'Brien 6 Gere, AMP-OHI0's consulting engineers, on file with this Board as an exhibit. This is particularly so since the Board has already found AMP-OHIO's contentions to be a "... sufficient pleading of nexus to permit AMP-O's intervention in the Perry proceeding.' 2/

There is no doubt that the addition of Perry will have an overati impact on CEI's total system, although the nature and extent of that impact-can only be delineated through the normal processes of discovery.

III. Conclusion In light of the schedule established by the Board, it is apparent that the issues posed by AMP-OHIO will now be resolved within a definitive time frame. AMP-OHIO intends to vigorously pursue discovery and participate fully in these proceedings. CEI is and has always been fully aware of AMP-OHIO's interest herein and has always understood the issues posed by AMP-OllIO. If, in the discovery process, CEI believes that JJIP-0!!IO sccks information not germanc to the issues posed, then CUI has recourse to this Board pursuant to the Commission's Rules and Regulations. Hcpefully, however, all parties now have a full under-standing of the position of AMP-OllIO and its relationship to CEI and discovery processes can commence in an orderly fashion.

Re: Amp-Ohio, Inc.  !

PASNY Power ,

File: 1243.001 l

Dear Ri ck:

We are making the following comments at your request concerning the March 15, 1974 Memorandum and Order of the Atomic Energy i Commission relative to the proposed Perry Nuclear Power Station. l 1

On Page 10 of the Memorandum, the Board states that "the peti- l tioner seems to be saying that the sole nexus involved here is that the Perry Plant would merely affect the ' wheeling' capacity of CEI's transmission system." This is not the sole nexus; i there is alra the question of overall power system stability l ,

that was raised in our letter of February 28, 1974. ,

We shall comment first on the question of wheeling. Refer to the guidelines in Waterford which the Board says must be met to establish a nexus. On Page 1170 of Waterford, allegations i (2) and (5) most certainly apply in the case at issue. The Cleveland Electric does control the bulk power transmission system which is the last vital link for the wheeling of PASNY power and with the installation of the major Perry Plant may i be in the position to load transmission circuits to preclude  :

the delivery of power from the Power Authority of the State of New York to the City of Cleveland.  ;

i l

l l

John T. Brown , Esq. .

Ma rch 29,,1974 Page Two As mentioned above, the question of stability must also be reviewed.

The author has had considerable experience in power system analysis, having served as a utility representative on a special Federal Power Commission study of the November 1965 Northeast power interruption.

It is almost the universal practice in power sys tem planning to fully represent area transmission and generating facilities in system transient stability studies to determine if the addition of a major gonerating plant could result in condi tions following a system dis-turbance tha t would result in sys tem ins tability and the break-up ,

of the area transmission system. 1 i

In this instance , there is the danger of the Cleveland Municipal '[

System, radial to the transmission f acilities of the Cleveland

Electric Illuminating Company on a tie ordered by the Federal  ;

Power Commission , separating f rom the interconnected system. i This separation would not only interrupt the delivery of PASHY.  !

power but i t would also sever the system from the availability  :

o f eme rgency power. The Cleveland Electric . Illuminating Company  ;

is a member of ECAR, the area transmitting reliability group, and l has access to all pertinent system data; whereas, AMP-Ohio is l not a member of this group and does not have access to the neces-sary information to test the sys tem for a load and stabili ty con-ditions. The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company must dem- ,

onstrate that computer model simulation has included the vital  ;

wheeling facilities for PASNY power and of full representation .

of the Municipal Generating Facilities in stability studies.
