3. 3. CENTER NOTES -- A 'Seriously Defective' Decision -- Judge's decision on proposed uranium mines appealed

   In a September 3 petition for review, or appeal, to the five-member Commission, ENDAUM and SRIC charged that three rulings by NRC Licensing Board Judge Peter Bloch were "fraught with legal error and seriously defective factual findings" and suffered from "the complete failure to address large portions of the evidence" presented by ENDAUM, SRIC and two other intervenors in legal briefs, expert testimony, and supporting documentation filed earlier this year.
   ...
   Potential health risks: The appeal criticized Bloch for using his "personal misperceptions gleaned from a single visit to the Church Rock area" to conclude that "the vastness of the desert -- raises serious questions about how this project at Church Rock Section 8 would possibly have any serious adverse impact on the people of the area." The appeal noted that Bloch all but ignored the groups' expert testimony and supporting documentation (some of which was derived from a local land-use survey conducted by ENDAUM and SRIC staffs in January and February) that showed that at least 350 people live within 2.5 miles of the HRI site and between 800 and 900 live in more than 170 residences in a 5.5-mile radius, and that these families collectively graze more than 1,400 head of livestock on those lands.
   
   Impacts of the ISL process on groundwater: The appeal charged that Bloch erred in several technical areas, including (1) accepting HRI's hydro-geological "homogeneity" model over more elaborate "heterogeneous" models proffered by the Intervenors' four groundwater experts, and that this error permeated the decision; (2) relying on an unsubstantiated theory put forth by the NRC staff and refuted by ENDAUM's and SRIC's geochemist that uranium and other contaminants would chemically reattach to the surface of the rocks if contaminated mining fluids escaped the mining zone; and (3) erroneously concluding that groundwater restoration would likely be successful despite evidence showing that restoration at a pilot scale uranium ISL mine in the Crownpoint area was not successful in the 1980s and that restoration has not been successful yet at commercial-scale ISL mines in Wyoming after more than 20 years of ISL mining experience.
   
   The project need: The appeal said that Bloch's decision in essence ignored the Intervenors' arguments that there is no need for the project in light of the extensive uranium supplies that are available now and for the next decade or longer, and failed to address the groups' "evidence and expert testimony that -- additional uranium mining will have an adverse effect on the uranium market and national security."
   
   ENDAUM and SRIC also charged that Bloch's procedural decisions during the course of the adjudication were biased in favor of HRI and the NRC Staff; that he illegally divided, or "bifurcated," the hearing to consider only impacts from one site (Section 8), despite the fact that HRI's NRC license authorizes ISL mining at all four proposed sites; and that he illegally placed the burden of proof on the Intervenors.
   
   HRI Wants Sanctions Against ENDAUM, SRIC
   
   Only four working days after Peter Bloch issued his August 20 decision affirming HRI's uranium ISL license, the company filed a "Motion for Suspension or, in the Alternative, Reprimand or Censure and Request for Attorneys Fees," alleging that ENDAUM, SRIC and their attorneys "repeatedly have engaged in disruptive, contemptuous and borderline libelous conduct" during the year-long hearing on HRI's license.
