DUKE ENERGY CORPORATION'S MOTION TO MODIFY PROTECTIVE ORDER On April 8, 2004, in response to an unopposed motion by Duke Energy Corporation ("Duke"), the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ("Licensing Board") issued a "Memorandum and Order (Protective Order Governing Non-Disclosure of Proprietary Information)" ("Protective Order"). Duke herein requests that the Licensing Board issue an Addendum to the Protective Order.

On April 13, 2004, Duke and Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League

("BREDL") executed a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement pursuant to the Protective Order. Subsequently, to facilitate Duke's May 10, 2004 response to the second set of discovery requests from BREDL, Duke and BREDL agreed that the April 13, 2004 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement would encompass documents proprietary to "Duke's contractors" (e.g., Westinghouse) as well as Duke, Duke Cogema Stone & Webster

("DCS"), and DCS's contractors, and that the remedies provided by Paragraph 4 of the Agreement apply to Duke's contractors as well as Duke, DCS and/or DCS's contractors.

Further, Duke and BREDL agreed to request that the Licensing Board make conforming changes to the Protective Order.

Specifically, Paragraph 4 of the Form of the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement attached to the Protective Order should be revised to state:

4. BREDL agrees that any threatened or existing violation of this Agreement would cause Duke, Duke's contractors, Duke Cogema Stone & Webster ("DCS"), and/or DCS's contractors irreparable harm for which Duke, Duke's contractors, DCS and/or DCS's contractors would not have an adequate remedy at law, and that Duke, Duke's contractors, DCS and/or DCS's contractors shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief prohibiting such violation in addition to any other rights or remedies. If a party is liable to the other on account of this Agreement, the measure of damages shall include any amount for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages and/or lost profits.

Attached is a copy of a proposed Addenda to the Protective Order. Counsel for BREDL and the NRC Staff have indicated that they have no objection to this amendment.
