EILEEN I. ELLIOTT OF COUNSEL MARK A. SAUNDERS OFFICE OF SECRETARY RULEMAKINGS AND ANDREW N. RAUBVOGEL ADJUDICATIONS STAFF July 18, 2008 Alex S. Karlin Richard E.

(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station),
Docket No. 50-271-LR, ASLBP No. 06-849-03-LR
Dear Administrative Judges:
On July 11, Counsel for the NRC Staff informed the Board and parties that one of its two witnesses on NEC's Contentions 2A and 2B, Dr. Kenneth Chang, is unavailable to testify at the upcoming Board hearing due to a medical condition, and could not be available "any time soon." Dr. Chang directed the Staff review of Entergy's CUFen analyses, participated in the Staff s on-site audit and "personally reviewed the sections associated with metal fatigue and the fatigue monitoring program," and wrote Section 4.3.3 of the SER. See, Affidavit of Kenneth C. Chang Concerning NEC Contentions 2A
& 2B (Metal Fatigue) at A2. The testimony of the Staff s other Contention 2A and 2B witness, John Fair, indicates that he played a much lesser role. Mr. Fair was not assigned to review the Vermont Yankee LRA, but "advised colleagues in reviewing Entergy's metal fatigue submissions." See, Affidavit of John R. Fair Concerning NEC Contentions 2A & 2B (Metal Fatigue) at A2.
This situation is certainly irregular in that the NRC Staff is seeking to submit prefiled testimony without making the witness available to testify at the hearing. This will deprive the Board of the ability to fully explore the NRC Staff s position on Contentions 2A and 2B, and no witness will be available to answer NEC's proposed direct examination questions concerning Dr. Chang's testimony.

- A/so admitted in the State of Maine
- Also admitted in the District of Columbia
NEC requests that the Board require NRC Staff Counsel to further explain the' circumstances of Dr. Chang's unavailability, including when Staff Counsel was first aware that Dr. Chang might not be available to testify. NEC also requests that the Board consider holding the record on NEC's Contentions 2A and 2B open following the July 21-25 hearing to allow Dr. Chang to appear at a later date.
