) November 15, 2015 ENTERGYS ANSWER OPPOSING NEW YORKS MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE FIVE HEARING EXHIBITS Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(c), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) hereby opposes the Motion for Leave to File Five Hearing Exhibits (Motion) filed by New York State (New York) on November 13, 2015. The Board should deny the Motion because it improperly seeks to augment New Yorks prefiled testimony in an untimely fashion, without good cause. All of the new materials New York proffers could and should have been introduced long ago, and its introduction at the eve of the hearing is prejudicial to Entergy, whose experts will have insufficient time to review this new information.

More than five months after the deadline for new or revised prefiled direct testimony, more than two months after the deadline for pre-filed rebuttal testimony, after multiple rounds of testimony from New York on each of the Track 2 contentions, and on the Friday night (after business hours) before the start of the evidentiary hearing on Monday, New York now seeks to introduce five new documents into evidence.1 The documents consist of two technical documents that have been available since June 2014 and August 2007, respectively, concerning primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) in Alloy 690 and other materials 1

In fact, during consultation on the Motion, counsel for New York was unable to confirm that these would be the final filings from New York prior to Mondays hearing.

(Technical Documents),2 and three figures developed by New Yorks witnesses to supplement their testimony on various topics (Supplemental Figures).3 Now, on the eve of the hearing, these new exhibitswhich are not based on new information4 and are not necessary to correct or update the record in this proceedingare simply untimely.5 New York states that Dr. Duquette recently identified the Technical Documents as materials he intends to reference in his presentation at the hearing. However, as the Board specified at the pre-hearing conference on November 5, 2015, the requested presentations are not an opportunity to introduce new exhibits that could have and should have been presented earlier.6 New York does not argue, nor could they, that the Technical Documents contain information that was unavailable as of the deadline for pre-filed rebuttal testimony. New Yorks claim that their witness only recently discovered7 these documents, presumably due to belated hearing preparations, is insufficient to establish good cause for springing complex technical documents on the other parties at the last possible moment. New Yorks attempt to analogize to 2

4 Notably, the new exhibits proffered in the Motion are entirely unrelated to those proffered by Entergy on November 11, 2015, and to the topics addressed in Entergys October 29 supplemental testimony. See Entergys Unopposed Motion for Leave to File New and Revised Hearing Exhibits (Nov. 11, 2015);

Supplemental Testimony of Entergy Witnesses Nelson F. Azevedo, Timothy J. Griesbach, and Randy G. Lott Regarding Contentions NYS-25 (Reactor Vessel Internals AMP), NYS-26B/RK-TC-1B (Metal Fatigue), and NYS-38/RK-TC-5 (Safety Commitments) (ENT000722).

5 Cf. id. (seekingwithout oppositionto provide the most recent revisions of certain Westinghouse calculations and reports, and related conforming changes to testimony, which were necessary to update the record in this proceeding with complete and accurate information and were issued by Westinghouse mere days before the motion was filed). These changes were limited to updating exhibit numbers and to a small number of conforming changes essential to ensure Entergys testimony was accurate, primarily in light of the updated documents.

7 Motion at 1.

other motions to file additional exhibits is simply inaptunlike the instant Motion, the motions cited by New York8 proffered exhibits necessary to update or correct information already in the record. New York does not make any similar claim here. Accordingly, the Technical Documents are untimely and New York has not shown good cause for their late submission.

As to the Supplemental Figures, New York also does not claim that they are based on information that was unavailable as of the deadline for pre-filed rebuttal testimony.9 New York notes that its experts, apparently, only recently conducted an in-depth review of the testimony, pleadings and exhibits, and decided to create the Supplemental Figures, which New York speculates would allow their witnesses to provide full and meaningful responses to the Boards questions.10 During consultations, the NRC Staff suggested that such documents could be submitted as hearing demonstratives (not exhibits to be admitted as part of the official record),

but New York rejected the Staffs proposal noting only that it preferred the documents become part of the record of the proceeding.

Ultimately, New Yorks purported good cause is inconsistent with the Boards direction that new charts and graphs would only be introduced at this late stage if: (a) the Board asks a specific question at the hearing, and (b) the Board deems the existing written testimony, or the oral presentation at the hearing, insufficient to answer the Boards question.11 Entergy and NRC Staff have complied with the Boards direction, with the understanding that it fairly applied to all parties. New York, however, apparently believes otherwise. In the end, New York has not 8

Motion at 8-9.

9 In fact, during consultation on the Motion, New York could not explain what these figures were based on other than Dr. Laheys experiencelet alone describe why this information was previously unavailable.

10 Motion at 2. Although, during consultation, counsel for New York was unable to explain what testimony the Supplemental Figures supported and what specific purposes the figures will serve, noting that he would not play twenty questions about the new documents.

11 See Tr. at 4732.

shown good cause for its untimely submission of the Supplemental Figures, which are not based on new information, and are not necessary to update or correct the record in this proceeding.

New Yorks request is in essence a premature and unauthorized attempt to place demonstratives, which have not been requested by the Board, into the record as exhibits.

New Yorks interpretation of good causewhich would apparently allow its experts to draft new figures and discover new exhibits at their leisurewould render the testimony submission deadlines in the Boards scheduling orders meaningless. This cannot be a proper interpretation of the orders, or of the good cause standard, and New York should not be granted any special privileges in this regard. New York cites the Diablo Canyon proceeding for the premise that essential evidence should be included in the record.12 Yet, New York does not claim that any of the five proposed exhibits are essentialto the contrary, New York concedes that none of the documents raises any issue that has not already been addressed.13 Thus, the documents cannot reasonably be considered essential.

Finally, one of the five documents proffered by New York was introduced to the other parties for the first time mere hours before filing the Motion. Specifically, as shown in , New York consulted with the parties regarding proposed exhibit NYS000579 for the first time at 10:21 AM on Friday, November 13, 2015. Practically speaking, the parties representatives and witnesses are en route to Tarrytown, and are unable to meaningfully review or comment on the proffered document. Accordingly, New Yorks attempt to repackage Dr.

Duquettes testimony with this new supplement particularly prejudices the other parties. Indeed, 12 Motion at 6-7 (citing Pac. Gas & Elec. Co. (Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 & 2), ALAB-580, 11 NRC 227, 230 (1980)).

13 Motion at 5, 7.

the introduction of all of New Yorks new materials at this late hour is prejudicial to Entergy because its witnesses have had a very limited opportunity to review the documents.

For the foregoing reasons, the Board should deny New Yorks Motion.

Respectfully submitted, Executed in Accord with 10 C.F.R. § 2.304(d)
