Docket Nos.

50-25 0-26 LICENSEE'S OBJECTIONS TO INTERROGATORIES OF WILLIAME.

GARNER On April 30, 1976, William E. Garner served upon the Licensee a

set of interrogatories consisting of 297 questions.

A cursory reading of those interrogatories reveals a complete disregard for the Commission's Rules of Practice in regard to discovery.

Many questions are totally unre-lated to any of the contentions in this proceeding and are contrary to the Rules of Practice limiting discovery to matters which are relevant to the subject matter involved in the"proceeding or which reasonably appear'. calcu-lated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence, 10 C.F.R. 5

. 2.740(b)(1)

(1975)

~

Numerous interrogatories simply state that a copy of a document should be attached to the answer.

That'ractice is contrary to the Rules

\\

of Practice which provide the proper procedure for requesting the produc-tion and inspection of documents.

10 C.F.R. 5 2.741(a)

(1975).

Intervenor has no right to demand and shift upon the Licensee the cost of reproduction of documents.

Barrows v. Koninkli ke Luchtvaart Maatscha i, ll F.R.D.

400

P

(S.D.N.Y. 1951).

While TVA desires to cooperate in giving the Intervenor copies of relevant documents, wholesale demands for irrelevant materials serve only to frustrate the orderly progression of the proceeding.

Infor-mality in the proceeding should not extend to waiving the Rules of Practice.

Numerous interrogatories, without any showing of relevance, request the name, education, experience, and position of TVA employees.

TVA generally objects to those interrogatories on the grounds that disclosure of such infor-mation is prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.

5 552a (1970; Supp.

H IV% 1974).

While it is the Licensee's desire and need to expedite these pro-

ceedings, the setting aside of the Rules of Practice would not serve that purpose but would instead result in added delay and a chaotic record.

Without waiving its right to object to any further interrogatories, Licensee makes the following specific objections to interrogatories propounded by William E. Garner.

Interro ator 1

TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it. is overly broad and irrelevant to any issues in this proceeding.

The interrogatory is not limited to any specific type of TVA facilities nor to any specific time period.

Thus, TVA would need to search records extending back to 1933 to fully answer this interrogatory.

This would obviously place an unreasonably great burden on TVA.

Moreover, this interrogatory appears to relate to para-graph 11 of Intervenor's Petition for Leave to Intervene and Demand for Hear-

~in (November 6, 1975), which is not a contention in this proceeding.

Interro ator 2

TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds as stated in ob-jection to Interrogatory 1.'oreover, this interrogatory is objectionable Zn that it calls for a legal opinion.

Cf. ~Jose h v. Norman's Health Club Inc.,

336 F. Supp.

307, 319 (E.D. Mo. 1971).

Federal Practice 1l 26.56[3].

Interro ator 4

TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds as stated in ob-

)ection to Interrogatory l.

Interro ator 5

TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds it requests a

legal opinion (cf. ~Jose h v. Noraan's Health Club inc.,

336 P.

Supp.

307, 319 (E.D. Mo. 1971);

4 O'. Moore, Federal Practice 1f 26.5613]).

Interro ator 6

TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds as stated in ob-jection to Interrogatory 5.

Moreover, as an agency of the Federal govern-
ment, TVA is entitled to the presumption that its actions are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

United States v. Chemical Foundation, 272 U.S. 1, 14-15 (1926); Arkansas-Best Frei ht S stem Inc. v. United States, 350 F. Supp.

539 (W.D. Ark. 1972).

See also Arkansas Power and Li ht Co.

(Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 2) ALAB-94, 6 AEC 25, 28 (Jan.

8, 1973).

Interro ator 8

Air leaks in the cable spreading room were originally filled with polyurethane

foam, a known flammable material.

TVA objects to that part of this interrogatory requesting personal

.information about TVA employees on the grounds that it is irrelevant, overly I
broad, and unduly burdensome.

TVA has over 25,000 employees, and to respond to this interrogatory would require TVA management to interview each of those employees.

Furthermore, the information requested is a record within the mean-ing of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.

5 552a (1970; Supp. IV, 1974). That Act defines record to include an individual's "employment history" and prohibits release of that information without the individual's express prior consent, except in certain specified cases.

Unauthorized disclosure of that informa-tion subjects the disclosing Federal employee to a

$5,000 fine and subjects TVA to damage suits by the individual concerned with a minimum $1,000 recovery.

Interro ator 16 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is irre-levant to any of the contentions admitted in this proceeding and, further-more, would not appear to be reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

Moreover, TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that the information requested would require the disclosure of information pro-hibited by the Privacy Act of 1974.

See objection to Interrogatory 8.

Finally, several of the individuals named are not TVA employees; and, accordingly, the requested information is not within TVA's knowledge.

lnterro ator 17 TVA is unable to answer this interrogatory without some specific-ity and particularization of the times,.places, and subject matter of "the discussions" with James A. Elsner.

Furthermore, TVA objects to that; part of the interrogatory requesting the education and experience of individuals in that the disclosure of such information would violate provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974.

See objection to Interrogatory 8.

Interro,ator 18 t

TVA objects to this interrogatory since it's overly broad, irre-

levant, and constitutes a request for the production of documents.

Such a request must be made in accordance with Section 2.741 of the Rules of Prac-tice.

Furthermore, the Licensee is not required to bear the expense of mak-ing copies of documents, Barrows v. Koninkli ke Luchtvaart Maatscha i,

11 F.R.D. 400 (S.D.N.Y. 1951), but is only required to make copies of requested materials available for inspection and copying, 10 C.F.R. 5 2.741(a)(l) (1975).

Interro ator 19 TVA objects to 'this interrogatory on the grounds that it is irre-

~ I levant and constitutes a request for the production of documents.

See objec-tion to Interrogatory 18.

Interro ator'.

20 (For identification, the six parts of this interrogatory are set forth below.)

[1] State in detail any increased NRC scrutiny that you have ob-served of the Bellefonte, Watts Bar, Sequoyah, Hartsville, Phipps

Bend, Clinch River, and Yellow Creek Reactor Projects.

[2] State in detail any observation you have made of the March 22 fire being '"a major consideration" in NRC review of designs for the Bellefonte, Watts Bar, Sequoyah, Hartsville, 1

Phipps Bend, Clinch River, and Yellow Creek Reactor Projects.

[3J List in detail "construction anomalies" that did not meet design specifications that the NRC investigators found after the March 22, 1975, fire.

[4] List in de-tail "construction anomalies" that did not meet design specifications that the NRC investigators did not find after'the March 22, 1975, fire.

[5J List the name, education, experience and position, past and present, of each per-son responsible for the plant not being built according to the design that was approved by the Atomic Energy Commission.

Have any of these people been disciplined? If so, give details.

If not, why not?

[6] Explain in detail, why you did not build the plant according to the design that was approved by the AEC.

Objection:

TVA objects to parts 1 and 2 of this interrogatory on the grounds that a statement of "any increased NRC scrutiny" of the Belle-fonte, Watts Bar, Sequoyah, Hartsville, Phipps Bend, Clinch River, and

Yellow Creek Nuclear Plants and observations that the March 22 fire have been "a major consideration" in the NRC review of designs for those plants are vague, overly broad, and irrelevant to this proceeding.

Moreover, these parts of the interrogatory request information that is neither factual nor within TVA's knowledge and, accordingly, are not proper matters for discovery.

TVA objects to parts 5 and 6 of this interrogatory on the grounds that they are vague and unduly broad.

TVA cannot respond to these questions in the absence of any specificity concerning "the design" and in the absence of any particularization of specific portions of "the design" approved by the Atomic Energy Commission.

Interro ator 21 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague,

overly broad, and irrelevant to any issues in this proceeding.

Interro ator 25 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is irre-levant to any of the matters at issue in this proceeding.

Furthermore, the named individual is not a TVA employee; and, accordingly, the information requested is not within TVA's knowledge.

Interro ator 26 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, overly broad, and constitutes a request for the production of documents.

See objection to Interrogatory 18.

Interro ator 33 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is an allegation or contention and requires that unproven facts be assumed as true.

Interro ator 44 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds set forth in objection to Interrogatory 42.

Interro ator 45 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is irre-levant to any issues in this proceeding and is not reasonably-calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

Furthermore, u'nder the Rules of Practice this interrogatory improperly constitutes a request for the pro-duction of documents.

See objection to Interrogatory 18.

Interro ator 46 This interrogatory is objectionable on the grounds that it requests personal data, the disclosure of which is prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974.

Additionally, under the Rules of Practice this interrogatory improperly

constitutes a request for the production of documents.

However, no corre-spondence has been sent by TVA concerning the Browns Ferry fire to Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr.

Interro ator 54 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds set forth in objection to Interrogatory 42.

Interro ator 55 TVA objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it assumes facts not shown to be true and is more in the nature of an allegation than an interrogatory.

Objection:

TVA objects to the following parts of this interroga-tory on the grounds that they are irrelevant to any issues in this proceed-ing and are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence:

2 through 5, 7, 9, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, and 30.

Interro ator 293 TVA 'objects to this interrogatory on the grounds of undue burden and irrelevancy.

The "Remarks" column of Part XIV, Section A, Recovery Plan consists of several hundred pages and lists hundreds of individual work items.

It is obvious.that the collection and reporting of the cur-rent status of such a voluminous amount of information would require an extensive effort.

Furthermore, the great majority of those work items listed are totally foreign to the fire-related modifications at the plant

and, thus, irrelevant to the proceeding.

The information contained in the "Remarks" column is essentially a tool for the use of TVA management to keep track of ongoing work at the Browns Ferry Plant.

Therefore, TVA does plan to issue an updated revision of this section in several months after fuel loading activities have been completed.

That update will then be made available to the Intervenor.

Respectfully submitted,
