NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL REQUEST FOR SUBPOENA TO ISSUE TO DR. WORTH BATEMAN, DEPUTY UNDERSECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY During the course of this proceeding, it has been increasingly evident that the plans and attitudes of the doe with respect to interim storage of spent fuel are relevant to the issues in this proceeding.
Much testi=cny has been received 4
on this general subject and much controversy has ensued over the reliability of the testimony of witnesses regarding conver-sations with doe.cfficials.
Dr. Bateman has been identified as the principal doe official involved in the development of the OcE position en the need for and cost of interim spent fuel
.s:Orage facilities.
We believe his attendance as a witness a:
the hearings will be extemely valuable.
If Dr. Bateman appears as a witness in tnese proceedings, we would expect to examine him en the follcwing issues:
a)
What is the presen DcE pclicy on the need for an AFR, including tining and size?
b)
What criteria wculd be applied in deciding who would be eligible to use the AFR?
1085 2,62 7910030!

2 c)
Ecw do the present efforts of utilities to deal with interim spent fuel storage affect the doe perception of the need for such a facility?
d)
How much would a government AFR cost and how much would a utility be charged to use it?
e)
What is doe's judgment on the relative advantages of interim storage of spent fuel at the reactor site and interim storage of spent fuel away from the reactor site?
We believe all of these issues are directly related to contentions and lines of questioning already permitr d in this proceeding.
We therefore urge that the requested subpoena be issued.
Respectfully submitted, s
