LICENSEE'S RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORIES DATED JANUARY 29, 1979 FROM NINA BELL OF THE CONSOLIDATED INTERVENORS The following are Licensee's Responses dated February 20, 1979 to Inter-rogatories dated January 29, 1978 from Nina Bell of the Consolidated Intervenors. Licensee objects to Interrogatories 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 on the grounds specifically set forth below.

Persons responding to each interrogatory sre indicated by their initials as follows:

R. W. Johnson (RWJ)

D. J. Broehl (DJB)

B. T. Landrey (BTL)

L. W. Erickson (LWE)

D. L. Damon (DLD)

Interrogatory 1

" Provide cost estimates for all pending construction and contracts with Bechtel Power Corporation for both full and partial ownership."

Response to Interrogatory 1 The Licensee objects to Interrogatory 1.

The Response to Interrogatory 2 (below) provides cos t estimates concerning the preposed control Building modification program described in PGE-1020.

To the extent that Interroga-tory 1 seeks cost ectimates for FGE/Bechtel " construction and contracts" other than the proposed Control Building modification program, however, such request is beyond the scope of the evidentiary hearing as set forth in the Commission's Order for Modi.fication of License of May 26, 1978 and in the Licensing Board's Notice of Evidentiary Hearing of August 1, 1978.

Thus the information requested by Interrogatory 1 is not relevant to the subject matter of this proceeding, nor is it reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence as required by 10 CFR 32.740 (b)(1).

(RWJ)

Interrogatory 2

" Provide detailed cost analysis for Control Building modifications."

Response to Interrogatory 2 No " detailed cost analysis" has been performed for the Control Building modifications.

Present estimates of overall costs for field work, investigations, analyses, engineering, testing and licensing (from the time the design deficiency was identified in April 1978 until completion of field work for the proposed modifications), including such costs to support interim operation, are as follows:

Cost of field work (performed by Bechtel) $2-3 million; Engineering, testing and licensing support (performed by Bechtel) $5 million; and Technical engineering, licensing and construction support (performed by PGE) $2.5 million.

(DLD, DJB)

Interrogatory 3

" Provide all press releases and statements made by PGE regarding the Control Building proceedings and the modifications to be done."

Response to Interrogatory 3 Licensee notes that Interrogatory 3 is a request for production of documents, which should properly be made under 52.741. Nevertheless, press releases and statements prepared by PGE regarding the Control Building proceeding and modifications to be done are provided to Ms. Bell as Attachment 1.

Material in Attachment 1 is available to all parties as Document File 27 in the Trojan Control Building Document Room at PCE's headquarters in Portland.

This attachment does not include transcripts of press conferences or interviews as these are not normally prepared by PGE.

(LWE, BTL)

Interrogatory 4

" Provide documentation for environmental qualification of saf ety related equipment."

Response to Interrogatory 4 The Licensee objects to Interrogatory 4.

The scope of this proceeding is limited to the seismic capability of the Control Building Complex, the seismic qualification of equipment therein, and the adequacy of proposed modifications to the Control Building. Accordingly the response to Interrogatory 8 (below) provides information concerning seismic qualification of equipment in the modified Control Building Complex.

Interrogatory 4, on the other hand, is not only unduly broad (since it appears to extend to equipment outside of the Control Building Complex) but in requesting information pertaining to environmental qualification is beyond the scope of the evidentiary hearing as set forth in the Commission's May 26, 1978 Order for Modification of License and in the Response to Interrogatory 4 (concl.)

Licensing Board's Notice of Evidentiary Hearing of August 1, 1978.

Thus the information requested by Interrogatory 4 is not relevant to the subject matter of this proceeding, nor is it reasonably calcu-lated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence as required by 10 CFR 52.740(b)(1).

(RWJ)

Interrogatory 5

" Provide contract between PGE and Burlington Northern Railroad."

Response to Interrogatory 5 The Licensee objects to Interrogatory 5.

Interrogatory 5 requests a document be made available, thus it should be the subject of a raquest for production of documents under 52.741.

Even if the request were properly made, however, Licensee would object on the grounds of undue breadth and relevance.

The railroad track within the Control Buil' ding which will be rerouted under the modification program described in PGE-1020 is owned by the Licensee and is not the subject of any contract with the Burlington Northern Railroad. Contracts or arrangement.s between Licensee and Burlington Northern Railroad concerning the railroad line which passes through a portion of the site of the Trojan plant do not relate to the modification program, and are beyond the scope of the evidentiary hearing as set forth in the Commission's May 26, 1978 Order for Modification of License and in the Licensing Board's Notice of Evidentiary Hearing of August 1, 1978. Thus the information requested by Interrogatory 5 is not relevant to the subject matter of this proceeding, nor is it reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence as required by 10 CFR 52.740(b)(1).

(RWJ)

Interrogatory 6

" Portland General Electric's analysis of the implications of Single Failure Criterion as it applies to Fire Protection.

Single Failure is defined in 10 CFR Part 50, App. A."

Response to Interrogatory 6 Licensee objects to Interrogatory 6.

The scope of this proceeding is limited to the seismic capability of the Control Building Complex, the seismic qualification of the equipment therein, and the adequacy of proposed modifications to the Control Building.

Since Interrogatory 6 does not relate to any seismic aspect of the Complex or its equipment, but is addressed to the general subject of Fire Protection, it is beyond the scope of the evidentiary hearing as set forth in the Commission's May 26, 1978 Order for Modification of License and in the Licensing Board's Notice of Evidentiary Hearing of August 1, 1978.

Thus, the information requested 'oy Interrogatory 6 is not relevant to the subject matter of this proceeding, nor is it reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence as requested by 10 CFR 82.740(b)(1).

(RWJ)

Interrogatory 7

" Provide the PGE Nuclear Plant Qulaity [ sic] Assurance Program for Operation, Rev.

4."

Response to Interrogatory 7 PGE's Nuclear Projects Quality Assurance Program for Operations (NPQAP/0),

Revision 4, was provided with Amendment 33 to the Trojan Final Saf ety Analysis Report (FSAR) which is available in the Trojan Control Building Document Room at PGE's headquarters in Portland.

An additional copy of the NPQAP/0 has been placed in the Document Room as Document File 26.

As requested by this Interrogatory a copy of the NPQAP/0, Revision 4, is provided as Attachment 2 only for Ms. Bell. As indicated above, two copies of this document are available to all parties in PGE's Control Building Document Room.

(LWE)

Interrogatory 8

" Explain how and when reviews will be made to confirm the selmic quiai-fication [ sic] of safety related equipment following the modifications to the Control Building."

Response to Interrogatory 8 Appendix B of the " Report on Design Modification for the Trojan Control Building" (PGE-1020) served on all parties on January 17, 1979, addresses the methodology as to how the seismic capability of safety-related equipment will be confirmed for the spectra resulting from the modifi-cations to the Control Building. These analyses are presently in progress and will be completed prior to structural modification of the Control Building.

(DLD)

Interrogatory 9

" Provide detailed budget for manpower costs of Control Building proceeding."

Response to Interrogatory 9 Licensee objects to Interrogatory 9.

The Interrogatory appears to request information concerning Licensee's budget for the conduct of the proceeding. Such information is not relevant to the subject matter of this proceeding, nor is it reasonably calculated to lead to admissible e '.uence as required by 10 CFR 2.740(b)(1).

(RWJ) 8 Interrogatory 10

" Provide information that demonstrates that the flow deliveries and actuation times of ECCS compnents [ sic] meet or exceed values assumed in the ECCS analyses."

Response to Interrogatory 10 Liceraee objects to Interrogatory 10.

The scope of this proceeding is limited to the seismic capability of the Control Building Complex, seismic qualification of the equipment therein, and adequacy of proposed modification to the Control Building.

Since Interrogatory 10 does not relate to any seismic aspect of the Complex or its equipment, but is addressed to the general subject of the functioning of ECCS componencs, it is beyond the scope of the evidentiary hearing as set forth in.'ie Commission's May 26, 1978 Order for Modification of License and in the Licensing Board's Notice of Evidentiary Hearing of August 1, 1978.

Thus the information requested by Interrogatory 10 is not relevant to the sub-iect matter of this proceeding, nor is it reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence as required by 10 CFR 5 2.740(b)(1).

(RWJ)
