MOTION FOR A RULING ON THE ADMISSIBILITY OF CONTENTIONS OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF ROCKFORD Commonwealth Edison Company (" Edison" or " Appli-cant"), pursuant to 10 CFR 52.730, moves the Board to enter an order ruling on the admissibility of the contentions of the League of Women Voters of Rockford (the " League") filed on July 28, 1979; or, alternatively, to grant the parties 15 days to brief the admissibility of said contentions. In support of this Motion, Applicant states as follows:

1. The Notice of Opportunity for Hearing in this proceeding was published in the Federal Register on Decem-ber 15, 1978 (43 F.R. 58659). Thereafter, on January 13, 1979, the League filed a Petition For Leave To Intervene which was amended by letter dated February 3, 1979. By Order dated March 23, 1979, the Board ruled that the League had standing to intervene in this proceeding and reminded the League that, pursuant to 10 CFR S2.714 (b) , they must file a supplement to their petition to intervene which should include a list of contentions the League seeks to have litigated in this matter.

8002eioyQ

2. On July 28, 1979, the League filed a list of contentions. Applicant answered the League in a pleading dated August 20, 1979, which the Board granted leave to file instanter at the prehearing conference held in Rockford, Illinois on August 21, 1979. As is set forth in the " Answer of Commonwealth Edison Company to the Contentions of the League of Women Voters of Rockford, Illinois," dated August 20, 1979, both the NRC Staff and Applicant had attempted on several occasions to negotiate with the League on a set of stipulated contentions. Following an extended discussion on the record during the prehearing conference, the Board provided all the parties an additional opportunity to nego-tiate in an effort to refine contentions and requested that the results of said negotiations be communicated to the Board by October 16, 1979 (Tr. p. 114).

3. On September 26, 1979, representatives of the League, the NRC Staff and the Applicant met in Chicago, Illinois, in the offices of Myron Cherry, Esq., who was at the time aiding the League in negotiations to refine con-tentions. Extended discussions were held with respect to each of the League's contentions during which tne Applicant and NRC Staff presented orally and in detail their position on each contention and possible areas of compromise. At the request of the Leao'n, Applicant, by letter dated October 8, 1979 (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A), ar.3 the NRC Staff, by letter dated October 22, 1979 (a copy of which is

. +

.' attached as Exhibit B), provided in writing a detailed statement of position with respect to each League conten-tion.

4. As indicated in letters to the Board dated October 12, 1979, November 27, 1979, and January 22, 1979 (attached hereto as Exhibits C, D and E), there has been no progress whatsoever in negotiations between the parties with respect to the League's contentions since the September 26, 1979 meeting and follow-up letters dated October 8, 1979 and October 22, 1979. Although the League, through Mr. Cherry, has promised on several occasions to present in writing, by stated deadlines, amended contentions on behalf of the League, each deadline passed without action by the League.

In contrast, negotiations with DAARE and SAFE, the other parties intervening in this proceeding, have progreased to the point that a complete stipulation on contentions appears imminent.

5. In view of the foregoing, Applicant believes that further attempts to negotiate with the League are un-warranted and that the Board should rule on the admissi-bility of the League's contentions.

Wherefore, Applicant respectfully moves the Board to decide.the admissibility of the contentions previously filed by the League based on the pleadings filed to date with respect to those contentions. (We note that the Answer of Applicant omitted to state Applicant's opposition to League Contention 13 in the Conclusion, although in the body of the Motion we clearly opposed the Contention.) Alterna-tively, Applicant requests that the Board set a briefing schedule to allow each of the parties 15 days to more fully set forth arguments supporting their positions on the League's contentions.

Respectfully submitted, DATED: February 13, 1980

• • • • • October 22, 1979 Mrs. Philhp B. Johnson 1907 Stratford Lane Rockford , Illinois 61107 4

In the Matter of Commonwealth Edison Company (Byron Station, Units 1 and 2)

Docket Nos. 50-454 and 50-455

Dear Mrs. Johnson:

As the Staff indicated during our meeting with yea and Mr. Myron Cherry in Chicago on September 26, 1979, this letter presents the NRC 5taff's position on the conten-tions of the Leacue of Women Voters of Rockford, as amended, with due regard to Applicant's counsel'a letter to you dated October 6,1979. Since no Notice of Appear-ance has been filed by Mr. Cherry, we are sending him a copy of this letter to you

- and will send him copies of any pleadings or documents filed by the Staff relative to our attempt to negotiate contentions for the Byron proceeding.

Our position with respect to your contentions is as follows:

Contention 1.

As we have previously indicated, it is the Staff's position that this proposed conten-tion, in its present form, is inadmissible, as it provides a list of generic reactor issues without providing the required nexus in each case. The discussion cf " nexus ,"

in the River Bend decision at 6 NRC 773 should be of help to you.

To the extent that a satisfactory nexus is demonstrated with regard to any of these generic items as it relates to the Byrcn facility, such issues may be considered ap-propriate for litigation in this proceeding. All applicable outstanding generic issues will be discussed in the Staff's Safety Evaluation Report which will be issued later.

Contention ' 2.

The Staff is in agreement with Isham, Lincoln t. Beale in its response to your Con-tention 2, and would support the revised contention mentioned in their letter.

, qui 30023

- - _ , 7 .. .-..m .,,

n e

,a-hirs. Phillip.B. Johnson October 22, 1979

j. Contention 3.

The Staff opposes Contention 3 as drafted on several bases. We do not agree to liti-gate Class 9 accidents at this time. The contention lacks the required specificity.

Portions of the contention, to the degree that their meaning is understandab:e would appear to constitute a direct challenge to the Commission's regulations. We wil:

await your redrafted contention or contentions concerning certain of the items con-tained in the present proposed Contention 3 which you wish to litigate.

Contention 4.

The Staff response is the same as that expressed by Mr. Murphy in his letter to you.

We would not oppose a contention drafted in the form of Applicant's proposed Con-i tention 4.

Contention 5.

The Staff agress that the sub,iect matter of Contentien 5 is proper for litigation :n this proceed ng, and we would not oppose a contention drafted in the form of Appli-cant's proposed Contention 5.

Amended Contention f .

The Staff must oppose admission of this conte ion as submitted. 2 r.cre is no specifi-city with respect to those matters which were not covered during the Ccnsti uct:on

. Permit proceeding for this station.

Contention 7.

The Staff wculd not oppose a contention drafted in the form of Applicant's proposed Contention 7. (Applicant's reference to subpart 4 cf your contention should be to subpart 3.)

Amended Contention S.

.Our position is basically in accordance with Applicant's on this contention, and w c would not oppose a contention drafted in the nature of Applicant's proposcd Conten-tion 8, 8a and Eb.

Contention 9.

Absent any showing of a factual basis to assume midterm chemical decontamination

- of the Byron facility will be required, the Staff does not feel this is a litigable issue.

Mrs. Phillip B. Johnson - October 22, 1979 1

J .-

I Contention 10.

+

A he Staff position is that where there is an impact from transmission lines which

. ~ have either become known or have been developed since the Construction Permit proceeding, these impacts would be relevant in this proceeding. We, too, are awaiting j

Applicant's advice as to whether they plan to install 765 KV lines to tie the Byrca

- Station. Units I and 2, into their transmission system. ,

- Contention 11.

The Staff does not oppose a contention on this issue and would support a contention drafted in the form of Applicant's proposed Contention 11.

t Contentio n .12.

As stated Contention 12 is not admissible. You must show where these effects in your contention were not considered in the Construction Permit proceeding.

Contention 13.

The Staff pcs: tion is the same as that expressed by Mr. Khrphy in his letter to you.

We would oppose subparts 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the contention as presently drafted.

Durinc our meeting. it was suggested that subpart 4 of this contentien be p esentcd ,

as a separate contention, and it is our understanding that you are censidering re- l

} ciraitin; of this subpart.

• It is hoped that the Staff comments herein and the letter from Mr. Murphy to you ,

as well as the discussiens which took place in Chicago on September 2e , will assist you and Mr. Cherry in the formulation of revised contentions .

L*pon resubmission of such revised contentions, the Staff will respond to these in L a tormal manner.

i

. Sincerely ,

Gentlemen:

In accordance with the Licensing Ecard's request for a progress report on continuing negotiations bet'.:cen thc Applicant, interrenors and the NRC Staff regarding cen-te ntic":: in the Byron Station operating licensing prececaing, the following is an update since the last report hy letter dated I:cvember 27, 1979, from Myron Karman, counsel fcr the NRC Staff, to the Licensing Board.

1. On January 22, 1980, rcprecentativcs cf the Jipplicant, NRC Staff counsel and Dr. Ju'ianne ::ahler, spokes- .

pcrson for DAIJI and SAFE, held a telephone conforcnca c:ll regarding the DAAPI and SisFE contention,. Dr. Mahlcr indi-catcd that the " Statement of Contentions" dated Eccc:-1 cr ':,

1979, filed in this proceeding and served en all parties, ucre not intended to represent the final contInticns f DAAn" and SAFE. Counsel for the Applicant and counsci fer the ::R; Staf f had been previously advised that said "S:.te-ment of Cententions" reflected draft contenticns for neto-tiation. Both the NRC Staff and the Applicant have forwardef to Dr. F.ahler written comments and statements of positions wit r?F ';t to th24s d r _ ' ' r m. '. ::. n m . Dr. M".lcr indi-cated that, based on the comments of the Applicant and I;RC O Staff, together with additional information requested cf th I

Applicant,. DAARE and SAFE would be prepared to determine its final position on all contentions by February 8, 1960. This time framo is acceptable to both the Applicant and the NRC Staff. Although the parties have not fully discussed all ministorial details, it is anticipated that very shortly after Tcbruary 8, 1980, the parties will present their posi-tions on the final contentions of DAARE and SATE, possibly in the form of a stipulation between all parties, and submit briefs in support of their positions within a reasonable time thercafter.

2. With respect to the intervention by the League of Woman Voters of Rockford, the status of negotia-tions remains as stated in Mr. Karman's letter of :sovember 7, 1979; that is, the parties are awaiting receipt from the League of Mcmen Voters of draft revised contentions to examine for the purpose of determining the possible arent cf agreement. This status is also identical to the status as reported in the October 12, 1979 letter from Myron Karman to the Licensing Doard. I was informed today by Mrs. Betty Johnson that Myron Cherry has been retained to act as counsel fer the League of Women Voters in this proceeding and would be filing shortly a notice of appearance and revisef state-ment of cententions. I was unable to reach Mr. Cherry to learn when this filing would take place.
