The SER concerning the so-called " wall problem" was filed by the Staff on February 22, 1980.

Certain additional data or testing have been requested from the Licensee by the Staff, the results of which could raise additional questions or issues (Tr. 3538-48).

The question of interim operation of the Trojan facility during the period of time required to complete the proposed modifications to the control building, will also constitute an issue to be addressed by the parties in the evidentiary hearing (Tr. 3549-60).

By agreement among the parties and with the concurrence of the Board, the following schedule modifications shall be observed:

Licensee to prefile al1 of its written.

March 17 testimony.

a

, the other parties (except State of March 17 Oregon) to file their nonstructural written testimony.

March 24 the other parties to file their structural written tesnimony.

(Tr. 3569-73)

The parties identified the witnesses whom they expected to present at the evidentiary hearing to comm(nce on March 31, 1980 (Tr. 3574-3582).

The Staff agreed to have its security expert update his study and evaluation of the security aspects of the modification work, including some recent matters which the Consolidated Intervenors stated were of concern to them (Tr. 3588-9).

The Consolidated Intervenors withdrew Contention 4, and hence the Staf f's interrogatories concerning that contention need not be answered (Tr. 3615).

The time for response by Consolidated Intervenors to the remaining Staff interrogatories was extended to and including March 21, 1980.

With reference to the " wall problem", the Board decided that it would like'to have the results from the short-term tests and the conclusions flowing from them given to the Board, and included in the evidence at the evidentiary hearing (Tr. 3633).

In addition, there should be provided a description of what is proposed for the long-term tests, why it is proposed, and what is expected to come out of it (Tr. 3633-38.
