LICENSEE'S MOTION TO POSTPONE PREHEARING CONFERENCE Now comes Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, the Licensee herein and moves the Board to postpone the first prehearing conference in this matter to October 1, 1980, or thereafter and' as reasons therefore says as follows:
1.
Contentions and responses thereto have been filed in the above-entitled matter.
It would now normally be in order to schedule'a special prehearing conference.
10 CFR 6 2.751a.
The holding of such a conference, followed by the issuance of the order, would open discovery in this matter.
10 CFR
'$ 2 740(b)(1).
2.
However, the Licensee is,'at this timg5 giving serious

onsite storage capacity possibly as long as plant life; in-addition, various supplements to the current proposal are being considered.
3.
In addition, the Maine Yankee technical staff is heavily engaged in the implementation of various NRC Staff suggestions and requests resulting from the analysis of the events which occurred one year ago at the Three Mile Island facility.
4.
Finally, it should be noted that the State of Maine, on September 23,'1980, is holding a referendum upon the con-tinued utilization of nuclear energy for power generation in Maine.
5.
Each and all of the matters described in Paragraphs 2-4'would appear to dictate that the better part of wisdom would be to postpone the delineation of issues and commencement of discovery at least until October 1, 1980.
