MEMORANDUM AND ORDER CLI-80 16 On January 4,1980, the Licensing Board certified two questions to the Commission in this proceeding:
1.
Whether the previsions of 10 CFR 50.44 should be waived or exceptions made thereto in this proceeding where a prima facie showing has been made under 10 CFR 2.758 that hydrogen gas generation during the TMI-2 accident was well in excess of the amount required under 10 CFR 50.44 as a design basis for the post-accident combustion gas control system for TMI-1.
2.
Whether post-accident hydrogen gas control should be an issue in this proceeding where post-accident hydrogen gas control was perceived to be a serious problem and was in fact a problem during the TMI-2 accident.
Although the Commission in its August 9 Order and Notice of Hearing did'not specifically list hydrogen by the Board, the Commission did n DUPLICATE DOCUMENT consideration by the Board. The T Entire document Previously entered into system under:
