BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD 7' In the Matter of HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER COMPANY S
Docket No. 50-466 5
(Allens Creek Nuclear Generating S
Station, Unit 1)
S JOINT RESPONSE OF APPLICANT AND NRC STAFF TO ASLB ORDER OF NOVEMBER 21, 1980 Houston Lighting & Power Company (Applicant) and
}"
the NRC Staff (Staff) file this joint response to the Li-censing Board's Order of November 21, 1980, which required submission of a list of environmental contentions and Board questions and the sequence in which these issues will be heard.
The dates listed below for trial of the environ-mental issues have been agreed upon by the Applicant and the Staff and are intended only as a tentative schedule for planning purposes.
Two aspects of the proposed schedule should be kept in mind.
First, the proposed dates are tentative since certain issues may be heard more quickly than the time allotted in the schedule.
As the Board stated in its Order of October 21, 1980, once a particular issue has been heard, the next issue will be taken up thereafter h
e Os 8 0 n 290 1 0 6-
without a pause in the hearing schedule.
In addition, the four days set aside by the Board to hear limited appearance statements (January 12-15) may not take the entire four days in which case the evidentiary hearings would commence earlier than January 16, 1981.
(See Board's Order of November 25, 1980, p.
2, n.
1.).
Secondly, since intervenors have not identified any expert witnesses to date, they have been allocated only one day to present direct testimony on each group of con-tentions.
If intervenors intend to file testimony of expert witnesses, the proposed schedule can be adjusted accord ingly.
The following represent Applicant's and Staff's best estimate for a hearing schedule on the environmental issues:
I.
Cooling Lake.
TexPirg Contentions Nos. 2 and 4 (cooling lake recreational benefits) -1/; Bishop Contentions Nos. 12 and 21 (radioactivity in the cooling lake and seepage from the lake).
