REPLY TO MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER Consumers Power Company
(" Consumers Power")
respectfully requests that this Board deny the Motion for a Protective Order prohibiting further deposition of Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff member Joseph Kane filed by
~
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff (" Staff") on December 4, 1980.
In addition, pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 52.740(c Rule 37 (a) (4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C.S.
2412, Consumers Power asks this Board to order the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to pay Consumers Pcwer i
the costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in l
I opposing the Motion for a Protective Order and in traveling l
l back to Bethesda to resume Mr. Kane's deposition, or in the l
alternative, to order that Mr. Kane present himself in Chicago for that purpose.
l This Memorandum is filed in opposition to the Staff's Motion and in support of Consumers Power's Motion.

THE STAFF'S MOTION IS INADEQUATE AS A MATTER OF LAW.
The Staff has not complied with the requirements necessary for a Protective Order.
10 C.F.R. 2.740(c) imposes upon the Movant the burden of proof in establishing good cause for issuing such an order.
Notwithstanding this requirement, the Staff's Motion is comprised solely of general conclusory objections that allege but do not demonstrate that good cause exists.
In Pennsylvania Power
& Light Company and Allegheny Electric Cooperative (Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2),
ALAB-613, 12 NRC 317 (1980) the Appeals Board stated:
And as in judicial practice, general objections do not provide that cause.
Challenges to inter-rogatories must be specific enough so that the [ tribunal] can understand in what way the interzogatories are claimed to be objectionable.
General objections, such as the objection that the interrogatories will require the party to conduct research and compile data, or that they are unreasonably burdensome, oppressive, or vexatious, or that they seek information that is as easily available to the inter-rogating as to the interrogated party, or that they would cause annoyance, expense and oppression to the objecting party without serving any purpose relevant to the action, or that they are duplicative of material already discovered through depositions, or that they call for opinions and conclusions, are insufficient.
ALAB-613, 12 NRC 317.
. It is revealing that although clearly required to do so, the Staff has failed to cite or demonstrate any instances where the questioning of Mr. Kane was argumenta-tive, abusive or oppressive as baldly claimed.
The Staff's only specifically stated basis for support of its Motion for a Protective Order is the statement that Mr. Kane was deposed for "over five days."
(Staff Motion, p. 2).
That statement, however, is both misleading /
and irrelevant.
- /
Mr. Kane was not deposed for "over five days," rather, he was examined for parts of six different days, for a total of 30 1/4 hours.
(See Appendix IA).
Included in this time were numerous time consuming failures of Mr. Kane to answer the questions posed as well as 17 recesses and 13 discussions by the attorneys off the record.
In addition, discussions by the attorneys on the record consumed 33 1/2 pages of transcript.
(See Appendix IB and IC).
Further-more, statements that Applicant's attorney indicated on December 2 that he only had about an hour of questions re-maining to complete Mr. Kane's deposition and repeated that remark on the afternoon of December 3 are simply not true.
On December 2, after Staff counsel stated his desire to adjourn the deposition for that day at 5:00 rather than the previously designated 6:00 and that request had been l
agreed to, counsel remarked, in jest, that "if we'd gone until 6:00, maybe I could have finished."
Imagination may allow one to believe that remark had been taken as a serious estimate of time remaining, but no such generosity may per-tain to the alleged December 3 statement.
On December 3, i
when the deposition terminated at 3:30 due to a theretofore unannounced and undisclosed prior appointment of Mr. Kane's, there was no mention or hint that Mr. Kane would not be produced for resumption of his deposition (in fact, it was adjourned to " resume at some future date to be agreed upon.")
(Kane Deposition, Vol. IV, p. 356), and no statement or remark was made with regard to time required to complete his deposition.
Literally "out of the blue" during the later deposition of Darl Hood, Applicant's counsel was advised that Mr. Kane would not be produced for completion of his deposition, as had been agreed to earlier in the day.
l l
l
l The amount of time that Mr. Kane was examined is by itself irrelevant to the question of whether
- /
a protective order is appropriate.-
The soil settlement which is the focus of this hearing occurred in August, 1978.
Consumers Power has submitted massive amounts of technical data to the NRC Staff since that time, including 9 volumes of responses to questions propounded by the Staff pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 550. 54 (f).
The complexity and number of questions involved in the Midland soils issues and Mr. Kane's key staff position with regard to them justifies the amount of time spent deposing Mr. Kane.
He is the Staff's chief geotechnical expert and has been its spokesman at numerous technical meetings attended by Consumers Power.
He is the only principal geotechnical engineer in the Hydrologic and Geotechnical Engineering Branch.
Perhaps most important, he is the technical contract moniter for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Staff's geotechnical consultant for Midland soils, and he has been designated by the Staff as a hearing witness.
By his own testimony, he is responsible for coordinating the entire geotechnical effort for the Midland soils issues.
(See
- /
The submission of a large number of discovery questions Is not an abuse of discovery when the questions reflect the number and complexity of the issues.
Pennsylvania Power
& Light Company and Allegheny Electric Cooperative, (Susquehana Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-
'613, 12 NRC 317 (1980).
< i e.g.,
Kane Deposition, Vol.
I, p. 145).
Moreover, it is in areas where Mr. Kane has responsibility that sig-nificant technical differences remain between Consumers Power and the Stat:.
For example, the necessity for soil borings in the dike surrounding the cooling pond has not i
been resolved and Consumers Power is still unable to discern the technical basis for that Staff request, a matter within Mr. Kane's responsibility.
Mr. Kane's answers to numerous questions were unresponsive and at times appeared evasive.
This made it necessary to repeat many questions several times before the witness would provide a complete or straightforward answer.
For example, Mr. Kane gave a response other than answering the asked question a total of 344 times; /
he provided information clearly beyond what was asked on 36 occasions; he gave incomplete answers 97 times; he asked for clarification 189 times, asked for questions to be repeated a total of 102 times; and Mr. Zamarin had to repeat a question or ask the reporter to repeat a question a total of 559 times in order to get Mr. Kane to answer
- /
directly.--
Such uncooperativeness by Mr. Kane substan-
,_/
This includes 102 requests for questions to be repeated.
- /
Thus, on at least 1225 occasions during less than 1815 minutes of deposition (which includes time spent in recesses, off and on record discussions between counsel, objections,
)
etc.), Mr. Kane failed to answer the question asked.
See Appendix II for detail and citation to record for the above statistics.
l
. tially extended the length of the deposition and made further questions necessary.
Finally, the Staff's argument that further questioning of Mr. Kane will cause undue expense and burden on Staff resources and time is at best frivolous.
- First, any unnecessary time expended to date results solely from Mr. Kane's unresponsive conduct, and second, such an argument is without merit as a matter of law.
The objection that an official is too busy to be deposed must be weighed in a balancing test.
Culp v.
Devlin, 15 F.R. Serv.2d 770 (E.D. Pa. 1978).
The fact that deposing busy officials would burden their heavy schedules may be outweighed by the fact that deposing them might lead to the discovery of relevant evidence. /
To decide whether continued discovery is reasonable or amounts to harassment, federal courts weigh the potential burden to the respondent against the potential benefits to the one seeking discovery.
Trane Co. v.
Klutznick, 30 F.R. Serv.2d 229 (W.D. Wis. 1980).
The burden of responding must be compared with the size of and resources available to the party.
While the inconven-
- /
In fact, rather than pursuing his normal review obliga-tions, Mr. Kane has now apparently assumed the adversarial role of assisting and coordinating Staff effort regarding the hearing--he has selected witncases to be deposed, prepared questions for Consumers' witnesses, and traveled to and sat through numerous depositions of Consumers' witnesses, both geotechnical and non-geotechnical.
. ience of discovery might be substantial on an absolute scale, it is neither burdensome nor oppressive when compared with the size and resources of a large organization.
United States v.
International Business Machines, 27 F.R.
Serv.2d 660 (S.D.N.Y. 1979).
Babcock & Wilcox Co. v.
Public Service Co. of Indiana, 22 F.R. Serv.2d 340 (S. D.
Ind. 1976).
The prejudice to Consumers if not allowed to diacover pertinent information from Mr. Kane clearly outweighs any curden, real or imagined, to the Staff.
The Staff has failed to point to a single specific fact to support the stated basis for its Motion--that the deposition was becoming cumulative, repetitive, argumenta-tive and beyond the bounds of reasonable discovery.
- Indeed, no such facts exist.
The geotechnical aspects involved are particular to each structure involved.
While general soils mat *ers and the diesel generator building and dike l
have been explored with Mr. Kane in depth, the service water i
l pump structure and auxillary building, for example, have not.
Furthermore, even if the deposition had consumed "over five days", as the Staff's papers would have this Board 1
believe it had, the key position of Mr. Kane with regard to i
the Staff and its geotechnical consultants, the nature and i
l ccmplexity of the issues involved, and the fact that Mr.
l Kane himself has been, by his unresponsiveness, responsible for any prolonging of his deposition, require that the Staff's Motion be denied and that Mr. Kane be ordered to I
. appear for completion of his deposition and to answer questions directly and in a straightforward manner.
II.
CONSUMERS SHOULD RECOVER FROM THE NRC ITS COSTS, FEES AND EXPENSES IN OPPOSING THE STAFF'S MOTION AND RESUMING THE DEPOSITION.
The Staff's refusal to produce Joseph Kane for completion of his deposition as previously agreed was un-justified.
Thus, Consumers respectfully asks this Board for an order to recover from the NRC its costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in opposing the Staff's Motion as well as in traveling to Bethesda to complete the deposition.
28 U.S.C.S.
2412 and Rule 37 (a) (4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide for such action.
10 C.F.R.
- 2. 740 (c) provides that:
If the motion for a protective order is denied in whole or in part, the presiding officer may, on such terms and conditions as are just, order that any party or person provide or permit discovery.
(emphasis supplied)
An evasive or incomplete answer may be treated as a failure to respond, supporting a Motion to Compel Discovery--not a Protective Order.
Houston Lighting and Power Company (South Texas Projects Units 1 and 2), LBP-79-05, 9 N.R.C. 193 (1979).
Mr. Kane's unresponsive conduct, the Staff's abrogation of its previous commit-ment to produce him, and its bringing of its Motion for l
a Protective Order which is so clearly without merit, i
l l
. leads inevitably to the conclusion that for the terms and conditions upon which Mr. Kane's deposition should be resumed to be just, the Staff must be required to reimburse Consumers for its fees and costs resulting from the wrongful conduct of the Staff or should be ordered to produce Mr.
Kane in Chicago for resumption of his deposition.
CONCLUSION For all of the above reasons, the Staff's Motion for a Protective Order should be denied, Mr. Kane should be ordered to appear for completion of his deposition and I
the Staff should be ordered to pay fees and costs incurred in responding to the Staff's Motion and concluding Mr. Kane's depositon, or in the alternative, should be ordered to produce Mr. Kane in Chicago for that purpose.
