REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATION-On April 15, 1972 Saginaw Valley, et al. Intervenors l

filed a verified' Motion for an adjournment of the hearing, coupled l

-with suggestions for certain prehearing procedures to be folicwed during the period of adjournment.

This motion was the subject of l

further oral argument on April 28, 1972.

See transcrip.c pp. 5254, l

l

. e t,. sea.; 5263-77; 5281-96; 5313.

The Board denied.the Motion, L

although'no' party (other than Saginaw) submitted any facts w$ich would support any assertion of prejudice.

Saginaw-Valley, et al. Intervenors hereby request the Board to certify.to the(Commission the denial of the Motion, calling'to the Commission's attention the verified letter filed Linisupport of-the. Motion'and the relevant portions of the prehearing conference :on' April 28, 1972.

.As additional support for this request, we call specific

attention;to? the comments of Mr. fKartalia at page 5253 of thejerans-

.cript, where he said:

.800.8(060 5 6 7

~

"I would like to say, if there is any possibility

~

of working out a reasonable compromise date whereby Mr. Cherry could remain fully active in both cases, i

that I would certainly-be in favor of exploring it.

I think he-is entitled to that consideration."

Finally,-we would call the Board's attention to the statement of Chairman Murphy at page 5276 of the transcript:

"The basic. trouble I have with that-position is that if the ECCS is postulated as not working, you can't license this reactor in any event.

So that from a radiological _ _s_tandgoint, as I understand it, if you make the assumption that ECCS won't work, you can't license it."

Thus, as indicated in other Motions filed today, the state of the

~

ECCS record demonstrates that there is no basis for a conclusion that ECCS will' work..Thus, if the Board after reviewing the proffered testimony, agrees with us, then such agreement serves as an additional 0

reason for delaying the hearing and hence adds to the novelty which forms the basis for the request-for certification.

Respectfully submitted, SAGINAW VALLEY, ET AL. INTERVENORS c%
