A CI+ENJALTd 0F PENNSYLVANIA'S SEATE}ENT OF FOSITION ON UCS BIfCK VALVE >0 TION On March 3,1981, USC filed a cocica for a Board order to recpen the record to ccnsider FORV block valve test results. This noticn was de subject of nt=nrous respenses by. de Licensee ed the staff, as well as UCS. Io date, the Cummalth has stated no positicn en dis issue.

The Cau. maid initially found dat de UCS notien was adequately addressed by "Iicensee's Answer to the Unicn of Concemed Scientists' bbtien for Board Order cn FCRV Block Valve Test Fesults," dated March 13, 1981. Upcn review of the "thicn of Conce med Scientists' Feply to Yet Ed and Staff Subcissiens en Valve Testing" (April 22, 1981),
and in particular, de attached " Affidavit of Ecbert D. Pollard," the Cerncamald new believes dat the infomatien recuested at Pages 5-6 of de Pollard affidavit (514) should be provided to de 3 card. This pcsition is not altered by " Licensee's Furder er.swer to de Unicn of Cr.ce=ed Scientists' Motica for 3 card Order en 31ock Valve Test Fesults" (Fay 11, 1981).
T.'e Cuu. maid dces not believe dat the test results ci.ed in Mr. Follard's affidavit are dispcsitive cf de issues raised by UCS o) b 'I -
Cententien 6.
The test results do, hcwier, raise sericus doubts o
I 8107o205/9 g
regarding the ability of the 'IMI-l block valve to perform its intended fx.ction. Rose ccncerns should be addressed en the record. Licensee cannot ignore these results by asserting that the PORV block valves perform to safety functicns, as supported by Licensee's testineny.
Licensee's Further Ansar (May 11,1981), at 4.
'Ihe fact is that the significance of the functions of the block valve is a discuted issue in this proceeding. LIS addressed.de safety functions of the FORV and the PChV block valve in the " Direct Testirony of Ecbert D. Pollard en Behalf of the Unicn of Concerned Scientists regarding CCS Contention 5."
'h.ile Licensee is correct in arguing that valve testing is the subject of UCS cententica 6, stu.ch was abandoned by UCS and adopted by the Board, the fac
- _._ _ 4t the safety significance of the PORV and block va'.ve is a dupcted, factual issue in de proceeding. The issue of valve test results, derefore, is fully within the centext of issues which de Scard ::rst decide in this proceeding.
Mcreover, de UCS rocian should not be rejected due to the techni-cality cited by Licensee dat CCS did not elect to pursue UCS Cententien 6.
The Board, in its discretion, elected to pursue UCS 6 due ~o the inportance of dese issues fer de safe operaticn of IMI-1. The Board has an independent obligation to ensure that a full record is developed on all i..portant safety issues in the proceeding, regardle.ss of da i
i rancar in which the issues are raised.
It is inportant to rote in dis regard dat de original March 3,1981 CCS otien was based en new inforacicn (new in de sense that it had not previcusly been rade available to the parties in this proceeding).
Finally, the Cuu.u.malth notes that the additicnal inforatien supplied in Enclosure 1 to Licensee's May 11,1981 'Turder Ansar" does
.~
. 4 not adequately resolve the concerns raised by UCS.
In fact, the additional inforraticn appears to ccaform with paragraph 3 of Mr. Pollard's affidavit, witich states:
All failures of block valves to close fully during the EPRI tests inwived a risratch betwen the valve closing force needed and the size of the rotor operacor or an incorrect torque switch setting. No valve failures, per se, w re inwived in these failures to close.
For the foregoing reascns, the Concertaalth of Pennsylvania reqtests that the relief outlined in paragraph 14 of the Pollard affidavit be granted.
Paspectfully st citted,
