ORDEii i

The Applicants filed motions on June 12, 1981 to compel CFUR (1) to j

provide responsive answers to ce'rtain interrogatories contained in the

}

third set of interrogatories filed April 23,1981, and (2) to supplement certain responses when the requested information is developed or obtained. CFUR filer'. its response in opposition to these motions on

~

June 29, 1981.

The..econd motion will be considered first, because the relief sought by the Applicants has already been provided by our Order entered l

July 23, 1981. We there reaffirmed a previously-adopted rule requiring that all interrogatories be treated as continuing in nature, and placing a duty on the party to whom they are addressed to supplement the responses as necessary to keep them currently accurate (pp. 9-10, 4

paragraph 2). This directive will apply to interrogatories seeking pb b#

CFUR's positions on Contentions 3 and 9.3/ CFUR is further directed to expedite such supplemental responses as much as possible.

i The Applicants' first motion complains that CFUR's answers to-Interrogatories 26-3, 28-3, 30-3, 32-3, 34-3 and 36-3 are inadequate by failing to describe "any of the consequences" which may result from i

computer codes not having TMI-2 " parameters" factored in. The alleged j

consequences relate to the ability of the computer codes used in CPSES/

FSAR to " realistically predict plant behavior" (Contention 3)'.

The codes are those developed and used by the Applicants, not CFUR.

It is not the f

latter's responsibility to do the Applicants' work or to develop their proof on contested issues. The Applicants' motion to compel further responses to these interrogatories is denied.

Interrogatories 45-3 through 83-3 deal with Contention 4.

CFUR has wholly failed to respond, and has shown no acceptable justification for such failure. The motion is granted as to these interrogatories, and -

i CFUR is directed to file responsive answers forthwith.
