The purpose of this memorandum and order is to establish a schedule for a continuation of the prehearing conference held undar 10 CFR 2.752 at ilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to set the time for a hearing to commence in these proceedings, and to rule on other matters discussed at the conference.
In the sessions of the prehearing conferbnce on July 22-23, 1981, a review of the contentions admitted to this proceeding - not eliminated through approval of motions for summary judgment - resulted in the withdra 1 of contention 13 by its sponsor, Marsh et al.,
and indications that several otner contentions may be withdrawn when the intervenors reviewed recent safety and environmental reports filed by the Staff.
To assure a thorough consideration of contentions to be the subject of hearings in this proceeding, the partie:, are directed to continue their considerations and consultations on the remaining contentions at an informal session in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on August 11, 1981.

i Board will reconvene the piehearing conference on August 12, 1981, to review the results of the parties efforts.
Both sessions will begin at 9:00 a.m. in the Gennetti Best Western Motor Inn at 77 E. Market Street in Wilkes-Barre. A site visit (for Board members and three representatives of each intervenor) to the facility at Berwick has been scheduled for the afternoon of August 12.
A hearing in this proceeding will commence on October 6, 1981 and a schedule of obligations on all parties in preparation for the hearing, which was discussed during the prehearing session, will be forthcoming in a few days.
The motion of the Citizens Against Nuclear Danger (CAND) to conditionally dismiss the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation from this proceeding because of an alleged limited participation h denied. As a representative of an interested State, the Bureau is not required to take a position in the proceeding, 10 CFR2.715(c).
However, as advised during the conference session, the Board will require the State's representative to indicate at the next session the j
particular matters - other than the issues already admittad - that it desires to participate on.
The motion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania dated June 26, 1981 to substitute the Commonwealth as-the representative'of the State in place of the Bureau of Radiation Protection h approved.
l The motion of the Staff dated May 28, 1981 for reconsideration and reversal of the Board's Order of March 16, 1981, as it related to summary disposition of Contention 2 (Chlorine), is, denied.
However, since the Board's Order admitted i
new information by the intervenor, CAND, as a basis for its denial, the Board
~
i views the Staff's motion for reconsideration as a showing of good cause for a l
liinited additional period of discovery with respect to this information and l

j contention. Accordingly, the Baord authorizes a period of ten (10) days' of l
discovery and ten (10) days for a response for the chlorine portion of Con-tention 2.
The ten-day perico for discovery starts from service of this Order 1
and the response.from receipt of the discovery request.

i.
The Board discussed a schedule at the conference for new contentions, i
modification of contentions and additional discovery requests. New contentions and any modifications of contentions based on new information must be submitted to the Board for approval within ten (10) days of the receipt of such new information. The motions submitted must identify the new information specifically and not merely refer to a report or document.
Answers to such motions must be
- received by the Chairman of the Board within fifteen (15) days of the service l
of the motions.
Additional discovery requests, whether based on new or modified contentions or on new information, must identify its basis specifically and
~
be filed directly with the party being discovered within fifteen (15) days r
