THE STATE OF ILLINOIS'

-4 STAFF TO ANSWER INTERROGATOKIES Ej

[4Waq i

/,,

m The State of Illinois (Illinois), by its attor Tyrone C. Fahner, Attorney General of the State of Illinois,.hereby moves the presiding officer in the above captioned proceeding to requir.e the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff to answer interrogatories, pursuant to Section 2.720 (h) (2) (ii) of the NRC Rules of Practice.

In support of this motion Illinois states as follows:

1.

On November 16, 1981, pursuant to a discovery schedule agreed to by the parties, Illinois filed and served interrogatories to be answered by the NRC Staff.

2.

Illinois believes that answers to these interrogatories are necessary to a proper decision in the proceeding.

Each inter-rogatory propounded to the NRC Staff is related to a contention that is before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in this proceeding.

Illinois has asked a series of interrogatories requesting NRC to state its position on various aspects of the Quality Assurance and Quality Control construction program of the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 (CPS-1), which is at issue in NEE $A I

Contention 2.

Illinois has also asked a series of interrogatories requesting NRC to state its position on the operating capability and predicted performance of the CPS-1 Emergency Core Cooling System, which are issues found in Contention 10.

Finally, there are a series of interrogatories on the NRC Staff's position with respect to the operating capability and radiation protection measures of the spent fuel transfer tube, the subject of Contention 12.

Without answers to these interrogatories Illinois does not know what the NRC Staff's position is on each of these contentions.

3.

Illinois believes that the answers to these inter-rogatories are not reasonably obtainable from any other source.

The NRC ' staff has not yet issued its Safety Evaluation Report (SER) 'for CPS-1.

Moreover, the SER is not expected to be issued until after the close of discovery on the presently admitted contentions, January 15, 1982.

The answers are also not available from any other source of information available to Illinois, such as the Public Document Room.

WHEREFORE, Illinois moves the presiding officer of the Board to require the NRC Staff to answer interrogatories, filed by Illinois on November 16, 1981, upon a finding that answers to 4

the interrogatories are necessary to a proper decision in the proceeding and that answers to the interrogatories are not reasonably obtainable from any other source, pursuant to Section 2.720 (h) (2) (ii) of the NRC Rules of Practice.

Respectfully submitted,
