MEMORANDUM (e arnarir ing Conference Call)
The Board held a conference call with the parties on November 16, 1981, to discuss several matters relating to discovery. Participating were Chairman Clark, Judge Paris, Mr. Goddard for the NRC Staff, Mr. Fazio
'for the~ Applicants, Mr. Bacon for the Intervenors, and Mr Willman for the State of Illinois. / The discussion dealt with and/or led to the following:
- 1) The Answer of Applicants in Opposition to Prairie Alliance's 1
i Motion to Compel Discovery, dated October 6, 1981, did not move for a protective order pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 52.740(c) and 52.740(f).
The parties agreed to stipulate to a waiver of that requirement and thus enable tiie Board to act on the basis of Applicants' October 6' pleading.
- 2) The Intervenors have been unable to complete discovery from documents made available by the Applicants, because not all needed documents have been available in one place and documents have been e
available only during business hours. Applicants agreed to discuss with Intervenors how they could make all documents available in one place during non-business hours, 0
35S
- / Judge Ferguson was not available to participate in this conference call because of another commitment.

- 3) Applicants and Intervenors agreed to meet for further d Hcushions and negotiations directed toward expediting discovery.
- 4) Applicants indicated that they would consider submitting motions for summary disposition of some contentions following the second round of discovery.
The Board was pleased with the results of this conference call and comends the parties for their spirit of cooperation.
Consistent with the Commission's instruction that " boards should manage and supervise all dis-covery, including not only the initial discovery directly following admis-sion of contentions, but also any discovery conducted thereafter" (CLI-81-8, 13 NRC 452, 456 (May 20, 1981)), we plan to initiate future conference calls as necessary in order to expedite discovery.
