. 5.
Myron Cherry, Esq. advised that he was considering becoming Counsel for the League, but at the time of the meeting was participating only in the formulation of the wordings of the League's contentions.
6.
The attendees failed to accomplisn the objective of the meeting because Mr. Cherry was not prepared to address the specific intent of each of the League's contentions.
7.
League representatives said little and allowed Mr. Cherry to speak for them.
8.
Throughout the meeting Mr. Cherry's motivation appeared to be one of identifying issues that he could use in his contest against NRC licensing practices.
He did not appear to have any desire to pursue the specific contentions of the League and to aid the attendees in achieving the objectives of the meeting.
9.
During the meeting Mr. Cherry identified generic issues as an item of high interest to him.
10.
Mr. Cherry identified steam generator tube problems to illustrate his position on generic issues.
Specifically, he argued that if the Byron steam generators were acceptable, there was no basis for the staff to pursue the matter as a generic issue. Conversely, he argued that if there was a generic issue, no basis existed for licensing Byron.
11.
I cannot recall whether the subject of delay as a motivation for intervention was ever raised.
