WESPAC'S INTERROGATORIES FOR i "' iggmag;in a /.T S
CONSOLIDATED EDISON b h <\ 8 l On April 23, 1982 the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board issued a Memorandizn and Order Formulating Contentions, Assigning Intervenors, and Setting a Schedule for the above-captioned proceeding. The Board ordered that formal discovery was to begin on April 26, and that all interroga-tories on " matters under Commission Questions 3 and 4" be filed by May 3, although " discovery on matters to be heard later than the week of June 22 ~
shall continue." (Board 4/23 order at 22, footnote 5). WESPAC received this order on the evening of April 28, two working days before the filing deadline.
We have put together a number of discovery interrogatories which are asked within this filing. Since hearings on matt'rs e relating to Commission Questions 3 and 4 will undoubtedly take longer than the week of June 22,.we
- [# would like to be able to ask interrogatories on these issues after this initial May 3 filing deadline.
// Our questions for Consolidated Edison concern a few issues relating to Con Ed specifically, but mostly address matters which are of mutual and equal relevance to both licensees. We are not rigid in requiring answers frw both Con Ed and PASNY for questions which bear upon both licensees.
If we receive a complete answer from one utility, and the other wishes to -
~
adopt the identical answer by reference, that is perfectly all right wit'h ' ,
