was made as to Applicants' availability far the scheduling of a prehearing conference scmetime in August.

The Zimmer operating license proceeding has been pending since 1975 and the record on all contentions was finally closed in March 1982. As the Applicants pointed out in their opposition to the motion by the new representatives of MVPP, no purpose was seen for rehashing matters long since considered directly by the Commissioners in the issuance of the Notice of Violation dated November 24, 1981.

Supplemental Initial. Decision on i

" Quality Assurance" Matters

! Adoption of this schedule will obviate.the licensing process from being the critical path to the start-up of the plant.

! On another aspect of the proceeding, Staff counsel incuired if Applicants wanted the Board to delay ruling.cn the pending motion f or reconsideratien until af ter argument at the prehearing 1

conference. To the contrary, the Applicants believe that the Board should rule immediately upon the motion for recensideration

- in order to clarify the record,-such that any additional informa-

=

tion on emerc.encv. c. lanninc. can be inalt with in order to avoid

)

any delay. This is particularly true in view of the Commission's

~

j. adoption of the rule that provides, inter alia, that.for issuance

of. operating licenses authorizing only fuel- loading -and low

power operation (up to 5% of rated power), no NRC or' Federal.

i l Emergency Management Agency-(FEMA) review, findings and t

) determination concerning the state or adecuacy of.offsite

! emergency preparedness shall be necessary.
