Gentlemen:

The Department of Energy, on behalf of itself and its co-applicants Project Managenent Corporation and the Tennessee Valley Authority, is writing to clarify the record in connection with Applicants' July 22, 1982 Answers to the Questions of Ca missioner Ahearne, dated July 12, 1982.

As filed, the second line in the answer to Question 5 contained an in-advertant typographical error, the word " relevant" appearing where

" irrelevant" should have been. Enclosed is a copy of the corrected Page.

Does the DOE continue to support all cost calculations in reference 7-5?

Answer: Applicants support the cost calculations contained in Deputy Secretary Davis' letter and the specific references to previous submissions in that letter.

Question 5. Page 25, " Applicants' Memorandum in Support of Request to Conduct Site Preparation Activities":

"This case in [ sic] on all fours with Shearon Harris."

Given that the site preparation work addressed in the Shearon Harris case was authorized before the LWA rule went into effect, please explain why Shearon Harris is "on all fours" with the current request.

Answer: The fact that the LWA regulations were not in effect at the time the Commission issued its decision in Shearon Harris is irrelevant to the question of whether the factual circumstances of Shearon Harris are <

"on all fours" with the factual circumstances of CRBRP. In granting a Section 50.12 exemption in Shearon Harris, the Atomic Energy Commission required the applicant to meet precisely the same burden of proof which the Applicants here must meet. The existence of the LWA regulations has no bearing on the issue of whether the applicant in Shearon Harris met the burden of proof prescribed by Section 50.12, just as it had no bearing on whether Applicants in this case have met the same burden of proof.

Applicants believe that this case is on all fours with Shearon Harris because of the strong factual parallels between the two cases under the Section 50.12 factors. Indeed, we believe the facts in this case are even more compelling that those in Shearon Harris. In Shearon Harris, favorable findings were made under all of the Section 50.12
