Docket No. 50-322

Dear Mr. Whittamore:

In a recent telephone conversation you advised that the "Suffolk County Supplemental Response to Applicants Second Interrogatories" (October 26, 1978) failed to address Applicants' Interrogatory Q. 1, which asked:

Please explain the basis for your conclusion that 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix (B), Criterion III mandates the development of " experimental L-data to verify the suitability of material selection design" at Shoreham.

"Second Set of Applicant's Interrogatories to Suffolk County", p. 14 (12/8/77).

The hearing board, in its April 4, 1978'" Order Relative to Applicant's Request for Clarification and Limited Recon-sideration" required the County to explain its interpretation of 10 CFR 50, App. B, Criterion III, and why it believes this section mandates tests.

The basis for the County's position on this issue is substantially the same as that set forth in

See "Suffolk County Supplemental Responses To Applicant's Second Interrogatories", p. 3 That is, the County contends that due to the complexity of analysis and environmental conditions testing and development of experimental data is the only suitable means to verify the suitability of material selection design at Shoreham.

With regard to Applicant's Interrogatory F.1, the hearing board required the County to disclose the calcula-tions and assumptions which yield higher source terms for those accidents (identified in County Contention 6) than have been previously considered.
