Conner and-Wetterhahn 1747 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20006 Re: Limerick Generating Station, Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353
Dear Mr. Wetterhahn,
Pursuant to the NRC Licensing Board's Orders of June 1 and October 20, 1982, I request that the following report be included in the joint report to the Board on informal discovery, due January 24:
Status of Informal Discovery Requests of Intervenors as of 1/17/83 Four intervenors/ consolidated intervenors have submitted informal discovery' requests to the Applicant (PECO) and/or the NRC staff.
- 1) Robert Anthony (FOE) submitted a request for documents related to his contentions V-3A and V-3B on Nov. 22, to PECO.
He has not yet received a reply.
- 2) Marvin Lewis submitted a request to the NRC staff on August 18, 1982, related to his contention I-62, pressurized thermal shock. On Sept. 23, Mr. Lewis was informed by the staff that his request did not meet the guidelines for informal discovery as outlined in the Board's June 1, 1982 Order, and that his questions would be answered when formal discovery began.
Additional information has come to Mr. Lewis' attention recently that leads him to believe that informal discovery to PECO on this matter would be beneficial. Thus Mr. Lewis requests that informal discovery continue.
, to -
Wetterhahn, page 2 3)~ .Mr.-Frank Romano and Mr. Marvin Lewis jointly submitted i
discovery requests (through Mr. Romano) on-Sept. 3 and Sept. 23, 1982, related to contention VI-1, quality assurance / control.
InEa letter received on January 17, 1983, PECO stated its
' intention-to.make available those documents responsive to the
-request, at a site near PECO headquarters in Philadelphia.
~; Since the' documents will not be available for-inspection and copying until January 19, Mr. Romano _and Mr.' Lewis request that informal discovery be per.itted to continue -- it may be that i
additional such discovery would be useful after they have had Lthe opportunity to review t..e documents thus far offered. .
1 It should also be mentioned that it appears that some of intervenors' requests related to contention VI-l have been misinterpreted or misunderstood. Further informal discovery o
will provide the opportunity for clarification.
- 4) Mr. Frank _ Romano submitted requests concerning his contention V-4, on carburetor icing, on Sept. 3 and Sept. 23, 1982. 'In a letter received January 17, PECO responded as
,L_
in item #3 above. '
- 5) On August 26, _1982, LEA submitted a discovery request on contentions I-59'and -60 to the NRC. (These contentions relate to the setting of design basis for-Limerick, and_to the control of radioactive releases from the site, respectively.)
On January 17, 1983, the NRC. staff indicated by phone that a response;would be forthcoming.
- 6) On August 26, 1982, LEA submitted to PECO a series of discovery requests related to its PRA contentions, its accident monitoring ~ contentions, and contentions I-33A and I-43.
7 By-letter received January 14, PECO responded as in item #3
- l. above.
- 7) On~ December- 29, 1982, LEA made a discovery request to the NRC related to PRA contentions. LEA has been-informed that the NRC is presently-working on a response to that request.
Due to the fact that responses to various discovery requests made by intervenors are only recently beginning to arrive, I request that informal discovery continue.
-Mark and Ann: Please let me know if you have any problems with the substance of the above. If not, please include it along with the NRC estimated release dates for NRC review documents and PECO's status report on incomplete application l
sections. Thanks.

SUBJECT:
REVISED SCHEDULE FOR CONTRACTOR REPORT FOR LGS PRA -
~
The Erookhaven National Laboratory, under contract TIN A-3393, is preparing a report for RRAB that' evaluates the Probabilistic Risk Assessment on the
-Limerick' Generating Station. Brookhaven has requested an additional delay in issuing the report owing to the diversion of their resources to work on ~
the hearing support for the Indian Point plants. .
The Accident Evaluation Branch.is being provided with the support because the present consequence analysis on the Indian Point plants is considered '
obsolete (F. Rowsome, RES, to R. Mattson, DSI, 11/30/82). The Indian hint plant's_ consequence analysis needs updating because (a) there are new accident sequence likelihoods, (b) design and procedure changes have altered the dominant contributors, (c) errors were discovered in the ~
characte'rization of two release categories of the conventional source term, and'(d) the coupling of the emergency response model to both inte,rnal and external accident initiators has been discovered to be- important.
S e
. O . .

The resulting delay in the Brookhaven report on the Limerick PRA is estimated to be about three weeks. We recommer.d that the final report
- milestone be changed from February 18, 1983 to March 11, 1983. Also, we recommend that the Limerick Board be notified concerning the delay.

Dear Erul:
otherOwing to the projects ir NRC need for BNL personnel to divert resources to work on support of the Indian Point hearing, the milestones for the BNL final report on the " Review of the Limerick PRA" must change. As per discussions between R. A. 3ari (BNL) and F. Coffman (RRAB) this diversion of resources will -result 'in a forward shift of the milestone dates. As per our discussions the new milestone dates are as follows:
Submission of final draft to NRR February 4,1983
^ Receipt of NRC coments on final draft February 11, 1983 Submission of camera ready copy February 18, 1983 If you have any comments please let me know as soon as possible.

The Staff is now engaged in preparing its Draft Environmental Statement (DES), which is scheduled to be issued in May,1983, and Safety Evaluation Report -(SER), scheduled for issuance in August,1983. These documents,
! which will be made available to all-persons on the service list, will address the matters identified in your request for infonnal discovery.
You are no doubt aware that these matters were addressed in the FES and SER issued in connection with the Construction Permit proceeding for the Limerick station.
