These interrogatories and requests for documents shall be continuing in nature, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.740(e) and the past directive of the Licensing Board. Because of the time restrictions under which we are presently working, we request that supplementation be made on an expedited basis.

CASE'S INTERR0GATORIES AND REQUESTS TO PRODUCE TO NRC STAFF All of these interrogatories and requests for documents are derived directly from information contained in the " CAT Report" (Construction Appraisal Team Inspection Report 50-445/83-18, 50-446/83-12). Due to the press of time, we are limiting our discovery requests at this time to l

the matters which we believe will be covered in the upcoming May 16-20 hearings, either during cross-examination testimony or through direct testi-mony of. CASE Witness Jack Doyle. However, we do plan to file additional discovery requests regarding other portions of the " CAT Report" at a later

s time, as indicated in the April 25, 1983 conference call. Therefore, the NRC Staff should not construe this instant request as being all of the interroga-tories and requests for documents which we will be filing regarding the

" CAT Report." We will file the additional requests as soon as possible in order to facilitate Applicants' and NRC Staff's speedy response to those requests.

We have indicated in parenthesis following each item the page number from the " CAT Report" wherein the infonnation sought is referenced.
