In the Matter of S HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER S Docket Nos. 50-498 OL COMPANY, ET AL. S 50-499 OL S

(South Texas Project, Units S 1 and 2) S STATE OF TEXAS'S MOTION FOR ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD TO REQUIRE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF TO ANSWER INTERROGATORIES Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. section 2.720 (h) (2) (ii) and section

2. 790 (e) , the State of Texas hereby moves the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in this proceeding to require the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff to answer the interrogatories attached

, hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2 and to produce the documents i

requested therein.

The purpose of the Phase II inquiry is to examine both the handling of the Quadrex Report by Houston Lighting & Power Company and the substance of the report itself, and to examine the adequacy of the Staff's position on hurricane design.

The NRC Staff conducted one investigation which led to the release of the Quadrex Report to the NRC Staff and the Board (I&E 81-28) , two invest ~igations regarding the handling of the Quadrex Report (I&E 82-02 and I&E 82-12), and various investigations 4

regarding the substance of the Quadrex Report-(82-12 being the first such investigation).

Based-on these investigations, the NRC Staff reached conclusions about the Quadrex findings regarding notification /

8308110264 830803 PDR ADOCK 05000498 G PDR TJ soa

i

. . rsportability under 10 C.F.R. scetion 50. 55 (e) , cafety cignificanco, generic implications, and' adequacy of resolution.

Based on documents reviewed by Texas to date, the positions 1

of various NRC personnel and of NRC personnel and HL&P personnel 1 I

seem to be at variance regarding the import of the Quadrex findings l

1 and the factual context of the Quadrex handling. j i

As to hurricane design,. Texas claims its interrogatories are i I

1 relevant because they will elicit responses that will aid the j i

Licensing Board in assessing the contention that the plant has not l J

been designed to withstand the highest recorded wind velocities.

The Board has recognized that the Staff's position merits full exploration. See Memorandum and Order (Ruling Upon CCANP's Motion to Adopt Contentions of CEU), dated Oct. 15, 1982 at pages 10-14.

Intertwined with the interrogatories are document requests.

Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. section 2.744, therefore, Exhibits 1 and 2 are being served upon the Executive Director for Operations, with a cover letter of which a copy is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

To enable Texas to better prepare for the licensing hearings and assist the Board in the development of the most complete record for a proper decision, it is necessary for Texas to understand the positions taken by the NRC and to examine the available documentation supporting'those positions.

For the above and. foregoing reasons, Texas urges the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to grant this motion.
