Duke Power Company, et al. (Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2), Docket Nos. 50-413, 50-414 Gentlemen:
During yesterdays conference call Applicants set forth a proposed schedule concerning emergency plans.
The Board requested that Applicants furnish a copy of their schedule to the. Board and parties and that any comment thereon be served on the Board by August 26, 1983.
Attachment A to this letter sets forth Applicants proposed schedule.
Applicants file this proposed schedule as a means of alleviating what we see to be a very real problem.-
To explain, absent a firm schedule, the potential exists for the same' sort of unresponsive answers to interrogatories that occurred with previous contentions.
Applicants stated at the August 8, 1983 prehearing conference that they were' prepared to file basic interrogatories in the near future; Intervenors responded that at this time they would have nothing more to add beyond that set forth at the prehearing conference.
If Applicants now proceed with fil-ing basic interrogatories and receive "we don't know" answers a pleading war will ensue.
To alleviate this-potential, 8308160447 830812 PDR ADOCK 05000413 g

4 3 Applicants suggest that they hold off serving their basic interrogatories and give Intervenors an initial period of time to further their case.
All we ask is that the Board order Intervenors to file their interrogatories on the date proposed, so that discovery moves ulong and so that Appli-cants right to responsive answers not be unduly delayed.
