-affirmative, please identify each analysis or description, analycis or information and all documents containing it.

Please state if you possess a copy or not for each such document.

ANSWER: (a/b) Yes. Shearon Harris DES, Appendix C. Ap-plicants possess a copy.

?

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-2(a): Is CP&L in possession of any documents that discuss the health effects of effluents from the nuclear fuel cycle, (i) as given in Table S-3 (ii) for parts of the cycle other than power reactor operations (iii) that document or compute any such health effects for radiological effl,uents from the nuclear fuel cycle?

ANSWER: See Answer to 8F(2)-1(b) and 8F(2)-5(d).

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-2(b): If answer to any part of (a) above is affirmative, for each such part please identify each such document and tell what it discusses, documents or computes.

ANSWER: Not applicable.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-3(a): Do Applicants have any opinion as to what the health effects of the radiological effluents given in Table S-3 are?

ANSWER: Yes. The effect is insignificant compared to naturally occurring effects.

1 INTERROGATORY NO. 8F2-3(b): If so,.please state that opinion and give the identification of any documents or work papers containing it.

ANSWER: Applicants have not set forth this opinion in other documents or work papers.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-3(c): Please fully cite all basis, expert opinions, or authorities on which you rely in holding the opinion inquired about in (a) above.

ANSWER: Shearon Harris DES, Appendix C and references ,

cited therein.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-3(d): If you had an opinion (in response to (a)), do you know if NRC Staff shares that opinion or not?

ANSWER: Yes.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-3(e): 'If answer to (d) is affir-mative, what is your understanding of NRC Staff's position on the health effects of these radiological effluents? Is it the same as your position? If not, how do the two differ?

ANSWER: The NRC Staff position is as set forth in the Shearon Harris DES and is the same as Applicants' opinion.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-3(f): Do Applicants agree that the health effects of the effluents (radiological) as given in Table S-3 should be considered in the cost-benefit balance for Harris licensing under NEPA (operating license state)?

ANSWER: Applicants agree that the health effects of the radiological effluents specified in Table S-3 have been consid-ered by the NRC Staff in the Shearon Harris DES, and that Wells Eddleman's objection to this analysis has been admitted as a contention in this proceeding.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-3(g): Please state in full the basis for your answer to (f) above inclu' ding any expert opinions or documents on which you rely, any authority on which You rely, and any other basis for your answer.

ANSWER: Shearon Harris DES, Appendix C; Memorandum and Order of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in this proceed-ing, dated August 18, 1983.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-4(a): App'licants agreed that 8F(2) (as admitted in your rewording) was an admissible conten-tion, didn't you?

ANSWER: Yes.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-4(b): Do you agree with any part of the contention 8F(2)?

ANSWER: No.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-4(c): If answer to (b) is affir-mative, please state which part(s) and for each part, explain why.

ANSWER: Not applicable.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-4(d): If answer to (b) is other than affirmative, please state in detail all your disagreements with each part of 8F(2), giving for each part the basis of your disagreements, a list of your disagreements, and citing fully any authorities, experts or documents on which you rely.

ANSWER: The DES assessment of health effects in Appendix C encompasses health effects for a 100-1000 year period. This is not inadequate. The effect in that time period is insignif-icant in comparison with naturally occurring effects. For longer periods of time the projection of continuing effect is

too speculative to be scientifically reliable since the projection postulates no advancement in medicine or in disease control, assumptions at odds with history. In any event, given the fact of radionuclide decay over time, the health effect over any time period however long will be no greater in proportion to the naturally occurring incidence of such effects than in the first 100-1000 years. In short, the effect pres-ently is insignificant in comparison with naturally occurring effects and can be expected to remain so. As to the remaining three elements of Contention 8F(2), we understand these to be based on the Heidelberg Report, NRC Translation 520. See Joint Intervenors' Answer to Interrogatory 11-21. We disagree with this Report. The Report has been reviewed and thoroughly dis-credited. See the following:

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-4(e): If you have not formed an opinion with respect to any part of 8F(2), please so state.

ANSWER: Not applicable.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-5(a): What study and analysis have Applicants made or had made, or commissioned or ordered of NRC Translation 520 as it concerns (i) food chain concentration analyses (ii) radionuclide concentration values (iii) doses from external emitters (iv) doses from internal emitters?

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-5(b): Please state who made each analysis for each part of (a) above for which your answer is affirmative, state their qualifications to make the analysis, state whether they did it for Applicants, state whether it was done as an employee, as a consultant,.under some other instruction or commission from Applicants, or otherwise, and identify all documents containing such analysis, for each such analysis or study.

ANSWER: (a/b) Applicants believe Translation 520 has been discredited. See Answer to 8F(2)-4(d). To date, Applicants have not conducted a review of Translation 520 on the points referenced in the Interrogatory. To the extent Applicants' consultants, witnesses or counsel may prepare such a critique as a part of trial preparation, such efforts clearly fall with-in the trial preparation and/or work product exception to the general rules of discovery. See 10 C.F.R. S 2.740(b)(2); Rule 26(b)(3).

o a INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-5(c): Are Applicants aware of any analysis or study by anyone else of NRC Translation 520, con-cerning any of the matters asked about in (a)(i) through (a)(iv) above?

INTERROGATORY NO. 8F(2)-5(d): If answer to (c) is affir-mative, please identify each such analysis or study, who made it, when, and identify all documents containing each such, stating whether you possess a copy.

ANSWER: (c/d) See Answer to Interrogatory 8F(2)-4(d).

Applicants possess copies of the referenced critiques of NRC Translation 520.
