ASLBP No. 93-671-01-OLA-3 GEORGIA POWER COMPANYS MOTION TO RECONVENE DEPOSITION OF ALLEN MOSBAUGH I.

Introdygtion Georgia Power Company (" Georgia Power") hereby moves for a limited reopening of dis-covery to pennit reconvening of the deposition of Mr. Allen Mosbaugh to address two documents that have recently been produced by the NRC Staff. These documents raise serious questions con-cerning Mr. Mosbaugh's credibility. Good cause exists for this additional discovery because the documents were not available prior to the close of discovery or the previous deposition of Mr.

Mosbaugh.'

The documents in question were among the so-called "88 inches" of 01 documents that the NRC Staff made available for inspection after December 16,1994. Ses letter from J. Hull to M. Kohn and J. Lamberski (December 16,1994). Georgia Power visited the NRC Region II of-fices and requested copies of certain files on December 27,1994. These files were provided to L

Mr. Mosbaugh was deposed by Georgia Power on the diesel generator issue on August 24,1994.

m D-Georgia Power in mid-January,' Upon' subsequent review of the files, the significance of the two.

_ documents in' question'was ascertained i

~

Because the documents raise serious questions concerning Mr. Mosbaugh's credibility, Georgia Power wishes to depose Mr. Mosbaugh without prior disclosure of the documents and -

R their import. Georgia Power believes that an element of surprise is necessary under these circum-stances in order to obtain as candid and unrehearsed responses as possible.~ A deposition is the E

best way to accomplish this objective, because it will allow Georgia Power the opportunity to question Intervenor on these important issues of credibility, while still affording Intervenor the op-portunity to consider the documents prior to, and in preparation for, hearing.

Because revealing the substance of the documents or Georgia Power's intended. questions.

1 would hamper or frustrate our ability to cross-examine Mr. Mosbaugh effectively and assess'Mr.

Mosbaugh's credibility, Georgia Power provides a more detailed discussion of the documents and i

their import in the attached memorandum submitted for the Board's in camera review E Georgia Power requests that the Board preserve the confidentiality of this memorandum until completion l of the requested deposition, or in the event this motion is denied, until after cross-examination of -

Mr. Mosbaugh at the hearing.

Georgia Power requests that it be permitted to depose Mr. Mosbaugh on March 15 or 16, the period set aside to complete depositions.E This would not result in any extension of the cur-rent schedule.

  • This procedure is similar to that employed in Intervenor's Motion for Subpoena of James Joiner (Dec. 24, 1994). There, Intervenor submitted an in camera cross-examination plan as the basis for the subpoena.

E March 17 also had been set aside, but Mr. Ben Hayes is being deposed on that date.
