) OL Wells Eddlenan's Response to Board. Ouest$ons on 6!4F In its order (served Dec 2 dated Nov 30) ruling on sunnary disposition of Eddleman contention 6hF (spent fuel cask safety) at p.9 the Board asks two questions re what would happen if Applicants CP&L et al seek to amend their cask license later to ship " wet" (water-cooled shinments of spent fuel) and/or use cressure relief valves of the tyne at issue in contention 6hF:

1. Will (intervenor) Eddleman be entitled to notice and an opportunity for hearing on the proposed amendment in a cask licensing proceeding?

Answer: I don't know the fine points of law on this, but it seems to ne in simple fairness that I should be. I was entitled to notice and opportunity for a hearing on the cask's safety in this proceeding, and timely put forth contention 6hP, addressing the safety ggg of wet shipments of spent fuel using a nressure relief valve which can gga- stick open and has components which are et risk of failure in fives.

EO Applicants now commit to remove the valve and not shin wet, so the o timely contention has been dismissed. If they later reverse their ex commitments , that effectively restores the subject of contention 6hP.

oo If I don't then get notice and opportunity for a hearing on the cask M license changer, pronosed, Aeplicants will have neatly evaded nublic l herring and carticipation by an interested party on these issues.

@o 2. If not, would the NRC Staff and Applicants comnit to nroviding (intervenor) Eddleman notice and an opporU nity for hearing on this issue oE$NShfF$do $kn wa Sa p ca $ i$co [*[of
