SUFFOLK COUNTY REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION By its Order Establishing Schedule for Resumed Hearing, dated May 31, 1984, this Board set the schedule for further hearings on LILCO's Low Power Motion and on the Application for Exemption.

Suffolk County hereby requests clarification of one aspect of the schedule.

When the prior hearing was halted on April 25, 1984, the County was nearing completion of the examination of LILCO's witnesses it was then in a position to conduct.

The County had examined LILCO's first three panels of witnesses and was prepar-ing-to commence examination of Mr. Museler when the hearing was halted.

See Tr. 552-53, 579-80.

When the hearing resumes, the County wishes not only to cross-examine Mr. Museler, but also to ask additional questions of the other LILCO witnesses.

The pur-pose of this clarification request is to ensure that the County and other parties will have this opportunity.

a.,

As-the' Board certainly is aware, it is the County's position that it did not have an adequate opportunity under the previous schedule to prepare to cross-examine LILCO's witnesses.

The County has previously expressed this view on the record (Tr.

134-35, 149, 259) and the District Court's Temporary Restraining -

Order provides support for this view.

Similarly, the NRC's decision to vacate the earlier schedule, made after the NRC's General Counsel advised the NRC that if the Commission did not "give the court something reasonable" there would be a prelimin-ary injunction,l/ is further support for the view that the County's prior opportunity to cross-examine was not sufficient.

Thus, when the hearing resumes, the County and other parties should have the opportunity to engage in further examination.

Even aside from the foregoing, however, the County needsHan opportunity to examine the LILCO witnesses again because the context of the proceeding has changed.

The NRC, in_CLI-84-8, May 16, 1984, has enunciated additional-criteria which must be met by LILCO, and which were not part of the proceeding during the April examination of witnesses.

These include the question whether operation at low power with;the enhanced LILCO offsite power system will be as safe as operation at low power with fully qualified onsite diesels. -The County is entitled to probe-.

LILCO's witnesses on these new matters.

r The County does not intend to repeat its prior cross-examination and_does.not ask that the hearing start again from-1/

scratch.

Rather, the County only seeks clarification that all of f

LILCO's witnesses are to be available for examination when the hearing resumes.
