Ellyn R. Weiss, Esquire September 24, 1984 Page 2 Interrogatory U-6. UCS agrees to identify by name the individ-uals to whom UCS generally referred in its September 4 response to Interrogatory U-6, as well as the members of management UCS believes erred in their judgment to place the individuals in their respective positions within GPUN, to the extent UCS knows.

Interrogatories U-9, U-10, U-ll, U-14 and U-15. UCS presently

'does not intend to pursue the issue of the adequacy of the TMI-l licensed operator training curriculum, either during dis-covery or during the evidentiary proceeding. UCS will supple-ment the answers to Interrogatories U-9, U-10, U-11, U-14 and

.U-15 by October 15 if that intention should change.

Interrogatory U-17. UCS will provide specific page citations to the decisions and transcripts generally referred to in its September 4 response to Interrogatory U-17.

Interrogatory U-19. UCS will specify the exams to which it re-ferred generally in its September 4 response to Interrogatory U-19.

Interrogatory U-24. UCS will identify with specificity any and all statements in the RHR Report on which its concerns about the TMI-l licensed operator training program are based which were not identified in UCS' previous response to Interrogatory U-24.

Supplementation of Interrogatories. UCS recognizes its obliga-tion to supplement its answers to Licensee's interrogatories, particularly those responses which state only that UCS has not yet reviewed a document, or had not completed.its review. See UCS' response to Interrogatories U-4, U-16, U-lC, U -20, U-2 5, U-26, U-27 and U-28.

In response to Union of Concerned Scientists' First Set of Interrogatories to General Public Utilities, dated August 28, 1984, Licensee and UCS agree to the following:

Interrogatory 2(a). Licensee will determine the availability of the CVs referred to in its September 12 response.

Interrogatory 2(c). Licensee will ask each of its prospective witnesses to identify the name(s) of previous cases, other than the restart proceeding, in which the individual previously has testified, and the subject-matter of the individual's testimony.
