This conference call took place in the Board's Washington offices and by telephone connection with the parties in their respective offices. The conference began promptly at 1:30 PM (EDT). A verbatim record was made by a reporter located in the Board's office.

Transcripts were ordered made available to any party wishing to purchase them from the reporting service. All parties except the Graterford inmates' counsel requested copies of the conference.

In the fifty minute conference the following input was received from the participating parties:

1. Witnesses identified by inmates' counsel were: (a) Major Case; (b) an unnamed University of Pennsylvania witness; (c) Supervisor Giamo of Skippack Township; and (d) Graterford Inmate Thomas Martin.

Graterford counsel indicated agreement that this witness would be deposed at the prison to avoid problem of transporting a maximum security prisoner to the hearing.

2. Applicant identified no witness for case-in-chief but advised it may call in rebuttal Mr. Bradshaw, a witness who previously testified on emergency planning for the Applicant in this proceeding.

3. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Commissioner of Department of Corrections Jeffes on ETE and PEMA's Donald F. Taylor on the training issue; and

4. NRC Staff identified Dr. Urbanik and an unnamed FEMA witness.

3 The parties participating agreed on a conference call for June 19, 1985 of the parties to make arrangements for time and location for deposing the various witnesses. The Board ordered that all prefiled testimony would be filed July 8, 1985. The Board expects, in accordance wita its established custom, that the parties understand the prefiled testimony to be delivered in hand to each of the parties no later than 5:00 PM (EDT) on July 8, 1985.

Further decision reached in this conference was the Board's notice to the parties that it would not order briefs at the conclusion of the hearings on the Graterford contention. Rather, the Board advised the parties that oral arguments wculd be permitted and that any party

. wishing to do so could file simultaneously with their oral arguments written outlines of their findings of fact and conclusions of law. This l accepted procedure by the parties, the Board believes, is in keeping witn the Ccmmission's direction for expeditious handling in this case. The Board now announces that it will grant an appropriate period of time not to exceed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from the conclusion of the testimony to the beginning of the oral arguments by the parties for review and/or preparation.
