' A PARTNERS ***P psCLUDeNO PROFf SSeoNAL CORDORAf TONS NRC Commissioners May 29, 1985 Page 2 In the meantime, Licensee requests that the Commission take no action on the UCS motion.

If UCS were truly concerned about having a " reasonable opportunity to take'[its] case to court"

-(Motion at 13), it could have filed its st'ay request in a rea-sonably timely fashion, rather than the evening before the Com-mission's vote on restart. -The Commission's Order scheduling

the.. restart vote issued on May 8, 1985.

~Moreover, as indicated in the Affidavit of Henry D.

=Hukill, Jr., attached to " Licensee's Opposition to TMIA Stay Re-quest" (May 24, 1985), it will take Licensee at'least five days to' complete final plant heatup and surveillance testing using non-nuclear heat (Aff. at 1 7(a)).

Thus, even if the Commission cwere to authorize restart this afternoon, Licensee would not be in a position to go critical before Monday, June 3, 1985.

This five-day period will give~the Commission an adequate. opportunity

.to consider the UCS motion and prompt. responses, and determine whether the equities truly require issuance of a stay.

Any dif-ferent action by the-Commission would reward UCS.for waiting until the eleventh hour to file its stay request with the Com-mission.

Respectfully submitted,
