RESPONSE TO NRC STAFF INTERROGATORIES TO INTERVENOR BRIDGET LITTLE ROREM, ET AL.

CONCERNING ITS QUALITY ASSURANCE CONTENTION AND MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER Intervenors Bridget Little Rorem, et al., by their under-signed counsel, hereby respond to NRC Staff Interrogatories to Intervenor Bridget Little Rorem, et al. concerning their Quality Assurance Contention, which were served July 12,* 1985.

Pursuant to 10 CFR Section 2.740(c), Intervenors move for the

. entry of a protective order as to each interrogatory and request for production of documents, or portion thereof, as to which they herein object.

The NRC Staff's responses are expected shortly.
