MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Ruling on Applicant's Motion to Strike Testimony)

MEM0RANDUM In conjunction with its motion to particularize Rorem Contention 1(a), as supplemented by its letter of October 2, 1985, Applicant has moved to strike a portion of Staff's testimony which it contends goes beyond the scope of the particularized contention it desires.

. notification measures to be taken at the time of an accident.We based our determination on Intervenor's failure to raise any issues curing discovery or in prefiled direct testimony other than relating to pre-accident information dissemination to the public.

As Applicant requests in its motion to exclude testitrony (at 3) we would not allow testimony pertaining to " advance arrangenents for dissemination of information through the news media during an emer-gency."

However, we did not further restrict the testimony to only the emergency information brochure. Consequently, tc the extent that planned annual press briefings are to be utilized to further educate the public about emergency planning in the ever-of a radiological emergency, testimony about that forction is admis_ ible; to the extent they are utilized to establish in advance the principal points of con-tact with the news media for information dissemination during an emer-gency, the testimony is excludable.

ORDER I

For all the foregoing reasons and based upon a consideration of the entire record in this matter, it is, this 25th day of October, 1985 ORDERED l
