qualificatis_ of RG-58 cable, and in support thereof, respectfully represent as follows:
STATEMENT OF PRIOR PROCEEDINGS AND FACTS Under date of April 21, 1982, the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution (NECNP) , filed a contention in this proceeding denominated "NECNP I.B.2" which read in its entirety as follows:
"The Applicant has not satisfied the requirements of GDC 4 that all equipment important to safety be environmentally qualified because it has not specified the time duration over which the eculoment is cualified." (Emphasis added)2 The contention was admitted for litigation by the Licensing Board on September 13, 1982.3 At the hearing, and over the objection of the Applicants that the only issue open for litigation under the contention as admitted was whether the Applicants had specified time durations for the equipment,4 NECNP was permitted to cross-examine upon, and raise, the issue of whether the qualification files in fact demonstrated that various pieces of equipment were environmentally qualified. As part of this l 2This text of the contention, which is as it was criginally filed, is set out in Public Service Company of New dampshire (Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2), LBP-82-76, 16 l NRC 1029, 1050 (1982).

4 effort NECNP introduced NECNP Exhibit 4, which is Electrical Equipment Qualification File No. 113-19-01. At the time NECNP offered its Exhibit 4, and a number of other multi-document exhibits, a colloquy of some length occurred with respect to the purpose of the offer and, in particular, whether the documents were being offered for the truth of the matters contained.5 During this colloquy, NECNP made the following representation as to the purpose of the offer:
"I am offerina these documents for the truth of the matter asserted thetnin, but I also believe that in some instances they did impeach the testimony of the witnesses. They are not utterly for the purpose of impeaching the witnesses.
They are also for the purpose of fleshing out the basis upon which these representations are made regarding the qualification of the equipment. I think they are very relevant to the contention." (Emphasis added).6 On the basis of this statement as to the purpose of the offer, the-Applicants stated that there was no objection to, inter alia, NECNP Exhibit 4,7 and the Exhibit was admitted.8 Included in the documents contained in NECNP Exhibit'4 was a letter dated February 11, 1983 from ITT Suprenaut Division (Joel T. Sibly) to United Engineers and Constructors (George Morris), stating that on the basis of tests performed on RG-S Ir. (9/30/86) at 460-73.

o 59 cable the vendor was confident that RG-58 cable was qualified.9 Also included in NECNP Exhibit 4 was a memorandum, dated October 10, 1985, which purports to describe how cables may be identified as being. required to perform a safety function.10 In a Partial Initial Decision issued on March 25, 1987,11 the Licensing Board found that RG-58 Cable had been adequately qualified on the basis of the February 11, 1983 letter described above and other materials in Exhibit 4.12 NECNP appealed this finding arguing, in essence, that the documentation which it had introduced for the truth of the matters contained should not be believed and could not and should not be relied upon by the Licensing Board.13 In response, the Applicants pointed out in their brief that the evidence relied upon by the Licensing Board had been introduced without restriction by NECNP itself,14 and argued 9NECNP Ex. 4 Ref. 4.

I that in any event the entire subject was well beyond the contention which had been admitted.15 This Appeal Board issued a decision on October 1, 1987 in which it, inter alia, reversed the Licensing Board on the RG-58 Cable issue.16 In so doing, this Appeal Board never addressed the Applicants' argument that the contention, as filed and admitted, did not encompass the issue. Rather, this Appeal Board simply stated in passing:
" . . . as litigated, the contention focused upon the capability of equipment subject to GDC 4 to continue to perform its intended function for such period after the accident as might be necessary i.e., whether the equipment is
' environmentally qualified.'"17 The reversal was based upon the Appeal Board's agreement with NECNP that the February 11, 1983 memorandum was insufficient to establish environmental qualification of the RG-58 Cable.18 However, this Appeal Board never addressed the question of how NECNP could be heard to attack evidence which it itself offered for the truth of the matters contained.

This Appeal Board described the remand as follows:
" . . . the segment of the environmental qualification issue concerned with the RGS8 cable must be returned to the Licensing Board. If unable to point to anything in the existing record that establishes that the differences in the two cables are unimportant for present purposes, the Board is to reopen the record for a further exploration of the question whether RG59 cable test results can serve the foundation for tho environmental cualification of the RG58 cable." (Emphasis added)19 In response to this remand, the Licensing Board issued an unpublished "Memorandum to the Acceal Board" on October 16, 1988. Therein, the Licensing Board gave a technical explanation based upon materials in the record as to why it believed that had the RG-58 cable been tested, it would have revealed results "similar to those obtained for Cable RG-59, which were acceptable.n20 On January 8, 1988, after receiving comments from the Applicants, NECNP and the Staff, this Appeal Board issued a decision rejecting the Licensing Board's analysis.21 However, this Appeal Board also took note of the fact that in their filings with the Appeal Board, the Applicants had raised a new argument, not previously passed upon by the Licensing Board.22 The argument, as 1926 NRC at 271.

\
described by this Appeal Board was to the effect that since there was no dispute that the "high potential" test of RG-58 Cable would_likely have produced results similar to that produced by such a test of RG-59, this meant the RG-58 was qualified. This was so, Applicants argued because RG-58 cable need only retain its integrity to the extent necessary to avoid compromising the fulfillment of safety functions by other components. Noting that this argument had never been presented to the Licensing Board, this Appeal Board remanded the matter to the Licensing Board to give it an opportunity to do so, noting that if the argument was rejected this Appeal Board's rejection of the previous reasoning of the Licensing Board:
" . . . will necessitate a reopening of the record to pursue further the question whether RG59 cable test results ca,n serve as the foundation for the environmgntal analification of the RG58 cable."
(Emphasis added).23 On March 2, 1988, the Licensing Board issued a decision upholding the Applicants' argument.24 In so doing it relied, inter alia, upon the October 8, 1985 memorandum described 23 27 NRC at l 5_.
l 24 Memorandum to the ADoeal Board on Environmental Oualification of Coaxial Cable RG-58 (unpublished) (March 2, 1988).

. s earlier.25 With respect to that memorandum, the Licensing Board observed: _,
"NECNP's arguments against the Applicants' response are, in effect, that documents in the Applicants' environmental qualification file do not provide an evidentiary basis for determining the truth of the matters contained therein. . . .
"In addition to the fact that the document in question, EQF 113-19-01, was offered and admitted into evidence without limitations as NECNP Exhibit 4 (see Tr. 460), the Applicants' witness, in responding to cross examination by NECNP's counsel, testified that the purpose of the (EQF) files is to keep a verifiable record that the equipment is indeed qualified for the environment to which it might be subjected in an accident. (citation omitted). . . . That the entries in the'various documents are brief, or that the size of the purchase order is for 60,000 feet (11.36 miles),
does not detract from their probative value. They are cart of the record ir trodugged by NECNP and not challenced by NECMP durina their cross examination."
(Emphasis added).zb on April 25, 1988, this Appeal Board again reversed.27 This Appeal Board upheld NECNP's argument that the documentation relied upon by the Licensing Board was in error 25 See n.10, supra, and accompanying text.
26 Memorandum to Acceal Board on Environmental Qualification of Coaxial Cable RG-58 (unpublished) (March 2, 1988) at 6-7. Indeed, as noted earlier, the documents were, in fact, expressly offered by NECNP for the "truth of the matter asserted therein." Egg n.6, supra, and accompanying i

in attaching any weight to the October 10, 1985 memorandum
'without it being sponsored by a competent witness.28 Again this was done with no mention of the fact that, or analysis as to why it made no difference that, the document was offered by NECNP, itself, expressly for the truth of the matters asserted.29 This Appeal Board concluded its decision by stating that for the reasons expressed therein, the Partial Initial Decision rendered March 25, 1987 was:
" . . . reversed to the extent that it found that the environmental qualification of the RG58 coaxial cable had been established. That issue is renanded to the Licensing Board for furthet proceedings consistent with this decision.n30 After the last remand, the Applicants made a decision to moot the entire issue by removing all of the RG-58 cable that was required to be environmentally qualified and replace it with RG-59, the qualification of which was not at issue.
After that decision was made, the Applicants filed a "Suggestion of Mootness" with supporting affidavits.31 The thrust of this filing was to show that there were only 12 RG-58 cables in the facility which had to be environmentally qualified under the regulations, that a management decision 28 ALAB-891, Slip Op. at 19-22.

had been made to replace these with RG-59 cable and that therefore the issue of the environmental qualification of RG-e 58 cable was moot.32 On June 2, 1988, the Staff filed a reply to the Applicants' Suggestion of Mootness.33 This reply seemed to raise no quarrel with either the legal theory or the facts as stated in the Suggestion; however, the Staff did' fault the Applicants for not giving sufficient detail with respect to certain of the matters dealt with in the affidavits. The Staff suggested a course of action which in essence amounted to the treatment of the Suggestion of Mootness as a motion for summary disposition and advocated giving itself and NECNP sufficient time to reply to the suggestion in that framework.34 On June 9, 1988, NECNP replied to the 32 On May 27, 1988, the Applicants filed a correction tv

34The Staff has persisted in its view that what is involved here is a summary disposition motion. This is a correct view, only if one prejudges the question of whether the Licensing Board has jurisdiction and authority to delve
! into the questions of whether the correct cables were l replaced and whether the replacement cable is the appropriate one. The thrust of the Applicants' position however, as set I
forth in Section II of the Argument, infra, is that there exists no jurisdiction or authority to reach these questions, l or, if there is, the proper and necessary procedures have not I

Suggestion of Mootness.35 The gravamen of this filing is a list of questions contained therein which NECNP claims must be resolved prior to this matter being put to rest.36 og note is the fact that in the long list of questions dealing with such matters as how the Applicants determined which RG-58 cables had to be qualified, and whether RG-59 is qualified to replace RG-58, nowhere is there a question, "Is RG-58 environmentally qualified?"; the only issue that was remanded to the Licensing Board.
On June 9, 1988, the Applicants requested,37 and, on June 10, 1988, were granted,38 leave to reply to the Staff and NECNP filings. On June 17, 1988 the reply was filed.39 Inter alla, the reply pointed out:

4 g and the sole issue which NECNP properly may litigate. Applicants have mcoted that issue by agreeing to remove all RG-58 coaxial cable presently required to meet the environmental qualification requirements of 10 CFR 50.49. There is no contention in this case, and never has been,that Applicants were not capable of selecting what components have to be environmentally qualified. Indeed, there has never been a contention that the Seabrook organization was not fully technically qualified.n40 On June 23, 1988, a telephone conference was held.41 Again NECNP argued its concerns, all of which were of the same nature as outlined in their written reply, 1.g.
questions going to the Applicants' technical ability to determine which cables needed to be qualified and their ability to select proper replacement cable.42 The Staff adhered to its position that this was basically a matter for summary disposition, stating that on the basis of what had been filed, it was new the Staff's position, subject to further study, that:
"[T]he record contains all the information necessary for the Board to issue a determination favorable to the applicants or this remanded contention.n43 Applicants reiterated the jurisdictional argument alluded to 40Accendix 6 at 5.

above.44 After deliberation, the Licensing Board then issued the order at bar45 .Jhich rejected the suggestion of mootness and opened discovery and placed the matter on a track where resolution, even by way of summary disposition, will be impotisible prior to October of this year.46 The Licensing Board also refused to certify the questions presented by this Appeal and Petition to this Appeal Board.47 As articulated by the Licensing Board, the issues to be tried are whether Applicants have selected the correct cables to be replaced, and whether RG-59 is an acceptable substitute.48 It is in the foregoing posture that this matter comes before this Appeal Board.
ARGUMENT I. The Appeal Board Should Address the Appeal.
A. There Exists an Acceal as of_Richt in the Circumstances of this Case.
As appears from the statement of facts, the order at bar amounts to an order granting the admission of new contentions directed at the technical qualifications of the Applicants.
That is to say the original remanded issue of whether or not 44Accendix 1 at 1169-73; 1174-75 45ADoendix 1 at 1177-79.

' that it would not be issuing any further formal order.

i I
l RG-58 cable is, in fact, environmentally qualified is gone.
What is to be litigated is whether or not the Applicants know how to find the correct cables and select a proper substitute. The posture of this case is no different than if NECNP had filed a'new set of contentions and they had been allowed by the Board. For the reasons set forth in Section II hereof, it is the Applicants contention that none of these new contentions should be admitted for litigation. Thus the Applicants are entitled to an appeal of right under 10 CFR 52.714a. If the Applicants prevail in this Appeal, this will bring this discrete matter to a close. In such circumstances, where the contention to be litigated is wholly changed by the Licensing Board, an appeal of right should be held to lie.
B. In any_ Events Directed Certification Should Be Granted .
The general rule as to directed certification is that normally it is not granted except:
"where the ruling telow either (1) threatened the party adversely affected by it with immediate and serious irreparable impact which, as a practical matter, could not be alleviated by later appeal or (2) affected the basic structure of the proceeding in a pervasive or unusual manner."49 In addition, while not dispositive of the issue, an order 49Public Service Comoany of Indiana (Marble Hill Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-405, 5 NRC 1190, 1192 (1977).
14
I 4
which must be reviewed promptly or not at all is a fit candidate for directed certification.50 As argued below, the order at bar has resulted in a proceeding, or discrete I portion thereof, not being wholly terminated when it should have been. As such, ic does not merely affect the structure of a proceeding, it creates it. In addition, if there is no review granted now, the legal issues of jurisdiction, violation of the sua sconte rules, ar.d violation of 10 CFR J2.734 (reopening) raised by this filing will never be reviewed. The substantive issues will have been tried as ordered by the Licensing Board, and the issue of whether they 3 should have been tried will be moot and of academic interest only. If the legal position of the Applicants is correct, and we believe it is, it is only by immediate review of the order at bar that the position can be vindicated.
II. The Order Should be Reversco on the Merits A. The Licensina Board is Without J_gIlsdiction to Entertain the
_ Conte 11tio0.7 now Contemolated for L(tigation It is fundamental to NRC jurisprudence that a Licensing Board which receives a matter back on remand has jurisdiction only over those particular issues remanded to it.51 A3 is 50ger Kansas Gas & Electric Co.

15 t
. 1 clear from the Statement of the case above, the only issue which was remanded to the Licensing Board was the issue of whether RG-58 cable was in fact environmentally qualified.
This is clear from the various statements or renand quoted above.52 By their~ filing, and subsequent replacement of the RG-58 cables of concern,53 the Applicants have mooted that issue. The Licensing Board was given no writ to explore the Applicants' ability to find cables or select replacements.
No one ever contended in this case that these Applicants were incapable of performing such tasks. Thus in putting to hearing these issues, the Licensing Board has exceeded its jurisdiction on remand.
B. J'he Order of the Licensina Board Violates the Sua Soonte Ruleg.
It may be argued that the Licensing Board. in issuing the order was, in essence, raising these issues of the ,
Applicants ability to locate and replace cable gua ED2Dia.
However, such an argument is without merit. To begin with, the Licensing Board, if, indeed, it intended to act nun sconte, has failed to follow the procedure of advising the Office of the General Counsel as it is required to do.54 Prescinding from this procedural problem, the fact is that 52 Suora, pp.6, 7, 9.

't
'e i
'e there could be no exercise of gua sconte authority in this setting, because the necessary prerequisite of a serious safety question 55 simply is not present. The affidavits show a the methodology that was used to select the cables to be replaced, and, indeed the Staff has indicated preliminarily that they find the materials adequate. More importantly, in
- deciding whether to raise an issue una sconte an NRC tribunal may, and should, take into account the efficacy.of Staff
, review with respect to the matter.56 The issues of whether all the right cables have been replaced and whether the cable used to replace them is appropriate are issues wholly .
objective in nature to be judged by objective standards; as such, they are classically issues properly left to Staff resolution.57 In short, there can be no justification under the sua gronte rules for what has taken place here.
C. Ihe Order Violates the Rulep Governina the Reoceninq_qi Closed Issues.
As indicated above, the hearing that the Licensing Board contemplates holding will be a hearing on the technical 55 10 CFR 52.760a 56 Egg Cincinnati Gas and Electric Co. (Willi.nm H.

y qualifications of the Applicants, 1.g., their ability to select cables for replacement and their ability to select a' competent replacement cable. The technical qualifications of the Applicants to construct Seabrook Station was litigated and resolved in the Applicants' favor in the Construction Permit phase of the Seabrook proceeding.58 No technical qualifications issue was ever raised in the operating license proceeding. The technical qualifications of the Applicants were found adequate by the Director, NRR, acting for the Commission when the presently outstanding operating license was issued.
It is highly questionable whether the Licensing Board would even have jurisdiction at this point to open the issue of technical qualifications.59 But in any event, no proper motion has been filed and no attempt hac been made by anyone to satisfy the requirements of the Rulus of Practice regarding reopening.60 CONCLUSXQH The instant order exceeds the jurisdiction of the Licensing Board; it violates the sua sconte rules of the Commission; it constitutes an improper reopening of an issue 58 Public Service Cpmoany of New Hampshire (Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2), 3 NRC 857, S66-67 (1976) 59 Houston Liahtina & Power Co.
