I discovery of admissible evidence and so vague es to preclude a responsive answer relevant to these

proceedings. The interrogatory is further. objected to -

on the grounds of attorney-client privilege and work

product. The interrogatory seeks to have TON identify

in detail every action it uould take to meet an emergency at Seabrook Station without specifying in any i

mann -

the nature, extent or scope of such an emergency. TON has maintained that it will use its 3

best efforts to protect its inhabitants and others ,

i

, within its boundaries. Ton will take whatever actions  ;

are deemed most appropriate to meet that goal given the resources available at such a time. TON is unable to <

more completely answer the interrogatory without 1

I l knowing tha nature of the "emergency" the interrogatory 4 is intenried to refer to. I i

TON incorporates herein the objections and observations -

of the Massachusetts Attorney General L..d the town of

( Anesbury to this interrogatory.

INTERROGATORY:

of admissible evidence, vague, overly broad and argumentative. floreover, the interrogatory appears to seek information protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. (Iithout waiving these objections, TON has donc nothing to "block, l hinder or delay the licensing of Seabrook Station" unless Applicant concludes that following the law and l

applicait - legal' procedures may be so characterizc"  ;

I NTERROG A'. RY:

{

include, but not be limited to, documents that reflect or refer to whether the SPt1C or any other plan for dealing with a radiological emergency at Seabrook Station has or has not been, or will or will not be, l used in planning for energency situations other than l those involving Seabrook Station.

(a) Insofar as TON knows, the facts underlying each assertion are contained in the contentions and bases filed by TON and admitted for litigation by the Atomic Safety Licensing Board in this proceeding.

(b) TON's answer to Intorrogatory 6(b) is limited to the sources of the facts in the contentions drafted by Toll. Those facts wore drawn from information contained in the SPMC or discovered through investigation by TON's counsel in this proceed!ng, the only exception being that the source of the fact that Downfall Road is a "paper street" was the individual signing those answers to interrogatories.

(c) TON has not chosen any expert witnesso1.
