(St. Lucie Plant, Unit 1) )

) ASLBP No.: 88-560-01-LA LICENSEE'S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES TO INTERVENOR Florida Power and Light Company (Licensee) he-eby serves its first set of interrogatories to Campbell Rich (Intervenor) pursuant to 10 C.F.R. S 2.740b. Each interrogatory is to be answered separately, fully, in writing, and under oath or affir-nation within 14 days after service. Each answer should clearly indicate the interrogatory to which it responds.

The interrogatories are divided into two sections. Section I consists of five general interrogatories which should be an- H suered for each and every contention admitted by the Board in this proceeding. Section II consists of interrogatories that are specific to particular contentions.

I. GENERAL INTERROGATORIES (to be answered for each and every admitted contention):

l A. State whether Intervenor intends to call any person l

or persons as witnesses, including expert witnesses, in this I

proceeding in support of each contention and, if so, identify any and all such persons giving the name, address and professional qualifications of each.

B. Provi.de summaries of the views, positions, or proposed testimony on each contention of all persons identified in response to interrogatory I.A. that Intervenor intends to present during this proceeding.

C. Identify all documents, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses and calculations that Intervenor intends to employ or rely upon in presenting his direct case on each contention.

D. Identify all documents, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses, and calculations that Intervenor intends to employ or rely upon in conducting cross examination of NRC Staff and/or Licensee witnesses testifying in connection with each contention.

E. If the representations made in any contention or in the bases for any contention are Lased in whole or in part on Intervenor's belief that certain docaments, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses or calculations, including but not limited to those prepared by the Licensee or the NRC Staff, are deficient, identify the documents, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses or calculations, and identify any particular portions thereof Intervenor regards as deficient; explain the way they are defi-cient, and identify all documents, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses, calculations or expert opinions relied upon by Inter-i venor that provide support for Intervenor's claim that a defi- l ciency exists.

II. SPECIFIC INTERROGATORIES:

A. Admitted Contention 1 (originally Amended Petition Contention 3):

1. Identify the specific regulatory criteria of 10 C.F.R. Part 100 that Intervenor claims will be exceeded as a result of a cask drop accident at the St. Lucie 1 spent fuel pool.
2. Specify how, why, and in what manner the relevant portions of 10 C.F.R. Part 100, identified above, would be ex-ceeded.
3. Specify how, why, and in what manner the calcula-tion of radiological consequences from a cask drop accident is not conservative including
a. precisely what uncertainties have not been bounded, why these uncertainties must be bounded, and how these uncertainties have not been properly bounded;
b. what Intervenor means in the bases' reference to "uncertainty in the accident progression (fuel temperature after clad oxidation and fuel relocation occurs) and the uncer-tainty in fission product decontamination" and why it is necessary to consider such uncertainties; l
c. precisely what regulatory requirements and/or guidance, if any, Intervenor believes were not complied with in performing the calculation, why compliance was necessary, l

and why the calculation failed to meet the regulatory require-l 1

ments and/or guidance, ,

d. precisely what_ assumptions were not conser-vative, and how and why those assumptions were not conservative, with particular reference but not limited to assumptions concern-ing accident progression.
4. Identify any and all documents, books, reports,

! papers, studies, analyses, calculations, or expert opinions which Intervenor claims provide support for this contention.

B. Admitted Contention 2-(originally Amended Petition Contention 4):

l. Identify those accidents'which Intervenor believes are "similar in nature and effect" to a cask drop accident and state how and why they are similar.
2. Specify how, why, and in what manner the-presence of the temporary construction crane inside the fuel handling building to facilitate the reracking could' increase the.conse-quences of "a cask drop accident or an accident similar in nature and effect."
3. Specify how, why, and in what manner the presence of the temporary crane would contribute "to the potential for a heavy load drop in the pool" and "inhibit the ability of the existing cranes to operate, if needed, in any recovery action."
4. Identify the specific regulatory criteria of 10 C.F.R. Part 100 that Intervenor claims will-be exceeded as a result of a cask drop accident at the St. Lucie 1 spent fuel pool, if any.

response to interrogatory II.B.4, above, would be exceeded.

6. Specify in what manner, if any, the calculation of radiological consequences from "a cask drop accident.or an accident similar in nature and effect" involving the temporary construction crane is not conservative.
7. Identify any and all documents, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses, calculations, or expert opinions which Intervenor claims provide support for this contention.

C. Admitted Contention 3 (originally-7. mended Petition Contention 6):

1. Does Intervenor contend that the NRC Staff in its Safety Evaluation has not adequately analyzed, calculated or otherwise considered the "materials deterioration or failure in materials integrity" of the spent fuel pool, part of the spent fuel pool or fuel cladding? If so, identify the specific sec-i tions of the Safety Evaluation that Intervenor contends are de- y l

ficient and explain why and how these sections are deficient '

i with specific reference to increased exposure to heat and radia-tion.

2. Does Intervenor contend that Licensee in its Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 1 (SAR), has not adequately analyzed, cal-culated or otherwise considered the "msterials deterioration or failure in materials integrity" of the spent fuel pool, part of the spent fuel pool or fuel cladding? If so, identify the 1

3. Identify any and all documents, books, reports, papers, studies, analyses, calculations, or expert opinions which Intervenor claims provide support for this contention.

D. Admitted Contention 4 (originally Amended Petition Contention 8):

1. Identify how "higher heat loads and increases in water temperature . . . could cause a loss-of-cooling acci- 7 dent."
2. Identify the systems the "reliability or testibil-ity" of which will be "challenge [d)" due to "higher heat loads ,.

and increases in water temperature" and explain how and why they will be challenged.

3. Identify the "numerous documents" where the NRC Staff has stated that the "water in spent fuel pools would nor-mally be kept below 122 degrees P."
4. Identify the specific sections in the documents referred to in the answer to interrogatory II.D.3. where the NRC Staff has made the statement regarding the 122 degrees P.
5. Identify the documents and specific sections there-in where it is stated that "after the reracking, the temperature of the water would rise to 152 degrees F on a normal basis, and could reach 182 degrees F with a full core load."

increased, and how and why the requirements will be violated. ,

2. Explain precisely how and why the "increase in ,

spent fuel capacity" will "increase the probability that a crit-icality accident will occur in the spent fuel pool."

3. Explain precisely how "increase in spent fuel j l

capacity" will "exceed 10 C.F.R. Part 50, A 62 criterion. ,

4. Identify the specific limitations of 10 C.F.R. .
