$C4hh Ection to Consolidate Hearings en Radon Intervenors in the dockets listed above move the Appeal 3 card to consolidate their cases in a single hearing on the ratters raised by the intervunors in their answers to AIAB-hc0 (the radon issue). This motion is brought under 10 CFR 2 716.

All of the intervenors have filed answers to AIAB-h80 asking that further svidence be presented on the impacts of radon beyond the record established in Perkir..s. "la believe that jn:tice nd the eenvenience of all parties would best he served by holcing a consolidated hearing.

The issue in contr:rtersy hers -the significance cf raden emissions from the uranium fuel cycle -is generic. Most of the evidence that could be present54 on this issue will apply to all nuclear reactors. It ra :es sense, therefore, tc develop a reccrd suppletantin6 Ferkins in a consolidated proceeding. Separate hesrings that would rasult in substantially sicdisr records would be a was te of everyoneis time and re s ources.

, The Board's acticn in AIA3 L80 randsting that the Perkins record be used as a

" base" care has presented us with a g facto consolidation. This is the n: sin reason that intervenors who previously opposed consclidation have changed their position.

e. . g Since we already have e cc:ston record on radon in Perkins, it is un17 fair to cantinue that way.

Holding separate hearings under these circur. stances is a piecemeal approach that would give an autoratic disadvantage to the parties first in line for a hearing.

The ? card itself is moving in the direction of censolidation in this second phase of tha radon proceedings. Te understand that the Board has deferred raking a final decision in sore cases where there was no request for further radon hearings, so that it can have the benefit of a record in a contested hearing beyond Ferkins .

We prcpose a consolicated proceec'ing as follows:

1. Evidentiary hearings before the Appeal Board with intervenors, applicants and staff jointly represented. Witnesses wculd be presenttd and cross exal::ination conducted by a single representative for each side s intervenors, applicants and staff. Site specific inforration could be presented by individual parties.

2. Generic proposed findings to be offered in r,atters corn::en to all applications, with an opportunity to offer specific findings in each docket on site specific matters.

3. Scope of the hearings to cover issues raised by parties answering AIAB LEO.

For the purpose of filing this :rotion, the intervencrs have ' agreed to be popresented by Ecology Action of Cswego.
