UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Docket Nos.: 50-460 and 50-513 AU3.121975 J. Gallo, Chief Hearing Counsel, Office of Executive Legal Director MANAGEMENT ACTION ON WNP-1,4 DOCKET This memo is to request your effort in establishing,a rad. safety hearing date for this docket as soon after 9/1/75 as possible, but in any case soon enough that an ASL3 partial decision or order permitting additional LWA-2 work can be issued before 11/1/75. On 11/1/75, Applicant will have completed all work authorized under the LWA-1 and LWA-2_ issued on 8/1/75.-
The radiological safety review is complete, except for two remaining outstanding safety issues (not including the Appendix I evaluation) which are expected to be resolved and documented by 9/2/75. These issues are the ECCS final evaluatio'n and evaluation of an ERDA/WPPSS agreement covering Applicant authority to control exclusion area activities.
Current staff schedules for Appendix I resolution 1./
predict completion no earlier than 11/4/75, a full two months after all other rad. safety issues are closed.
It is my understanding that additional LWA-2 work beyond that already authorized will require the ASLB to convene a hearing.
If a hearing is not convened until the Appendix I evaluation is complete, we could not respond to the Applicant's need for additional work authorization by 11/1/75.
I recognize that a' full rad. safety hearing held in September may require that the hearing record be held open to achieve final disposition of the Appendix I matter. However, all of the rad. safety review except. Appendix I could be aired in September and on the basis of that examination the Board could be asked to authorize additional safety-related work as described in.10 CFR 50.10 (e)(3). This effort can be expected to result in the desired authorization by the time it is needed, by 11/1/75. It clso would avert the two month suspension of construction activities that would obtain if we simply wait for the Appendix I matter to be concluded on the schedule new forecast before going to hearing.
F s+
.The WNP-1,4 facility is a " golden plant".2./.
This action to maintain the current momentum of the licensing process is, in my view, reasonable and justified in this case.
In addition to the direct benefit to the Applicant and const=er public in eliminating an avoidable construction suspension, there is the recognized benefit of expeditiously co=pleting a licensing action soon af ter the actual technical review of Applicant's submittals is complete.
