1 ORDER RELATIVE TO MOTHERS FOR PEACE MOTION FOR A.STOP ORDER'AND MOTION .

TO ; COMPEL AND ' PGandE's REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME FOR RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL INTERROGATORIES

1. On October 14, 1974, Mothers for peace filed a 1

motion for the imposition of a stop work order on the bases '

of inadequate consideration of seismic environment and j i

PGandE's failure to conduct a timely investigation of soismic problems. pGandE and the Regulatory Staff cppose the Motion--

citing the Board's Order of April 3,1974, rolative to a similar pleading filed by Scenic Shoreline preservation Conference. The Board stated the following in its Order: l "1. Continued construction of the plant poses no risk to the health and safety of the public, regardless of any geological problems which might- i exist. Operation of the plant is, of course, quite a different matter. The Board thus feels' that consideration of seismic issues is properly carried out in the. operating license' procedure.

2. Argument that the: incremental cost.of con-tinued construction' could have an effect upon the .;

eventual granting of an operating license is, ,

from' a health and safety standpoint,- invalid. j f:

R o' .

Economic factors cannot be considered in any matter which involves a risk to the.public  ;

health and safety.

3.- Continued construction will neither conceal-nor render inaccessible any of the geological features of the. site not already affected." l The matter of seismic-issues will be considered at the 1 operating license proceeding. .The Board expects pGandE and j l

the Staff to be prepared to present considerable evidence l 1

on this issue and most certainly encourages all Interveners  !

who have relevant contentions to go forward with their proof i

in this area. The public interest will be fully protected at the operating license proceeding. The motion is, there-1 fore, denied.

l On September 3,1974, the Mothers for peace sub'- j 2.

1 mitted a set of interrogatories to PGandE. The response was made by pGandE on October 4,1974. On October 14, 1974, the Mothers for Peace filed a Motion to Compel Discovery relating to Interrogatories Nos. 4, 57, 58,-15A and 63.

On October 23,.1974, pGandE filed a document opposing the ,

motion. The Board agrees with the position as stated by PGandE'on each interrogatory and, therefore, denies the i

motion.

.' (

3. On October 25, 1974, PGandE requested an extension of time from October 31 to November 8, 1974, to respond to additional interrogatories from the Mothers for Peace. The

. motion ' stated good cause for the request and is, - therefore, granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
