APPLICANTS' INTERROGATORIES AND REQITEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS TO ALL INTERVENERS AND PARTICIPATING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CONCERNING JOINT INTERVENOR CONTENTIONS 1-26 Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 55 2.740b and 2.741, Applicants hereby request that the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (" Mass AG"), the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution ("NECNP"), the Seacoast Anti-Pollution League (*SAPL") , the Town of Amesbury ("TOA") , the Town of Newbury (" TON"), the City of Newburyport (* CON"), the Town of Salisbury ("TOS"), the Town of West Newbury (" TOWN"), the City of Haverhill ("COH"), and the Town of Merrimac (" TOM")

I a

following interrogatories, and produce for inspection and copying the documents requested below.

These interrogatories and requests directly address'the .

assertions made by Interveners in Joint Intervanor  !

Contentions 1-26. Since several of the Intervanors have indicated that they intend to litigate only certain Contentions, those Intervanors need not respond to questions concerning those Contentions that they have stated they will not litigate (unless their intentions have changed). Egg infra nn. 1-26.

Mass AG and NECNP, however, have stated that they intend to litigate all contentions, and so should answer all questions. TOA's intentions have apparently changed between September 30, when Mr. Lord stated under oath that TOA only intended to litigate eleven contentions, and October 6, when TOA served interrogatories and document requests going to all j

sixty-three contentions. Since TOA has now decided to litigate all Contentions, it should answer all questions.

Finally, TOWN, COH, and TOM have failed or refused to state their intentions, and so should answer all questions.

' The production of the documents requested herein (or copies thereof) shall take place at the offices of Ropes &

Gray, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts, at 10 a.m.
