ASLBP No. 99-762-02-LA APPLICANT'S RESPONSE TO BCOC'S MOTION TO RELOCATE PREHEARING CONFERENCE Applicant Carolina Power & Light Company (" Applicant" or "CP&L") hereby submits its response to petitioner Board of Commissioners of Orange County, North Carolina's ("BCOC") " Motion to Relocate Prehearing Conference" (" Mot. Rel.") dated March 9,1999. In its motion, BCOC requests the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

(" Board") to relocate the prehearing conference from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's offices in Rockville, Maryland to a site in the vicinity of the Harris Nuclear Plant ("HNP"). BCOC offered two potential locations for the prehearing conference during the week of May 10,1999: the Old Courthouse in Hillsborough, and the Orange County Southern Human Savices Building in Chapel Hill. Both facilities are located in Orange County, North Carolina, and HNP is located in adjoining Wake County, North Carolina.

Applicant supports BCOC's request to relocate the prehearing conference to a site 1

in the vicinity of HNP.' CP&L believes that members of the public who wish to view the prehearing conference should be afforded an opportunity to do so. Relocating the prehearing conference to a site in the vicinity of HNP will afford both members of the public as well as representatives and employees of CP&L a readily available opportunity 1

to observe the prehearing conference.

l In the event the Board's schedule does not permit accommodation of BCOC's Motion to Relocate, in the alternative, Applicant suggests that arrangements be made for j

a videoconference of the prehearing conferenc: by connecting one or more of the locations recommended by BCOC or other locations in the vicinity of HNP. Applicant is aware that videoconferencing has been used successfully in other agency proceedings to provide the public with a first-hand view of the proceeding.

i Applicant requests that the prehearing conference, if relocated, be held on May 13,1999. This date will permit senior representatives of CP&L to attend the proceeding who otherwise would be unable to attend because of previous commitments and conflicts prior to that date.

1. CP&L has shown, and will continue t, show in this proceeding, that spent fuel storage at ilNP is consistent with the health and welfare of the citizens living in the vicinity of HNP. In fact, the NRC itself has recently recched the same conclusion, determining that storage of old spent fuel has " greatly reduced off-site radiological consequences" and, from a public health and safety standpoint, requires no off-site emergency planning at all.

r Applicant has discussed this request with counsel for t 1COC and the NRC staff.

Neither has any objection to Applicant's request that the prehearing conference, if relocated, be held on May 13,1999.

Applicant prefers that the prehearing conference, if relocated, be held at the Old Courthouse in Hillsborough, North Carolina. As a courthouse, the Old Courthouse will I

provide the appropriate logistics and decorum to host an adjudicatory proceeding of this nature. Counsel for CP&L has discussed this request to use the Old Courthouse with counsel for BCOC and the NRC staff. Neither BCOC nor the NRC staff have any objection to this request, and counsel for BCOC has determined that the Old Courthouse is available to hold the prehearing conference on May 13,1999.
