1. the date of the estimate,

2. estimate in-service data,

3. estimated plant cost, including initial core, ,

4. estimated AFUDC,

c. the final actual cost of the plant.

Applicant Boston Edison Ccmpany to whom Interrogatory 33 is propounded objects to that part of said interrogatory which seeks information as to Millstone 2, Vermont Yankee and Maine Yankee for reason tnat Boston Edison Ccmpany has no ownership interest in said plants and does not have the information requested relating to said plants.

a. effective date of

1. limited work authorization;

2. construction permit;

b. latest cost estimate update;

c. the current estimates of percentage of plant completed, of in-service date, and of total expenditures to date.

Applicant Ecston Edison Company to whcr Interrogatory 34 is prcpounde:i obj ects to said interrcgatcry fcr reason that Bos:c. Edison has no cwnership interest in Se2trcck 1 and 2 and

'Illls t o ne 3 and does not have the information requested by said interr^c'tcry relatir- tc the cubfact -lart-

35. Please supply the following information for each existing nuclear plant in New England for each year cf its life:

a. total operating and maintenance expense (O+M);

b. 0+M per MW;

c. C+M per net MWH generated; and

d. additions to capital cost, as total dollar amount and as % of initial construction cost.

Applicant Boston Edicon Company to whon Interrogatory 15 is propounded objects to Interrogatory 35Cd) insofar as said interrogatory seeks information with respect to New England nuclear plants in which Boston Edison Company has no ownership interest and as to which it does not have the information requested.

Interrogatory 39.

39. Please provide, for Pilgrim II commercial operation of 12/85/, 12/88, 12/91, and 12/94, the capital-related costs which BECO (as opposed to its custc=ers) would expect to incur in each year 1979 to 2020, in connection with Pilgrim II. Please list separately construction costs (as incurred),

Operating and Maintenance expenses, property taxes, and nuclear fuel purchases.

Applicant Boston Edison objects to so much of Inter-rogatory 39 as calls upon Boston Edison to provide for hypo-thetical ccnmercial operation dates of 12/91 and 12/93, certain capital-related costs, operati g and maintenance costs, and f;el purchaces .ehic h E a s t cr.

each year 1979 to 2CIO. Boston Edison does not now have in its possession the inf,'rmation which is requested. In order to provide the inform.ition, Boston Edison at great expense and time would have to undertake separate studies and evalua-tions of no utility to it. Boston Edison will provide the information requested by the interrogatory for commercial dates of 12/85 and 12/83 but requests that a protective order issue to protect it from the undue burden and expense of conducting studies and evaluation with respect to other commercial dates viz: December 1991 and 1994 Interrogatory 40.

40. Please provide recalculations of the " Fuel" tables of Ex. NP -3 7 , SP-39, and NP-41, assuming Pilgrim II actually achieves the same capacity factor in each year of operation that Pilgrim I achieved in the corresponding calendar year of operation.

Applicant Boston Edison Conpany objects to Inter-rogatory 40 fcr reason that it has not now in its possessicn calculations of the " Fuel" tables of Exhibits NP-37, NP-39 and NP 41 which assune Pilgrim 2 achieves capacity factors corresponding to those achieved by Pilgrim 1 in each calendar year of operation. In order to put itself in a position to p cvide the information requested, 3:ston Ediscr iculd have to undertake a recalculation Of three exhibits for each of F 0.

vf 7! Li'

Seven years Pilgrir 1 has been in operation, all at great expense and burden to it, and for no apparent purpose other than to provide the intervenors with a hypothetical postu-lated argument. It is requested that a protective order issue protecting Ecston Edison from the preparation of and the burden of carrying out the recalculations sought by said interrogatory.

Interrogatory 41.

41. Please provide the following documentation for "the Company's production cost program" and its application:
