Wo move that:

(1)

The Board issue reformulated conten':fons on Commission questions 3 and 4 by November 15, 1982.

b The decision to delay reformulation of contentions on Commission questions 3 b and 4 is unsound. g Emergency planning is the bottom line safety measure for people in the affected area.

t serve them.

To date, such acceptable capability has not been shown. - '

1 If any emeygency plan can be made to work, witnesses called.by PAREhTS and cther intervenors are the ones who can do it. The changes, if any, of the testimony of our witnesses frna the time it was submitted until the time they are called to the stand will be a true measure of the status of emergency planning, and the degree to which plann1ng conforms to . preparedness. These people should be heard before other issues in the hearings are addressed.

Otherwise serious defects will go uncorrected. o The Board order of October 1' misses a crucial point regarding contention 6.2.

If this contention is eliminated, PARENTS will be denied an opportunity to compare radiation releases at Indian Point with releases at other nuclear power plants, ocpecially as a function of deys in aperation and population density. Radiation is THE issue for PARENT!

.s certainly one of the most serious environmental offects of Indian Point.

It may well be that radiation releases at Indian Point pose a greater health risk because of the greater number of children living near these plants.

I hereby certify that copies of PARENTST '

I socion have been mailed to the attached '
