8 Applicant objects to Intervenor's third motion to ,

11" fully with what it has understood to be the command of the
} 12 Board and has in good faith attempted to co, operate'with the i I i i 13 Intervenor, the NRC Staff and the Board in facilitating the '
14 resolution of the issues in this proceeding.- Applicant has
,
.
. 15 permitted the examination of its records and'has gone to some 16 length to explain the ambiguities in Intervenor's questions l 17 which prevent Applicant from providing further answers.

questions. Intervenor states that Applicant is " strenuously 1/l 2lti " resisting disclosing" information relevant to Intervenor's -

6 tains. In addition, Applicant has just responded to the Conten-
, ,
7 tion II questions contained in Intervenor's.second set of inter-
~
- 8 rogatoriss. In Applicant's response to one of Intervenor's i
9 questions, Applicant has extended the compilation of the May 13,
< . .
1 Ir 1991 document data for the year 1980 and the first four months i
111, of 1981. (Prior to the preparation of the May 13, 1980 document 12 this data had not been compiled in this form.)

- 15 that it was preparing a brief study of the " educational" uses.
I 16 that are made of' the reactor and that this data would be made I 17 available to Intervenor when it is completed. Applicant had i
18, previously offered its general ledgers for all years of reactor ;

19 operations and 'the available supporting finhncial' documentation, ,
20 but Intervenor has chose to avail itself of only part of this 21 data. Applicant has repeated the offer of its general ledgers 22 - in. its second set responses (see " Exhibit A," the document list .

l 8 B. Further Answers
,
9 -
10
- Applicant has explained in its answers of November 14,,
11 1980, its memorandum of December 12, 1980, its further answers :
1 12 of January 22, 1981 and finally in its memo,randum of February _ t I
13 23, 1981 that Intervenor's questions (interrogatories 4, 5, 6 14 and 9) were unclear and ambiguous. Applicant has explained in 15 detail the reasons for the ambiguities and has provided Inter-
.
- 1
'
16 venor with enough suggestions on how Intervenor could restate
'
17 its questions to resolve the ambiguities. Applicant need not 18 repeat those. discussions here, but urges the Board to refer to
~
19 those previous discussions.
-
20 .
-
21 Applicant should not be required to provide answers .
22 .to. interrogatories that are as ambiguous as those propounded by !
i 23 Intervenor. Furthermore, applicant does not believe that the 24 Board's March 10 Order commanded Applicant to redo its answers, i
'
.25 If, in fact, the Board's intent was otherwise, the Applicant *
,
I 26 respectfully submit that the Board's Order was unclear and that '

- 1' Applicant's interpretation was arrived at i.n good faith. Under
, i 2 ! such circumstances it would be unfair to impose the requested 3

12 ,
The Order of the Board stated as follows:
13 14 "That UCLA shall respond to CBG interrogatories with :
15 .
a complete disclosure of all relevant informat. ion." l 16
'
17 Unlike its previous Order (December 22, 1980) the Board did not
,
18 state "The Motion to Compel is . . . GRANTED." Applicant does i

.
22 Intervenor's questions and ordered that Applicant disclose all l 23 of its records and documents in any way relevant to Intervenor's
' '
24 questions. i b t I

I l 2 ! document examination sessions that have occurred by instructing
- I 3 -Intervenor in the proper interpretation of its documents. The .,
.
4 l May 13, 19 80document
'
(reactor port-hours) is simply a classi-5 fication by user of the reactor as is explained in that docu-
,
6 ment. As to any other words, terms., definitions or expressions I 7 which Intervenor needs explained, Intervenor need only specify 8 the context in which each appears and Applicant will explain the 9 usage. What Applicant cannot do without Intervenor providing 10 some additional clarification is respond furth'er to Intervenor's 11 first set interrogatories nos. 4, 5, 6 and 9.
- 12 -
13 C. Specific Objections ,
14 ,
15 Applicant has discussed the kmbiguities in Intervenor's
- 16 questions at length in its previous me.moranda on this matter and I
17 those explanations are incorporated herein by reference. How-i 18 ever, it is worth repeating part of that discussion here to in-193 ! sure that Applicant's position is made clear.
'
20 21 Applicant's objections to Interviewer's questions are i
,
I 3ase'd on the fact that the questions as understood by Applicant f
- ~
! 22 23;.are vague, ambiguous and uncertain. Consider by way of example 24l interrogatory no. 4, which asks for'the definitions of "re-j t
'
25 search", " education", " training" and " sold services." Appli-l 26 cant has urged Intervenor simply to specify the context in which I I

1h; the words appear and Applicant can explain the usage. Inter-2 fvenorhasnotdonesowithrespecttoitsfirstsetofquestions.. .
! '
3 contrast this first set of questions with a similar question,
.
I 41 representing a vast improvement, that Intervenor has included l
'
5 in its second set of interrogatories (question 56 (a) of Con-6 tention II.) That question asks Applicant for its definition 7 of "research" as the word is used by Applicant on page III/I-5
- 8 of the license application. This question represents a restate-9 ment of the first set question and, as restated, Intervenor's 10 question is clear and unambiguous and Applicant has been able 11 to provide a clear response. Intervenor has not thus restated t 12 the question with respect to the other terms and as a result
,
13 Applicant has no idea of where in~ Applicant's records the terms 14 are used. Without knowing the context Applicant cannot provide
~
15 a definition. ,
'
16
.
17 Indeed, to Applicant's knowledge " education", " train-18 lt ing" and " sold services" are not categories or classifications
" -
19 that applicant' regularly uses in reporting any of its' financial' I
20 or operating usage data. Applicant reports reactor operating 21 time in the following categories: clascroom instruction, main
-l 22 tenance and research. Port hours of usage were aggregated for ,
l 23 i the first time in the May 13, 1980 response to the NRC staff's i 1
24 l specific request and the exe'rcise'has been repeated for the 25 period through the first quarter of 1981 to satisfy Intervenor's 26 request made in its second set of interrogatories (see page 23 27 l.

,
I 5 to "research" as that is reported in the operating time tables *
6 although, as Applicant has explained elsewhere, port-hours of l j
.
7 usage cannot be converted simply and directly into operating i 8 time hours of usage.)
9 10 Applicant submits that Intervenor may have come up
<
11 with four terms in question no. 4 in 10 C.F.R. S50.22, where
~12 those same expressions are prominent, and n * ' rom any specific -
>
i 13 hlaceinApplicant'srecords. Intervenor may have assumed that I
!
14 since those terms appear in Section 50.22 that Applicant would
~
,
15 be using the same categor_es to report specific data sets relat-16 ing to Applicant's operations. If so, then Intervenor is simply.
17 mistaken. If not, Intervenor can clear up the confusion by speci-l; 18 fying the place in Applicant's records and documents where

19 Intervenor's " question 4"' terms appear'.

21 Indeed, it appears to Applicant that Intervenor's .

Ir For example, consider further question 5s:

3! "For' each of the years 1960 up to and including 1980 please specify: (a) What percent of the 4l income derived from operating the Reactor was devoted to the sale of services?" (Applicant's
!
5 emphasis.)
6 ;
!
7 As it stands the question makes no' sense. The phrase " devoted-
'
8 to", in the sense of having directed resources towards an object-9 ive, is properly applied to " costs", not " income", which, of 10 course, is the way the term is used in 10 C.F.R. 550.22. The 11 same confusion is apparent in questions Sb, Sc and 6a.
12 _
13 Similar arguments applyL to the other first set ques- ,
i 14 tions and the Board is referred to Applicant's earlier memor- l-1 15 anda where these matters have already been discussed. -l 16

- 17 D. Intervenor's Third Motion to Compel 18
' '
19 'Intervenor's ' third motion to coepel has been pro-4
,
20 pounded without substantial justification. It is not only un-21 clear, but it contains several incorrect and misleading state- i l
'
22 ments. Applicant believes its discussion above is fully dis-23 positive of the legal issues raised by Intervenor's motion.
24 Nevertheless, Applicant feel's compelled to respond to certain ;
4 i 25h specific points.

I
1] In the first ~ place, Intervenor asserts that "two of ,
!
l
.
2 the interrogatories in question (4 and 9) request definitions of ;
3 terms . . . (which) definitions must exist, for Applicant's 4, letter to staff (the May 13, 19'. document) divides reactor I
5 I usage into virtually the categories for which Intervenor has 6 requested definitions . . ." (Intervenor's motion, page 8) .
7 That is simply not correct. None of the " question 4" terms
- l 8 (education, training, research, and sold services) appears as a !
9 category in the May 13, 1980 document. . The terms that, are used 10 in that document are explained sufficiently in that document 11 beginning immediately below the table that lists the . categories.
12 Applicant does not possess any more precise, definitions of 13 those terms. The table is simply a breakdown of port-hour usage ,
!
14 (not operating time, as question 9 requests) into categories of j 15 users cs the NRC staff requested be done. For example, if the
'
16, one whose experiment is being run in the reactor is a professor i
17 of physics at UCLA then his use would be categorized as a "UCLA 18 User" use. Likewise, if the use were that of the ' notorious Dr.
~
'
19 Kalil who is not a "UCLA User" nor a " College and University
'
i 20 User" but instead runs his own business that use would have 21 been categorized as " Commercial" or, as.it will be referred to ,
l 22 . in . the future , "Other Extramural User." There is nothing very i l
23 _
mystical about this classification scheme; indeed, Applicant :
1 '
24 i believes it is rather too obvione..
25 26 Intervenor goes on, contradicting itself (see Inter-- l

2 "these are Applicant's categories, used either in the letter to ,
l 3 ; Staff or in the Application (pages 5, II/7-1, and III/1-5, for i
'
l
'
4 example)" (Intervenor's motion, bottom of page 8). The empha-5 I sized phrase, including the parenthetical page references, is 6 the first reference Intervenor has ever made in the six months ;
7 that the parties have been considering:these questions to a 8 specific context for the terms respecting which it has been 9 seeking definitions. These references are revealing. They dem-10 onstrate beyond reasonable question the insincerety of Inter-11 venor's claims of disadvantage in the discovery process. As 12 Applicant expected the expressions.are used_in their simple 13 common (dictionary meaning) sense.
14
. 15 Intervenor's reference to page II/7-1 of the Applica- ,
i
'
16 tion directs one to the following ' sentence: "The benefits (of 17 the Nuclear Energy Laboratory facility) include, but are not I 18 limited to: (a) education of students and public . . . (b) .

.
20 the Application directs one to the fcllowing sentence: "The
'
21 reactor and its supporting laboratories will be used for the 1
22 -education of senior undergraduate and graduate students." Thesel 23 contexts are in no way related to Applicant's financial records .
.
24 ; and documents. Moreover, ca'n Intervenor be seriously insisting
i 25

that the meaning of -the " question 4" terms as they are used in
'
26 the above sentences is anything more than the straightforward i

' that Intervenor's continued insistence on this line of argument :
2 3 has as its main purpose the harassment of Applicant and' its ;
-
4 Staff. .
5 6 As to Intervenor's third point complaining that Appli- '
7 cant has not. extended the May 13, 1980 document data for the 8 Post-1979 period, the matter is moot. The requested data ap-9 pears on page 23 of Applicant's second set answers offered in 10 response to Intervenor's second set interrogatory no. 41 (Con-11 tention II).
12 -
13 The remainder of Intervenor's motion is concerned 14 with Intervenor's interpretation.of the Board's orders, its 15 interpretation of the Staff's response, its conclusions on what
~
16 it thinks the information it now possesses demonstrates, and its 17 hollow assertions ab,nt what information it contends Applicant ;

18 is presently withholding. Applicant has discussed the relevant I

19 matters above and has demonstrated that there is little merit
