BACKGROUND On February 9-10, 1982, a prehearing conference was held at Oak Ridge, Tennessee in order to establish a schedule for this proceeding. As part of the Order issued following the conference, the Licensing Board, in recogni-tion of the large amount of discovery which has already been O

'- conducted, limited further discovery in this proceeding to two rounds, with the second round limited to follow-up matters.

On March 18, 1982, Intervenors submitted their first round of discovery to Applicants: (1) Intervenors' Sixteenth Set of Interrogatories; (2) Intervenors' Ninth Request for Admissions; and (3) Intervenors' Fifth Request 2/

for the Production of Documents.- Included within the Sixteenth Set of Interrogatories were five interrogatories, each with multiple subparts, addressed to Contention 5 3/

(safeguards).- Applicants on March 29, 1982 filed a Motion for A Protective Order in regard to certain of those inter-rogatories and are engaged in preparing responses to the remainder.

On March 26, 1982, before receiving responses to that first round of discovery, Intervenors filed their second round of discovery, which included a Seventeenth Set l

. of Interrogatories and Request to Produce to the Appli-cants. That set consisted of 19 interrogatories, most with multiple subparts, all again related to Contention 5.

'lRDC had previously filed discovery requests with both Applicants and Staff concerning Contention 5 on a 4/

number of occasions- and had received a large amount of 5

information regarding safeguards. / At the time these proceedings were suspended in 1977, Intervenors had indi-cated to the Board in a Statement in Advance of Special Meeting of Counsel for Parties filed on March 16, 1977, that 6

discovery had been completed on Contention 5.- / Over the past four years, Intervenors have thus had sufficient time to focus their need for any additional information and submit a request, in one round as provided in the Board Order, for that information.

h ARGUMENT I. Intervenors' Entire Seventeenth Set of Interrogatories Violates the Board's Prehearing Conference Order of February 11, 1982 Following the prehearing conference held on February 9-10, 1982, this Licensing Board established a schedule for this proceeding. As part of that Order the Board directed that:

Discovery will be limited to two rounds. The parties shall attempt to obtain all relevant information in the first round and the second round will be limited to follow-up matters. The rules concerning discovery set forth in the Comanche Peak case, 14 NRC 150 at 154-57, are incorporated herein by reference.

Prehearing Conference Order at 1-2.

In establishing this reasonable limitation on discovery, the Board was implementing Commission policy to

" expedite that [the hearing] process by using appropriate management methods." Comanche Peak, 14 NRC at 154. As Chairman Miller stated at the Prehearing Conference, "you

[NRDC] and all parties have had massive discovery."

Transcript at 1061. Later, in addressing the issue of

(

additional-discovery, the Chairman stated that the Board takes "a very dim view of any 2100 or 2400 or 1400 requests i

for discovery . .. we want this discovery focused" in order l

to protect the parties from " unnecessary burdensome work."

Id. at 1121.

-O

  • The Intervenors Seventeenth Set of Interrogatories violates both the letter and the spirit of the Board's Prehearing Conference Order. By their own admission, Inter-venors had completed discovery on Contention 5 by March 1977 and Contention 5 has remained unaltered except for "mechani-cal corrections only.'"7 / Yet, without even waiting for Applicants to update their responses to the previous four sets of Interrogatories addressing Contention 5, Intervenors have submitted two new rounds of discovery relating to that Contention. This contravenes of the Board's admonitions to minimize discovery and to keep it focused in order to expe-dite the hearing process and to protect the parties from unnecessary, burdensome work. Furthermore, the Order limits discovery to two rounds, with the second round only for follow-up matters. Yet, Intervenors' second round, the Seventeenth Set of Interrogatories, was submitted before Applicants even had a chance to answer the first round, the Sixteenth Set. Certainly, the second round cannot be considered a follow-up when the Intervenors have not even j seen the responses to the first round of questions.

Applicants submit that Intervenors' Seventeenth

! Set of Interrogatories to Applicants in its entirety is in violation of the Board's Prehearing Order of February 11, l

l 1982. Intervenors have either failed to understand the Board's Prehearing Conference Order or have chosen to ignore it. In any event, the result of Intervenors' piecemeal approach to discovery is exactly the situation which the Board meant to avoid when it issued its Order -- i.e.,

massive, and unfocused discovery which will bog down the proceeding and place an unnecessary burden on the Applicants 8

and Staff. /

II. NRDC's Seventeenth Set of Interrogatories and Request for Production Far Exceeds the Scope of Contention 5. 9/

A. Contention 5 Is Specifically Limited to the Cost of Safeguards for Purposes of the NEPA Cost Benefit Analysis.

In their latest discovery requests, Intervenors have sought information in virtually every instance directed solely at the adequacy of safeguards at all facilities which might be a source of fuel for the Clinch River Breeder 10/

O I

importantly, it is in direct contravention of this Board's l Order of April 6, 1976 admitting Contention 5.

At the time they originally proposed Contention 5, Intervenors apparently understood that the adequacy of safe-guards at facilities within the CRBRP fuel cycle was not an appropriate issue in this proceeding. In response to Appli- l cants' objection to Contention 5, Intervenors specifically stated that the scope of the contention was limited to the costs of safeguards for purposes of the NEPA cost benfit analysis. In responding to Applicants' objection to Conten-tion 5, NRDC stated that the " potential cost [of safeguards) must be quantified in the construction permit impact state-ment". In response to this statement, the NRC Staff agreed that the Contention, as limited to the cost of safe-12 guards , was admissable.-- /

In admitting this Contention, the Board expressly limited its scope in the manner suggested by Intervenors and the Staff. In its Order, the Board stated:

We hold that an evaluation of the poten-

, tial cost of safeguarding the CRBR, fuel j cycle facilities and transportation supports should be included in the NEPA l

cost benefit analysis, and hence the contention is admitted. 13/

In disregard of the Board's Order, Intervenors are attempting to raise issues through discovery concerning the adequacy of safeguards at the CRBR, all DOE and DOD facili-ties and at NRC licensed facilities. That NRDC is attempt-ing to raise issues outside the limited scope of Contention 5 is made abundantly clear in NRDC's responses to the NRC Staff's Fifth Set of Interrogatories to NRDC. In response to Interrogatory 1, NRDC concludes with the following  ;

statement:

Intervenors' position is that there must be enough information available to the public with respect to possible threat levels so that the public may be able to make an independent judgment as to the adequacy of safeguards. 14f Intervenors' discovery is, of course, limited to the scope of their admitted contentions. Discovery under Contention 5 is, therefore, expressly limited to the cost, not the adequacy of safeguards. As will be discussed, to

---13/ Project Management Corporation, (Clinch River Breeder Plant), LBP7614, 3 NRC 430, 434-35 (1976).

! ---14/ The information which must be made "available to the l public" is carefully circumscribed by the Commission's l recent rule regarding the Protection of Unclassified i Safeguards Information. 46 Fed. Reg. 51718 (October 22, 1981). Moreover, much of the information requested by Intervenors is unnecessary for a Construction Per-mit. Both of these matters are more fully dis:ussed later in this Memorandum.

_9 the extent that Intervenors have a generic concran with the adequacy of safeguards, the appropriate forum for voicing those concerns is clearly not this proceeding, but rather a rulemaking proceeding or the Lf!FBR Program Environmental Statement.

B. Intervenors' Discovery Requests Raise Programmatic, Generic Issues Outside the Scope of a Licensing Proceeding.

In its discovery under Contention 5, Intervenors have requested info mation which has no relevance to an individual licensing proceeding, but rather concerns broad programmatic or generic safeguard issues outside the scope of this proceeding.

In Interrogatories 5, 6, 9, 10, 12-16, Intervenors request Applicants' assessment of various reports or testi-mony which address safeguards generally and which have no relevance to current Commission requirements. For example, in Interrogatory 9, Intervenors refer to a 1980 GAO report regarding safeguards and ask Applicants to state what " steps DOE has taken to follow the recommendation in the GAO report. ... Whether DOE has or has not taken any steps to follow the GAO recommendation has no bearing or relevance to the CRBR. Applicants are required to meet the applicable Commission regulations concerning safeguards and security plans, and discovery directed toward adequacy of safeguards

1

. i 1

must be related to adherence to those regulatory safe-guards. The various reports, and testimony, including the GAO report, do not establish, nor are they relevant to, the requirements against which the CRBR safeguards will be 15 j udged .-- /

In addition, in Interrogatories 2-4, and 7 Inter-venors seek information regarding possible safeguards inci-dents at other nuclear facilities either in the United States or abroad. In Interrogatory 7, for example, Inter-venors request information regarding the possible theft of nuclear material at two facilities in the 1960's and 1970's. Intervenors apparently would have this Board consider virtually any speculative or possible incident at any nuclear facility occurring at any time without regard to CRBR or current regulatory standards. As noted above, these standards are the appropriate guide for evaluating safe-guards at CRBR and it is those 5tandards which Applicants must meet.

Finally, in Interrogatories 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15, Intervenors' requests are addressed not only to CRBR, but to all nuclear facilities, domestic or foreign potentially within the CRBR fuel cycle. Obviously, such 15/ See for example, Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. and The Sierra Club Seventeenth Set of Interroga-tories and Request to Produce to the Applicants, Nos.

5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15.

_ 11 _

requests go far beyond the bounds of this licensing pro-ceeding and raise industry-wide generic issues.

In essence, Intervenors are attempting to use this proceeding as a forum for considering safeguards on an industry-wide or programmatic basis in direct contravention of the Commission's Order of August 27, 1976. In that Order, the Commission reviewed Intervenors' Contention 11 which provided:

11. ... The Applicants and Staff's analysis are inadequate with respect to:

(d) The environmental and safety risks associated with widespread use of LMFBR's including:

(1) The risks of sabotage, terrorism and theft directed against plutonium or sabotage directed against LMFBR's and related fuel cycle facilities at any point in the LMFBR fuel cycle.

In rejectinc Contention 11 in its entirety, the Commission specifically noted that the broad issues raised by that

Contention were more appropriately considered in connection 16 with the LHFBR programmatic EIS.- /

Intervenors' current discovery requests concern matters even broader than the adequacy of safeguards for the

. LMFBR program. In its recent discovery requests, Inter-venors now attempt to raise the issue of the adequacy of safeguards as an independent matter without considering either Commission regulatory standards or their application to CRBR or even the LMFBR program. Intervenors, in effect, would convert this licensing proceeding into a rulemaking proceeding in order to assess the adequacy of cafeguards 17 standards presently in effect at all nuclear facilities.--/

16/ As Applicants noted in their earlier Motion for A Protective Order, NRDC submitted comments to the Draft Supplement to the LMFBR Program EIS, regarding safe-guards. At the time they submitted their comments, NRDC presumably understood that the adequacy of safe-guards at all fuel cycle facilities was a programmatic issue.

17/ In all the interrogatories noted above, Intervenors are at least implicitly challenging NRC regulations. More-over, in at least two instances, Intervenors apoear to be directly challenging NRC regulations. In Interroga-tory 8, for example, Intervenors request the "calcu-lated uncertainty in measuring small amounts of plutonium in fuel assembly and bulk handling plants."

Although the interrogatory is somewhat ambiguous, Applicants can only conclude that Intervenors believe that the present NRC standards for accounting for nuclear materials are inadequate. By ignoring NRC regulatory requirements or seeking discovery on matters which go beyond those requirements, NRDC is challenging existing Commission regulations without making the showing required by 10 C.F.R. 5 2.758. Such challenges

, to Commission regulations have been routinely rejected l Continued

Prior to the suspension of this proceeding in 1977, Intervenors attempted to raise similar issues before the Board. In Contention 12, Intervenors, apparently recog-nizing the generic nature of safeguards issues, requested a stay of the CRBR proceeding pending a full resolution of the safeguards issue. In rejecting the broad scope of this Con-tention, the Board noted that the matter of safeguards raised "genecie industry-wide issues". The Board concluded that:

To stay construction of the CRB Reactor until after resolution of these two matters, already generic to existing plants ... ar. pears to the Board to be unj us tified .,;8 /

As in its previous Contention 12, Intervenors, through the discovery process, are again asking the Board to consider industry-wide safeguards issues. Intervenors' various requests raising such issues should be rejected.

C. Intervenors' Discovery Requests Raise Issues Which Are Outside the Board's Jurisdiction. 19/

As in its previous discovery requests of March 18, 1982, Intervenors are requesting discovery regarding the adequacy of safeguards not only at the CRBR but also at all facilities potentially within the CRBR fuel cycle including facilities in foreign countries. See Interrogatories 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17-18. As Applicants noted in their March 29, 1982 Motion for a Protective Order, such an inquiry goes beyond the jurisdiction of the Board. As to any facilities which might have been licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the adequacy of safeguards has already been determined by the Commission. In attempting to raise the issue of adequacy through the discovery process, the Intervenors are collaterally attacking final orders of

, the Commission and, in effect, are requesting the Board to review the Commission's decisions regarding safeguards at those facilities. On the other hand, to the extent that Intervenors are challenging or questioning safeguards at nuclear facilities which are not subject to NRC licensing, l

l l

19/ Applicants argument regarding the Boards' jurisdiction l applies to every Intervenor discovery request which seeks information or raises the issue of safeguards at all potential facilities within the CRBRP fuel cycle.

In seeking site specific safeguards informa-( 22/

also the separate and stricter standard of " necessity" set

T forth in J 0 C.F.R. 5 2.7A4(e) and 10 C.F.R. $$ 73.2 and 73.21. This standard of necessity is a result of Congress' passage of Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act in which Congress mandated that safeguards information be withheld from public disclosure. In response to the Congressional directive, the NRC ist NJ ietailed regulations and strictly limited the instances in which such information could prop-erly be disclosed. Section 2.744 permits disclosure of safeguards information only where " disclosure is found by the presiding officer to be necessary to a proper decision 4 in the proceeding". Similarly, Section 73.21 limits access I'

---21/ The objection stated herein applies to all Intervenors Safeguards discovery and will not be upeated in discussing each individual interrogatory.

'22/ At the Construction Permit stage of this proceeding, it might be appropriate to consider tha adequacy of safe-guards at the CRBRP site on a very preliminary basis.

As will be discussed, the adequacy of safeguards at -

CRBRP is an issue to be considered during the Operating License proceeding. Adequacy of safeguards at facili-ties in the fuel cycle is beyond the scope of this proceeding and would not even be considered'in connec-tion with an Operating License proceeding.

. only to a person with an established need to know and "to whom disclosure is ordered pursuant to S 2.744(e) of this Chapter". 10 C.F.R. S 73.21 (c)(vi) .

Intervenors cannot in an LWA proceeding meet the threshold test of necessity. The information sought is simply not necessary Evr an LWA decision. Moreover, it is not necessary for a Construction Permit decision, but should be left for the Operating License proceeding. An applicant for a construction permit must submit certain technical information identified in 10 C.F.R. S 50.34(a). These regulations do not require safeguards information. Rather, 10 C.F.R. SS 50.34(c) and (d) provide that such detailed information, in the form of a physical security plan and a safeguards contingency plan must be submitted only when an application is made for an operating license.

Various Licensing Boards decisions also demon-strate that detailed security and safeguards information need not be presented during a CP proceeding. For instance, the Licensing Board in Long Island Lighting Company, New 23/ In addition to meeting the strict standard of "neces-sary" or "need to know", Intervenors must also agree to and abide by the terms of a protective order similar in scope to that issued in Pacific Gas and Electric Co.

(Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power 91 ant, Units 1 and 2), CLI 80-24,11 NRC 775 (1980). See 46 Fed. Reg. 51720

/ (October 22, 1981). CounseTTor Intervenors , Mr.

Greenberg, has indicated to Counsel for PMC his will-ingness to enter into such an agreement.

l York State Electric and Gas Corporation (Jamesport Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2), *LBP-78-17, 7 NRC 826 (1978) was confronted with a contention that the Applicant's preliminary safeguards plans were incomplete. The Board found that:

Contention IV.1 is without merit and, at best, is premature. We are unaware of any applicable regulation, and none has been cited by the parties, that requires an Applicant for a con-struction permit to submit at that stage preliminary security plans which would consider and/or specify the exact mea-sures to be taken for safeguarding against radioactive releases resulting from criminal acts and sabotage at the plant.

Id. at.866. Similarly, in Power Authority of the State of New York (Greene County Nuclear Power Plant, LBP-79-8, 9 NRC 339 (1979) the Board in a CP proceeding summarily disposed of a contention which alleged that the Applicant's security plan was inadequate. One of the bases for the Board's deci-sion was that a " preliminary discussion of the facility pertaining to protection of vital equipment is all that is required at this (i.e., CP] stage." Id. at 341.

In its discovery requests, Intervenors have ' sought detailed informa* ion regarding all facets of the adequacy of safeguards. Inasmuch as this information is not relevant or i

necessary in a Construction Permit proceeding, a fortiori, it is not relevant during an LWA proceeding. Accordingly, based on NRC regulations and case law, virtually all of

_ 19 _

Intervenors' detailed interrogatories under Contention 5 are clearly premature and exceed the scope of this proceeding.

J3C B'. Intervenors Requests for Comparisons Are Improper In Interrogatories 3, 4, 7,17, and 18, Inter-venors in effect ask Applicants to draw comparisons between CRBR and other nuclear facilities either domestic or foreign. In Interrogatories 3, 4, and 7, Intervenors request information regarding possible safeguards problems which may have arisen at other nuclear facilities. The obvious, indeed the only possible purpose for these requests is to compare the safeguards plans or equipment at those facilities with that proposed for CRBR. Similarly, in Interrogatories 17 and 18, Intervenors request information regarding the safoguards and physical security regimes at foreign breeders. Again, the only possible purpose for these requests is to compare CRBR and foreign treeders.

As Applicants have noted, the adequacy of the CRBR safeguards will be judged against NRC regulatory require-ments and discovery must be directed towards Applicants' satisfaction of those requirements. Whether safeguards problems have occurred at other plants is irrelevant to this question. Similarly, the safeguards regimes at foreign

,. 24 facilities,- / operating under different standards than those prescribed by NRC can have no relevance to the " safe-guards regime" at CRBR.

In Texas Utilities Generating Company (Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2), Docket Nos.

50-445, 50-446 (March 23, 1982), the Board issued a Protec-tive Order and ordered that the NRC Staff need not respond to interrogatories which sought "to elicit a Staff compari-son of ' similarities' between the ' problems' at Comanche Peak and another nuclear facility. ..." In issuing its Order, the Board stated that "such comparisons are not proper or necessary to a decision in this proceeding."

Likewise here, the comparisons which Intervenors hope to make "are not proper or necessary to a decision in this proceeding."
