APPLICANT'S RESPONSE TO INTERVENOR $ = MA E 8 AL DOHERTY'S MOTION TO SUBPOENA 0 19~

f QUADREX CORPORATION EMPLOYEE WITNESSES 6- S
//
On March 15, 1982 intervenor Doherty filed a motion re ^
questing the Board to subpoena its own witnesses in this pro-ceeding in order to address in detail various unspecified aspects of the STP and Allens Creek Quadrex Reports. Mr. Doherty has ,
i failed to provide adequate grounds to support his request, and in fact, that request is based upon a misperception of the scope of the reopened hearings in this proceeding. The motion should be denied. .
Mr. Doherty cites Consumers Power Company (Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-382, 5 NRC 603, 607-08 (1977) as authority for the Board to grant his request. Therein, the Appeal Board denied an intervenor's request for financial assistance, but in so doing noted that a licensing board has authority to call, at Commission expense, witnesses of its own "where it' finds a genuine 1D'{)C[5 8203310577 820329 PDR ADOCK 05000466 / /
0 PDR .,
s 4
need for their testimony. . . . It added that the Board's authority should be " exercised with circumspection where the witness it desires to hear would have been sponsored by one of the parties but for financial considerations." (Id.). More recently, the Appeal Board explained that the calling of expert witnesses by the Board "should be reserved for that most extraordinary situation in which it is demonstrated beyond question that a Board simply cannot otherwise reach an informed decision on the issue involved." South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. (Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1), Unpublished Memorandum dated August 27, 1981, at 6, affirmed, ALAB-663 (December 14, 1981). Mr. Doherty has not shown either that this is an " extraordinary situation" justifying the calling of Board witnesses or even that there is a " genuine need" for this testimony.
i Mr. Doherty argues that the appearance of the authors of the Quadrex Report is necessary for a " full airing" of the technical deficiencies at STP as alleged in the Report.
However, Mr. Doherty obviously reads the Board's January 28, 1982, order as inviting a detailed review of the STP design, and specifically of all the particular Quadrex fin'ings as to various STP design deficiencies. In its Response to Doherty's
request for a postponement of the upcoming hearings,- the Applicant explained why it believes that analyses of all the
-*/ Applicant's Response To Intervenor Doherty's Motion For Postponement Of The April 12, 1982 Hearings (March 17, 1982).
l particular design deficiencies allegedly encountered at STP by the Quadrex reviewers are not relevant to che Board's inquiry in this proceeding. We therein stated that, for purposes of this hearing,. Applicant will assume that Mr.
Doherty's issues (A) through (O) -- the only Quadrex issues i
admitted for consideration by the Board -- have indeed occurred at STP and will show how their recurrence at Allens Creek will be prevented. This testimony will be presented by a witness from EBASCO who will specifically address each of the issues labeled (A) through (o) by Mr. Doherty and by a responsible HL&P official who will testify as to the Applicant's present organization to review the ACNGS design.
Such evidence will fully address the concerns expressed by the Board in its Order setting these additional hearings.
Applicant further believes that it would be wholly inappro-priate, and inconsistent with the standards established by the Appeal Board, to pre-judge the need for the Board to call its own witnesses (or even to request supplemental testimony) absent a clear indication that the testimony to be offered by the Staff and Applicant will be inadequate to respond to TexPirg's contention. Applicant believes that the testimony
, tobepresentedbyHL&PandStaff,inconjunctiobwithearlier testimony on this issue, will establish that it is technically qualified to construct the ACNGS within the meaning of the Atomic Energy Act and the Commission's regulations, and that
r this testimony will resolve the concerns expressed by the Board in its January 28, 1982, Order. After reviewing this additional testimony, and conducting cross-examination, the Board can then determine whether it is faced with an extraordinary situation in which it is unable to reach an informed decision on the basis of the evidence presented to it, and must request further testimony. See, South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. (Virgil Summer Nuclear Station, Units 1 & 2), ALAB-663, Slip op. at 31-32 ' December 14, 1981). We are confident that this will not occur; and certainly the Board cannot so conclude in advance of hearing the testimony proffered by the parties.
For all of the foregoing reasons, Mr. Doherty's motion should be denied.
