$C4hh Ection to Consclidate Hearings on Radon Intervenors in the dockets listed above move the Appeal 3 card to consolidate their cases in a single hearing on the matters raised by the intervenors in their answsrs to AIAB-h80 (the radon issue). This motion is brought under 10 CFR 2 716.

All of the intervenors have filed answers to AIAB-h80 asking that further evidence be presented on the inacts of radon beyond the record established in Perkins. "Te believe that justice and the eenvenience of all parties would best be served by holcin6 a consolidated hearing.

The issue in controversy here --the significance cf raden emicsions frot the uranium fuel cycle -is generic. Most of the evidence that could be presented on this issue will apply to all nuclear reactors. It ma :ss sense, therefore, to develop a reccrd suppletantin6 Fer' cine in a consolidated proceeding. Separate hearings that would renuit in substantially sind.lsr records would be a waste of everyone sr time and resources.

The Board's actien in AIAB h80 candating that the Perkins record be used as a

" base" case has pr-sented us with a g facto consolidation. This is the main reason that intervenors who previously oppcsed conselidation have chan6ed their position.

, ij 2 Since we already have a coar.on record on radon in Perkins, it is '.nly fair to cantinue that way.

Holding separate herings under these circur. stances is a piecemeal approach that would give an autocatic disadvantage to the parties first in line for a hearing.

The ? card itself is moving in the direction of censolidation in thic second phase of the radon proceedings. We understand that the Board has deferred raking a finsi decision in core cases where there vias no request fcr further radon hearings, so that it can have the benefit of a record in a contested hearing beyond Ferkins .

"e prcpose a consolicated proceeding as follows:

1. Evidentiary hearings before the Appeal Board with intervenors, applicants and staff jointly represented. Witnesses would be presented and cross examinatin conducted by a single representative for each side s intervenors, applicants and staff. Site specific inforr.ation could he presented by individual prties.

2. Generic proposed findings to be offered in matters common to all applications, I

with an opportunity to offer specific findings in each docket on site specific matters.

3. Scope of the hearings to cover issues raised by parties answering AIAE h80.

For the purpose of filing this motion, the intervencrs have ' agreed to be papresented by Ecology Action cf Cswego.
