ORDER RELATIVE TO CONCLUSION OF SITE SUITABILITY HEARINGl

- In response to the Board's Order of March 14, 1978, the NRC Staff stated on April 21, 1978, that it expected to com-plete the necessary remaining work, primarily the geologic and seismic reviews , before October 1978. The Staff also estimrced that, following the ACRS review, the hearing on the remaining issues could conclude in "approximately February 1979."

The Board wishes to conclude this matter as soon as possible. The two weeks of evidentiary hearing on other site-related issues, e.g., striped bass, etc., occurred in July and August of 1976. Due to the extraordinary lapse of time , that evidence may now be stale and an updating may be l

necessary to inform all parties and the Board as to the validity of the record and, if necessary, to supplement stune.

The NRC Staff is directed to furnish a status report within ten (10) days and if the schedule proposed on April 21, 1978, cannot be met, the Staff will furnish explicit justifi-cation.
