J. Gallo, Chief Hearing Counsel. Office of Executive Legal Director MANAGEMENT ACTION ON WNP-1,4 DOCl2T This memo is to request your effort in escablishing a rad safety hearing date for this docket es soon after 9/1/75 as possible, but in any case soon enough that an ASLB partial decision or order permitting additional LWA-2 work can be issued before 11/1/75. On 11/1/75, Applicant will have completed all work authorized under the LWA-1 and LWA-2 issuad on 8/1/75.
The radiological safety review is coreplete, except for two retiaining outstanding safety issues (not including the Appendix I evaluation) which are expected to be resolved and documented by 9/2/75. These issues are the ECCS final evaluation and evaluation of an ERDA/WPPSS 4
agreement cov. ring Applicant authority to centrol exclusion area activities. Current staff schedules for Append 1x I resolution.1/
predict completion no earlier than 11/4/75, a full two months after all other rad. safety issues are closed.
It is my understanding that additional LWA-2 work beyond that already authorized vill require the ASLB to convene a hearing. If a hearing is not convened until the Appendix I evaluation is complete, we could not respond to the Applicant's need for additional work authorization by 11/1/75.
I recognize that a full rad. safety hearing held in September ray l-require that than hearing record be held open to achieve final disposition of the Appendix I matter. However, all of the rad. safety review except Apnendix I could be aired in September and on the basis of that examination the Board could be asked to authorize additional safety-related work as described in 10 CFR 50.10 (e)(3)..This effort can be expected to result in the desired authorization by the ti=e it is needed, by n /1/75. It also would avert the two month suspension of construction a'etivities that would obtain if we simply wait for the Appendix I matter to be concluded on the schedule now forecant before i
going.to hearing.

l The WNI^-1.4 facility is a " golden plant"2./
This action to maintain the current numenttna of the licensing process is, in ny view, reasonable and justified in this case.
l In addition to the direct benefit to the Applicant ar.d consumer public in aliminating an amidable construction suspension, there is tha racognized benefit of expeditiously cow leting a licensing action scon after the actual technical review of Applicant's submittals is crmp%ete.
