RAS 9960 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DOCKETED 05/12/05 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SERVED 05/12/05 ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judges:
Alex S. Karlin, Chairman Dr. Anthony J. Baratta Lester S. Rubenstein In the Matter of ENTERGY NUCLEAR VERMONT YANKEE L.L.C.
and ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC.
(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station)
Docket No. 50-271-OLA ASLBP No. 04-832-02-OLA May 12, 2005 ORDER (Striking New England Coalitions Letter to the Board)
Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.319(d) the Board strikes the May 11, 2005 letter from counsel for the New England Coalition (NEC), and attached newspaper clipping, from the record of this proceeding as irrelevant, immaterial, and unreliable. The letter recited that NEC counsel attended a meeting with the NRC Staff and Entergy, alleged that various statements were made by the NRC Staff, and volunteered NECs observations about these developments. In addition, NEC sent us a clipping from the Times Argus. NECs filing sought no action from the Board.
Rather than simply ignoring this submission as irrelevant, the Board finds it appropriate to advise the parties, at the outset, that this record should not be cluttered with such casual for your information letters, hearsay, and general observations and conclusions of counsel.
Filings in this proceeding should be formal, with the caption of the case, signature of counsel, 1 Copies of this order were sent this date by Internet e-mail transmission to counsel for (1) licensees Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee L.L.C. and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.; (2) intervenors Vermont Department of Public Service and New England Coalition of Brattleboro, Vermont; and (3) the Staff.
and with affidavits to support any factual statements or allegations. Substantive communication with this Board via letter or e-mail is generally inappropriate, except for minor procedural questions or corrections. Further, even if formal, the parties are encouraged to limit their submissions to those that are required or allowed under our rules of practice or that request some action or relief from the Board.
As the filing is stricken, no responsive filings are necessary or appropriate.
It is so ORDERED.
