May 26, 2006 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD In the Matter of )

)

ANDREW SIEMASZKO ) Docket No. IA-05-021

)

) ASLBP No. 05-839-02-EA NRC STAFF STATUS REPORT The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board issued an Order dated April 6, 2006 directing the Staff to file a status report at intervals not to exceed three months or whenever an event occurs that materially affects the scheduling in the criminal proceeding. We have been informed by Thomas Ballantine, Department of Justice, on May 25, 2006, as follows:

On May 12, 2006, counsel for Mr. Geisen, on behalf of all defendants in U.S. v.

David Geisen, et al., and Mr. Ballantine, on behalf of the Government, filed a letter (attached) proposing that the Court set aside the May 24 motions deadline and, instead, conduct a telephone conference on that date to discuss the setting of a status conference by the Court.

On May 19, 2006, the Court issued an Order (attached) extending the motion filing deadline (no date specified) and scheduling a telephone status conference for May 24, 2006 to discuss the setting of a status conference by the Court.

On May 24, 2006, following the telephone status conference, the Court issued an Order (attached) granting the joint request of counsel to extend the deadline for production of discovery to June 2, 2006. The Order provided that production of 404(b) materials and the governments expert report would be exempt from the June 2 discovery deadline. The order scheduled the next telephone status conference for July 11, 2006, at which time counsel will discuss appropriate deadlines for filing of motions. In the interim, counsel will review discovery

materials to determine what, if any, motions will be filed, and government counsel will file a motion requesting that the case be declared a complex case due to the voluminous nature of discovery and other case significant factors. The time between June 2 and July 11, 2006 will be excluded from Speedy Trial Act.

A trial date has not been set. Government counsels estimates of (a) when a firm trial date will be set, (b) when government counsel believes that this case will be scheduled for trial, and (c) the estimated duration of the trial, have not changed since the Staffs last status report (April 20, 2006). The Government is not aware of any other information that may shed light on the likely schedule for the criminal proceeding.

Respectfully submitted,
