Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC ) Docket No. 50-271-LR and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. ) ASLB No. 06-849-03-LR
)
(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station) )
NEW ENGLAND COALITION, INC.'S (NEC) MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. §§ 2.307, 2.323, and 2.332(b), and the Board's Initial Scheduling Order ¶ 9, New England Coalition, Inc. (NEC) moves to extend the deadline for its intended Motion for Reconsideration of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's
("the Board") Partial Initial Decision (Ruling on Contentions 2A, 2B, 3, and 4), issued November 24, 2008. Pursuant to 10 CFR § 2.323(e), the deadline for NEC's Motion for Reconsideration is December 4, 2008. NEC requests extension of this deadline to December 15, 2008.
Pursuant to 10 CFR §2.323(c), a December 15, 2008 deadline for NEC's Motion for Reconsideration would result in a December 25, 2008 deadline for other parties' answers to NEC's motion. To avoid prejudice to other parties that might result from a Christmas Day filing deadline, NEC also proposes that the Board extend the deadline for answers to NEC's Motion for Reconsideration by ten days to January 5, 2008.
NEC requires an extension of the deadline for its Motion for Reconsideration for several good reasons. NEC lost time in reviewing the Board's voluminous Order because it was issued on Monday of the week of the Thanksgiving holiday. NEC's Counsel was
on vacation at this time (from November 21-30), and unavailable to assist NEC in reviewing the Order until Monday,. December 1. NEC's technical consulfants were also traveling or otherwise unavailable for consultation regarding the factual findings in the Order. In addition, due to resource constraints NEC will be represented by pro-se counsel for the remainder of this proceeding. Pro-se counsel will file notice of appearance and current counsel will withdraw shortly. Additional time is needed to allow for this transition - ie, for transfer of the case files and for pro-se counsel to come up to speed.
In light of the above-described circumstances, the brief extension NEC requests is reasonable. It is also appropriate under 10 C.F.R. § 2.332(b). The Board's Order is 154 pages long and decided three Contentions, each involving complex issues and the evaluation of extensive evidence. NEC needs more than a few days to fully review the Order, confer with its consultants, and develop its motion for reconsideration. To deny NEC sufficient time at this point in the proceeding would be contrary to the NRC's interest in the fair resolution of NEC's Contentions. Given that the Order requires that Entergy complete additional CUFen analyses and holds the record open for 45 days after the date these analyses are made available to the parties and approved by the NRC, NEC's request for a brief extension of time in which to file a Motion for Reconsideration will not delay the proceeding and can be granted consistent with the NRC's interest in expeditious resolution. See, Order at 67.
NEC has consulted or attempted to consult with all the parties concerning this motion. The State of Massachusetts is not opposed. The NRC Staff is not opposed to the requested extension of NEC's deadline to file its Motion for Reconsideration provided 2
the Board also grants a commensurate extension of the other parties' deadline to answer NEC's motion, as NEC has requested. Entergy could not take a position without knowing specific details of the substance of NEC's intended motion that NEC's counsel was unable to provide. The States of Vermont and New Hampshire did not respond.
WHEREFORE, NEC respectfully requests that the Board extend the deadline for NEC's Motion for Reconsideration of the Board's Partial Initial Decision (Ruling on Contentions 2A, 2B, 3 and 4) to December 15, 2008, and extend the deadline for all other parties to answer this motion to January 5, 2008.
