ASLBP No. 06-849-03-LR (Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station))
VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO ENTERGY'S CONFIRMATORY CUFen ANALYSES Pursuant to the Board's Partial Initial Decision (Ruling on Contentions 2A, 2B, 3 and 4), LBP-08-25, 68 N.R.C. _
(Nov. 24, 2008) Entergy filed its "confirmatory environmentally assisted fatigue (CUFen) analyses" for certain reactor components on January 8, 2009. Pursuant to that Order responses by any party to the Entergy filing are due on February 23, 2009. The Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS) files thi's unopposed motion to extend the deadline for filing responses to March 9, 2009.
DPS is in the process of retaining Beckman & Associates to review the calculations submitted by Entergy. Initially, Beckman indicated that the work requested could be done at a cost that would allow for expedited contract approval. Subsequently, after review of the material in more detail by DPS and Beckman, it was determined that the cost of the work would be sufficiently greater and that a 1-
more complicated contracting process would be required. As a result, DPS has not been able to formally retain Beckman and thus Beckman's review of the material has been delayed. An additional 14 days will be sufficient to allow the contracting process to be completed, for Beckman to provide its analysis to DPS and for DPS to determine what, if any, response it will have to the new calculations by Entergy.
DPS counsel contacted attorneys for the NRC Staff and Entergy to seek their views regarding the proposed extension. After accommodating their concerns and explaining the facts as described above, Staff and Entergy indicated they would not oppose the motion. Counsel for the State of New Hampshire has indicated he supports the motion. The pro se representative for NEC has indicated he supports the motion.
For the reasons stated, DPS requests the Board extend the deadline for filing responses to the January 8th filing by Entergy to, and including, March 9, 2009.
