In support of this request, Petitioners/Appellants aver that:

(1) Petitioners counsel, not having been involved in NRC licensing proceedings for some 25 years, appeared in this proceeding only a short while ago - February 16, 2010.

In that time the Rules of Practice, as well as the Atomic Energy Act itself, have undergone substantial changes. It has required a great deal of time and work on his part to become conversant with the case file as well as the pertinent sources of legal authority; (2) The undersigned, a sole practitioner of law, has been atypically tied up with other matters to which he was committed before his appearance in this proceeding, including but not limited a brief filed yesterday in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals (Hardin v.

Jackson, No. 09-5365) and an oral argument scheduled for April 22 (Commonwealth of Virginia v. BREDL, Va. Ct. App. Nos. 2221-09-02, 2222-09-02.)

In accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), counsel for the Staff has discussed this motion with counsel for the other participants in this proceeding. Counsels for the TVA did not consent to the granting of this motion. Lead counsel for the Staff could not be reached despite several attempts yesterday and today; associate counsel could not take a position.

Respectfully submitted, Signed (electronically) this 20th day of April, 2010, in Washington, D.C.
