UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judges:
Lawrence G. McDade, Chairman Dr. Kaye D. Lathrop Dr. Richard E. Wardwell In the Matter of Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC. ASLBP No. 07-858-03-LR-BD01 (Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3) March 11, 2011 ORDER (Granting New Yorks and Clearwaters/Riverkeepers Motions for Extensions of Time)
Before the Board are two motions for extensions of time: (1) the State of New York (New York) has moved to extend the time within which it may reply to Answers filed on March 7, 2011, by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) and the NRC Staff to New Yorks proposed contentions NYS-12C and NYS-37,1 and (2) Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. and Riverkeeper, Inc. (Clearwater/Riverkeeper) have moved to extend the time within which they may answer Entergys pending Motion to Strike, which was filed on March 4, 2011.2 New York asks that the time within which it may file its reply be extended from March 14, 2011, to March 18, 2011, because of expert and consultant availability and the length and content of the Answers to which it intends to reply. Further, it claims that the additional time will be beneficial to the Board through the efficiency New York hopes to achieve by filing a single reply to the Answers for each contention.3 Clearwater/Riverkeeper ask that the time within which they may file an answer to Entergys Motion to Strike be extended from March 14, 2011, to March 21, 2011, due to Clearwaters reorganization of its legal team and the 1
Motion of the State of New York for a Four Day Extension of Time to File Replies to NRC Staff and Entergys March 7, 2011 Answers (Mar. 9, 2011) [hereinafter New York Motion].
2 Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. and Riverkeeper, Inc.s Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Entergys Motion to Strike (Mar. 9, 2011) [hereinafter Clearwater/Riverkeeper Motion].
3 New York Motion at 2-3.
limited resources Clearwater/Riverkeeper have to file the reply to another contention by March 14, 2011.4 Both New Yorks Motion and Clearwaters/Riverkeepers Motion represent that the NRC Staff does not object to their respective extensions, while they concede that Entergy opposes their Motions.5 Entergy filed Answers opposing each Motion on March 10, 2011.6 Given the length and number of the pleadings recently filed and that granting these extensions will not alter the trigger date for evidentiary hearing filings we established in our Scheduling Order,7 we hereby grant both Motions. New York may reply to Entergys and the NRC Staffs Answers to NYS-12C and NYS-37 no later than March 18, 2011, and Clearwater/Riverkeeper may file their answer to Entergys Motion to Strike no later than March 21, 2011.
It is so ORDERED.
