The Board anticipates that argument will conclude no later than 12 pm. As oral argument will be held via teleconference, on or before Thursday, June 23, a representative from each of the parties should contact Board law clerk Jonathan Eser, (301) 415-5880 or jonathan.eser@nrc.gov, to obtain the bridge line telephone number and pass code for the June 27, 2011 oral argument.

These documents largely contain protected information subject to controls in 10 C.F.R. § 2.390(d)(1) and a protective order in that proceeding. As oral argument will be conducted publicly, the Board will not discuss non-public materials and the participants should refrain from doing so as well.
