[External_Sender] Re: Re: Re: Re: The article was in your local news - Figured you saw it Mr. Barkley, still waiting for your responses to my last e-mail. One of the other questions you and I spoke about and wanted included to the new Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman, Kristine Svinicki and the past Chairman, Stephen Burns : Are evacuation plans developed in the likely event of a nuclear disaster or the unlikely outcome? I am sure you remember Mr.
Barkley, this was one of the several questions & issues I asked members of the NRC panel to address during my testimony on December 18, 2013 in Hampton NH.
Unfortunately this question and others did not get even a response from anyone on the NRC Panel.
As you know, during my interview with Former NRC Commissioner, James Asselstine, he did address all of my many concerns including the Special Needs issue of leaving these citizens behind in the event of a disaster at Seabrook Station. Neither did Former NRC Executive Director, Victor Stello whose reply to this issue and others was the very reason I foundered We The People.
So why is it the highest officials in the NRC are still refusing to fully address these questions and other safety concerns at Seabrook Station?
As I requested in the previous conversations and e-mails, please list all of the questions &
comments you plan on sending to your boss, NRC Chairman Christine Svinicki and Commissioner Stephen Burns so we do not have to continue to over these in the future.

RE: Re: Re: Re: The article was in your local news - Figured you saw it Chairman Burns was gracious and dedicated enough to stick around. Without him, the Commission does not have a quorum. This happened in other federal commissions, and the prior Chairman promptly resigned, an action which puts those Commissions functionally in a real bind.
SUBJECT:
PRESIDENT APPOINTS NEXT CHAIRMAN
President Donald J. Trump has named Commissioner Kristine Svinicki NRC Chairman, effective immediately. I will remain with the agency as a Commissioner.
It has been an honor and a pleasure working with you in my capacity as Chairman. I fully expect that you will provide Chairman Svinicki with the strong support you have given to me during my time as Chairman. I can assure you that as a Commissioner, I will remain engaged in the work of our agency and its safety and security mission.

[External_Sender] Re: Re: The article was in your local news - Figured you saw it Mr. Barkley, please send me a copy of the questions and comments you said you would send to your boss from the notes you took on January 17, 2017 from 1:31 - 2:09 PM.
As you know this included who was the person in charge at the NRC under Victor Stello's watch from the timeframe of 1987-1990 concerning the investigations of the Counterfeit Substandard Nuclear Parts Scandal.
Also during our conversation January 17, 2017 was a previous question I wanted NRC Chairman, Stephen Burns to answer himself. Question: If NRC Chairman had a relative in my Son's
healthcare facility who could not be moved because of special needs in the event of a meltdown at Seabrook Nuclear plant, would he believe it would be humane to leave her/him behind to be administer Potassium Iodide by a volunteer willing to stay during in a nuclear disaster?
There were other questions & comments also. So you and I do not have to continue to go back and forth on this information, I hope by us working together your boss and Chairman Stephen Burns will finally address my concerns.
Thank you again for you understanding and co-operation you have given me in the past and present in attempting to resolve these safety matters and others.
Please respond.

The article was in your local news - Figured you saw it Rowley seeks to move lawsuit into federal court
- By Richard K. Lodge Managing Editor Jan 13, 2017 The town of Rowley filed a request in federal court this week to have the lawsuit by a Rowley nuclear power activist against the town and state Department of Transportation moved from Essex Superior Court to federal court.
Stephen B. Comley Sr. filed a complaint in Essex Superior Court in late October, claiming the Board of Selectmen, selectmen as individuals, and MassDOT failed to follow through on a Town Meeting vote calling for a public hearing on the Seabrook nuclear plants evacuation plan. Comley also alleged selectmen ordered signs that he
and others had posted around Rowley be taken down, while other similar signs of a political nature posted by other individuals were not so removed.
In the U.S. District Court filing in Boston this week, the towns law firm said Comleys complaint alleges that the petitioners violated his First Amendment rights and engaged in a civil conspiracy in violation of (Comleys) constitutional rights.
Because this civil action arises under the Constitution and laws of the United States, the federal court has jurisdiction, according to the filing by John J. Davis, of Pierce Davis & Perritano.
On Thursday, Comley said he had not seen the filing but was not surprised, because of the constitutional free-speech issue involved.
In his complaint in October, Comley said voters at the May 4, 2015, Town Meeting unanimously backed his motion requiring selectmen to ask the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to hold a hearing on the Seabrook plants evacuation plan. Comley said in the complaint the board failed, refused and neglected to do so.
He also said he and other residents had posted signs on public property in Rowley relating to elections, expressing political views, political speech, criticism of governmental inaction and notice of public concern.
He claimed his signs began to disappear after the May 2015 Town Meeting and alleged selectmen were behind an order to remove the signs. The complaint asked a Superior Court judge to order the town and MassDOT not to prevent Comley from posting signs relating to an election, expressing political views, political speech, criticism of government inaction and notice of public concern on public property.
