Since mid-September we have also been talking and corresponding with Ms. Ann M. Lovell of the Business Operations Division Department of Energy in Oak Ridge Tennessee in attempts to expedite the removal and return of the nuclear fuel in our possession.
Ms. Lovell has been trying to get answers as to the procedures to follow and time table for the return-of the nuclear materials from her i
