William J. Froehlich, Chairman Dr. Gary S. Arnold Nicholas G. Trikouros In the Matter of Docket Nos. 50-266-SLR and 50-301-SLR NEXTERA ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC ASLBP No. 21-971-02-SLR-01 (Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2) May 26, 2021 ORDER (Scheduling Oral Argument)
The Licensing Board will hear oral argument on the petition for leave to intervene and request for hearing filed by Physicians for Social Responsibility Wisconsin on June 22, 2021, at 10 AM EDT. 1 The petition and hearing request assert that a hearing should be granted on four proposed contentions, with proposed Contentions 1 and 3 raising challenges to the Environmental Report and proposed Contentions 2 and 4 raising challenges to the subsequent license renewal application.
The Board will use the Cisco WebEx web conferencing platform for this oral argument.
Prior to oral argument, the Board requires that the parties participate in a test with the Boards IT staff using the Cisco WebEx platform to mitigate any potential technical issues. The WebEx test will be held on June 17, 2021 at 3 PM EDT. The Boards law clerk will email the participants with instructions on how to access Cisco WebEx for the test and oral argument.
1 See Petition of Physicians for Social Responsibility Wisconsin for Leave to Intervene in Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Subsequent License Renewal Proceeding, and Requesting an Adjudicatory Hearing (Mar. 23, 2021).
There will be a bridge line set up with listen-only access for members of the public.
Members of the public who wish to listen to the oral argument may contact the Boards law clerk, Ian Curry, at Ian.Curry@nrc.gov, for the necessary listen-only access information. The oral argument will be transcribed and the transcript will promptly be placed on the NRCs electronic hearing docket where it may be accessed by the public.
Participants will each have 20 minutes to present their oral arguments to the Board.
Physicians for Social Responsibility Wisconsin will speak first, followed by NextEra Point Beach, and then the NRC Staff. Participants may reserve a portion of their time for rebuttal. The participants should be prepared to respond to the Boards questions on any aspect of the petition to intervene and request for hearing, as well as the April 26th motion to amend proposed Contention 2. 2 Counsel should focus their arguments on whether the proposed contentions meet the requirements set forth at 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1), subsections (i) through (vi).
It is so ORDERED.
