Victor, Attachments, totalling 2 pages, are being withheld in its entirety under FOIA Ex. 4 I appreciate you and your staff members meeting with us on January 23rd to discuss the Bellefonte Nuclear project, the purchase of the Bellefonte Nuclear site by Nuclear Development, LLC (ND) and our plans to apply for transfer of the Construction permits from TVA to ND.

Following a successful transfer of the permits from TV A to ND we intend to proceed with submitting our Operating License application under 10 CFR Part 50 and plan to restart construction activities, following successful satisfaction of all regulatory requirements.

Per your request, attached are two documents relating to the project schedule and resource plans.

The first is a time line of major project milestones, the second is a bar graph indicating our plans for ramping up construction resources to complete units l & 2. I hope this provides NRC with the information you need to begin to plan for resources to support the Bellefonte project. Please let me know if you have any questions on these attachments.

Realizing that in these matters more detail is always welcome, I will send you more detailed timeline and resource information as soon as it is available. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to me if there are any questions or concerns related to the project.

Best Regards,

Bill McCollum

Mr Mccollum, The purpose of this email is to followup on our discussion last week the setting up of a system as ND, LLC, for storing, handling, and transmitting sensitive unclassified, security-related, and safeguards information.

SRI must be designated by one* of the agencies with that authority. This is usually DOE for reactors. You can have the submitter submit all sensitive information except SGI to you using the "SAFE" application (see YA-17-0068).

The process for sending SGI involves using digital certificates to encrypt the information on a computer authorized to process SGI such that only the recipient can decrypt it. The encrypted file is then transferred using removable media to an Internet connected computer and emailed to the recipient. The recipient places the encrypted file on removable media and transfers the file to a computer authorized to process SGI before decrypting the file.

I believe that the NRC's authority to control this information is authorized in 42 USC 2201(b),

unless I am mistaken on the subsection.

I have attached all the current guidance related to these topics.

I believe that this is the beginning of a conversation on this issue and hope that you find this information to be useful.

Dear Mr. McCollum,

2-page attachment is being withheld in its entirety under FOIA Ex. 4 It was nice talking to you this morning. Please let me know if the password for the document didn't work. As I explained, this is the time of year, when we start looking at the future of the work in the New Reactor Business Line in preparation for the start of the budget cycle for upcoming fiscal years and putting together business model discussions for each project. I've attached the Business Model Discussion summary that Billy put together last year. Please mark it up to reflect your plans going forward to ensure that NRC budgets appropriately to best support your plans. Once you provide it to Billy, Billy will work with you to schedule a meeting (either in person or via telephone) to discuss and finalize the plan. The goal is to hold that meeting before the end of September so that the document is available for agency budget discussions in October. I'm including the generic list of questions that we've sent out to applicants/licensees in the past to assist in modifying the attached plan. I look forward to meeting with you. Do note that these discussions and the resulting business plan write up will be treated as proprietary. Please let me or Billy know if you have questions. Thank you, Jen Jennifer L.

Victor, I appreciate you and your staff members meeting with us on January 23rd to discuss the Bellefonte Nuclear project, the purchase of the Bellefonte Nuclear site by Nuclear Development, LLC (ND) and our plans to apply for transfer of the Construction permits from TVA to ND. Following a successful transfer of the permits from TV A to ND we intend to proceed with submitting our Operating License application under 10 CFR Part 50 and plan to restart construction activities, following successful satisfaction of all regulatory requirements.

Per your request, attached are two documents relating to the project schedule and resource plans. The first is a time line of major project milestones, the second is a bar graph indicating our plans for ramping up construction resources to complete units 1 & 2. I hope this provides NRC with the information you need to begin to plan for resources to support the Bellefonte project. Please let me know if you have any questions on these attachments.

Realizing that in these matters more detail is always welcome, I will send you more detailed timeline and resource information as soon as it is available. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to me if there are any questions or concerns related to the project.

Subsequent to your recent visit to our Executive Director for Operations (Victor Mccree), I was informed that the licensing activities for Bellefonte 1 & 2 will occur out of my Division. I believe that we could benefit from a phone call to exchange contact information and to learn more about how your project is structured, if all your project organization is settled and ready to interface with NRC, how and when we implement our fee billing procedures, and when might be a good time for a working group meeting so that our project managers and your staff can meet face-to-face to discuss the project timelines.

Purpose:

outreach - 4/21/2017

Participants:

Bill McCollum recently named as VP - Nuclear Operations Vonna Ordaz and Frank Akstulewicz Summary:

General discussion about status of project and discussion of NRC budgetary needs and planning What they are planning to discussion with the Chairman and Commissioners They will be asking for NRC support for the project They are a little behind their own timeline - now license transfer application not likely until beginning of FY18 Have been working with DOE on loan guarantee application - have been respondiing to multiple rounds of RAls-they believe that their loan guarantee application is complete and hope to hear about their application in 30 days.

They are finalizing negotiations with contractors for the Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) and with an organization to serve as the Operator for the units - nothing final yet.

An "agreement" in place with AREVA - but did not pursue the nature and extent of that agreement They are not moving quite as fast as they had hoped Morgan Lewis is preparing the license transfer application Other insights

Made a statement that they will not move forward with the project until they have their funding stream in place for the project Funding stream will be a combination of private equity (commercial lending) and DOE loan guarantees Once a DOE decision on loan guarantees is provided, they will figure out what is needed for the balance of the project and they will make a decision on moving the project forward.

Nuclear Development request for lawyer-to-lawyer meeting re: Bellefonte transfer

All, I received a call from Tim Matthews from Morgan Lewis late last week requesting an in-person lawyer-to-lawyer meeting to discuss the Bellefonte construction permit transfer. Nuclear Development received the staff's non-acceptance letter requesting additional information and would like to discuss two separate legal issues with us.

First, Tim would like to discuss the license condition for the technical qualifications review. He understands it is the applicant's burden to propose the condition, but would like OGC's thoughts on whether such a condition is even viable before starting the process of submitting a Commission paper (similar to the Financial qualifications license condition for new reactors). Second, Tim would like to discuss whether tlhe NRC needs a court order or TVA's con transferre. (b)(5)

(b)(5)

(b)(5)

Tim proposed that he could meet with us at NRC HQ this week. He is available anytime tomorrow, and on Wednesday, 5/1, before 11 or after 3pm. I am available tomorrow or after 3pm on Wednesday. Please let me know your availability to attend the meeting. If these times do not work, I will ask Tim to suggest additional times later this week or next week.

Thanks, Anita Anita Ghosh Naber Senior Attorney Office of the General Counsel U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (301) 415-0764 anita.ghoshna ber@nre.gov

Bellefonte Update 5W51"Fl3/4I[ P~E BECl5I8PV,t lldF@fU,1.18"IeFd Good afternoon Chairman/Commissioners, Bill Mccollum, who is serving in a CEO/CNO-like role at Nuclear Development Corporation (NDC), called with an update on Bellefonte. As you may know, NOC has been coordinating with DOE on a request for a loan guarantee to support completion of construction at Bellefonte. Mr. Mccollum said they are "in the final throes" of receiving approval. He said that DOE, the White House and NOC are coordinating _the messages for their respective news releases on the approval of the loan guarantee.

After it receives the loan guarantee, Mr. Mccollum said that NDC plans to reengage NRC in discussions to prepare licensing submittals to support transfer of the permit to construct Bellefonte from TVA to NDC, and to extend the construction permit.

Finally, Mr. Mccollum informed me that the Daily Crawler, a DC based news and opinion website, plans to Issue an article about NOC and that, to support the article, the reporter would likely contact NRC to obtain information about the licensing process under Part SO vs Part 52.
