Subject:

[External_Sender] Proposed License Amendment Request, Nuclear Fuel Services, Docket No.70-143 Date: Sunday, January 22, 2023 10:28:39 AM Hon. Paul Bollwerk, Hon. William Froehlich, Hon. Sue Abreau, Judges Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Rockville, MD Via email only to hearing.docket@nrc.gov, paul.bollwerk@nrc.gov, william.froehlich@nrc.gov, sue.abreu@nrc.gov RE: Proposed License Amendment Request, Nuclear Fuel Services, Docket No.70-143 Honorable ASLB Judges:

I am writing to object to the Board's failure to provide clear instructions as to how non-parties to this license amendment proceeding are allowed to provide comments to the Board. The August 31, 2022 Federal Register notice referred non-parties to an ADAMS document which was not hyperlinked, and the notice contained zero explanation that persons would be allowed to provide public comments to the Board at the time of the December 12, 2022 hearing.

NRC regulations at 10 CFR § 2.315(a) state, "A person who is not a party . . . may, in the discretion of the presiding officer, be permitted to make a limited appearance by making an oral or written statement of his or her position on the issues at any session of the hearing or any pre-hearing conference within the limits and on the conditions fixed by the presiding officer." This was not done with regard to the Nuclear Fuel Services pre-hearing on December 12. I thus object and request that the Board place my below comments into the record of this proceeding and be deemed properly submitted pursuant to 10 CFR § 2.315(a).

We dont want or need nuclear weapons in this world. They are bound to put an end to life on this planet, and are not in the least a tool for our national security. In fact, they and all the processing for them are illegal according to international law (see UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons). The investment proposed for this Erwin plant should be directed to addressing the climate emergency instead.
