From: LESLIE POPLAWSKI To: Docket, Hearing

Subject:

[External_Sender] Hearing docket Date: Tuesday, January 24, 2023 12:55:04 PM 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 prehearing conference within the limits and on the conditions fixed by the presiding officer." This was not done with regard to the Nuclear Fuel Services prehearing 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).

As a mother and recent grandmother I worry so much about the devistation that war causes to people. I hope humanity will soon evolve to a higher spiritual level in which we understand how to live in this world with one another more peacefully. Yet it only seems to be getting worse. Surely somehow we can find a way to do better.

Yet I as I see current escalations of the Ukraine war in particular, it is clear to me we may not have this chance at all.

Please. If you have a child or children.. If you have grandchildren, please consider their futures too. Or the fact that they literally may not have a future at all with the furthering of nuclear weapons and the prospect coming ever closer toward a nuclear war. Please allow the people to at least speak at a fair hearing. If its still true that our country is a country of the people by the people.

Sincerely, Mrs. Leslie Poplawski Concerned mother and grandmother Sent from my iPhone
