Subject:

Fwd: Proposed License Amendment Request, Nuclear Fuel Services, Docket No.70-143 Hon. Paul Bollwerk, Hon. William Froehlich, Hon. Sue Abreau, Judges Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Rockville, MD 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 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).

I request an investigation for ongoing chemical and radioactive poisoning of underground and surface water at the Erwin site. ;

(2)an insistence on a quality assurance program; (3)a comprehensive assessment of the cumulative impacts on the environment of this 65-year-old plant; and (4)a challenge to the legality of making new weapons material at a private company when U.S. and international law prohibit the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

(5) I request an assessment of increase of cancers in the surrounding Erwin population currently and an estimation of increased cancers if the AMES process is employed to prepare more refined uranium.

(6) I request a public hearing on this proposed license amendment Thank you.

Sincerely, Nancy Herman, 130 Evelyn Place, Asheville, N.C. 28801. (828) 208-4251
