NRC Wonders Why it's lost the Public's Trust Mr. Morris, I am a law clerk with the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel. As an adjudicatory employee it is not appropriate for the Staff to contact members of the ASLBP to discuss matters relating to active cases. Consistent with ASLBP policy, this communication, including my response, will be placed on the docket and served on all parties.
Sincerely, Noel From: Scott Morris <Scott.Morris@nrc.gov>

NRC Wonders Why it's lost the Public's Trust Noel... I don't believe we've met (but if we have I apologize!). Please let me know when you have a minute to discuss this incoming email.
As the former RA in Region IV, I am accustomed to receiving these types of inquiries. Let's talk about how to acknowledge and reply to Nina's email.
I'm in Region II and III this week but should be able to find time to chat tomorrow (from Atlanta).
Please reach out to Patti Sprogeris to find a mutually convenient time.
I'm cc'd two of the OEDO ETAs who can help as well.
Scott

[External_Sender] RE: Question on the Rescheduled Diablo Canyon Oral Argument Call-in Information- & NRC Wonders Why it's lost the Public's Trust Noel - Are You or ANYBODY @ the NRC aware that, due to the legislation (Senate Bill 846 ) passed
& that our Gov. Newsome signed into law @ 1:30 in the morning of the last day of the CA Leg.
Session (Aug. 30th 2022) will force ALL CA ratepayers to have an increase in their Electrical bills of somewhere between 3-5% just to pay off what our Gov. has deem a $1.42 BILLION dollar loan?
Additionally, if you or anyone @ the NRC actually reads thru CA SB 846, you will also see that triple digit BILLIONS will be siphoned off the states general fund ANNUALLY to the tune of $600, to throw over to at Water Resources to dump into Diablo Canyon with NO PUBLIC HEARING by the CA PUBLIC UTILITY COMM!!!
Maybe someone should be educating the NRC to what will impact ALL Californians ratepayers for decades including CCAs (Community Choice Aggregates)-not just the PG&E ratepayers.
BTW - the ONLY competitive advantage the CCAs were able to offer for providing renewable sources of energy was a approx.. 2-3 cent advantage over the 3 CA investor-owned utilitiesi.e. ALL competition of the investor-owned utilities was also eliminated with SB 846. AGAIN, NO PUBLIC HEARINGS with CPUC.
Lest the NRC forgets, ratepayers here in San Diego are already paying $ 2.52 BILLION in decommissioning costs for the San Onofre mess; plant shuttered 39 year + 1 month early abruptly due to a new design (NOT Like-for-Like as promised) that resulted in a radiation leak, massive emergency & on-site and off-site insurance exemptions granted by NRC, Holtecs broken bolts &
shims, Downloading accident that revealed all 72 cans are scratched and gouged,.and the icing on the cake that the 2014 Cost Estimator (EnergySolutions) gets the 8-10 year contract to decommission the job it estimated with a Jt. Venture with AECOM who was found guilty of fraud @
Hansen?! the Song goes on and on @ San Onofre These additional costs are also on top of what taxpayers are dolling out via the Judgement Fund in the millions, upon millions of DOE breach of contract settlements for the investor-owned utilities.
So if you are a San Diegan ratepayer and ALSO a U.S. Taxpayer, we are paying multiple ways for NO VOICE on Diablo.
All this + more too numerous to mention. Icing on this cake baked for the investor-owned utilities is now NRC acts as tho ALL Californians should not be allowed a Voice when it comes to Diablo! If Chair Hansen still wonders why the NRC has a problem with the Publics trust? Its self-evident to Us.
