Sub ject: [External_Sender] Chairm a n Hanson Visit to Robinson Follow-Up
Kathleen,
Duke Energy very much enjoyed having Chairman Hanson visit our Robinson Site last wee k. I would like to extend an invitation to the Chairman to visit any of our other Sites at his convenience. As a follow-up to the Robinson visit, the Chairman indicated a desire for a follow-up conversation with me. Feel free to schedule a meeting (phone, MS Teams, or in-p erson at his convi n ce). I understand tha t his calendar is more o f a constrain t than mind so feel free to offer potential dates/times via email or call me directly to schedule, if and when the Chairman would like to continue the conversation.
- t regards,

[External_Sender] Request for Commissioner Follow-Up Meeting - Helion Energy
Hi Kathleen,
I hope you are doing well. I worked with you a year ago to facilitate a meeting with Chairman Hanson and Helion
~. He lion is a nuclear fusion company that plans to put clean, affordable fusion energy on the grid in the near term. We had a 30-minute virtual meeting with the Chairman last year that went very well, and it was suggested that we check in again as things progressed.
Helion has recently completed a new fundraise, and publicly announced its goal to demonstrate net electricity production from fusion energy in 2024. This seems to be a good time for an update, and want to ask if the Chairman would appreciate an opportunity to engage with us on our recent milestones and updated goals-including how they may affect NRC licensing. We are also very actively engaged with the NRC staff on development of a regulatory framework for fusion (who have been great to work with), and it would be helpful to reflect with the Chairman on that as well.
If amenable, would the Chairman have 30 minutes free sometime in January? We can work around his schedule.

[External_Sender] meeting request
2 Molly and Cinthya -
I hope you're both doing well and that you can take some time to recharge over the holidays.
- ring a couple of recent public meetings, NRC staff has alluded to completion of the evaluation process of extravasations and medical event reporting expected this spring, and a SECY package going to the Commission soon. We've really appreciated the opportunity to submit written comment to you and Chairman Hanson throughout this process, and we anticipate that continuing. But I'd also like to request a meeting (in-person or virtual) on behalf of Ron Lattanze and Lucerne Dynamics, so tha t there can be a give-and-take like the Commissioners have with ACMUI and others. I think it would be valuab le in correcting some misperceptions that persist, and clarifying some technical details. We can be available anytime to do this.
Thanks very much for considering, and let me know if you have any questions.

Perhaps tomorrow morning, Wednesday afternoon, Thursday abo ut 3 or 4, or most any time Friday should work.

Kathleen - great. The format will be an informal "fireside chat" with Jeff Merrifield, former Commissioner, who now consults with the Fusion Industry Association. It is planned for 30 minutes, and Jeff would lead the conversation. We can open for audience questions. Low pressure, but we should probably do a call prior to the event to tak through.

February 17, 2022
The Honorable Christopher T. Hanson Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C., 20555-0001
Dear Chairman Hanson:
I'm writing to invite you to participate in the first annual Fusion Industry Association (FIA) policy conference, taking place on Wednesday, March 30 at 1601 Pennsylvania Ave, NW.
The FIA is the unified voice of the fusion industry, with 27 member companies working to transform the American energy system with commercially viable fusion power. As you know, fusion can be a key part of the clean energy future, if we can accelerate the timeline for commercialization. This conference will be an opportunity for our membership and the broader fusion community to hear from government leaders and policymakers like yourself about how the government will impact the fusion future.
The audience will include the leaders of both the privately funded fusion companies and national lab fusion scientists. The NRC is the key agency in ensuring public health and safety, as we work towards fusion power plants. The FIA and our members are currently engaged in a public process with the NRC about how fusion energy power plants will be regulated.
We hope that you would be available to participate in an informal discussion about NRC priorities with former Commissioner Jeffrey Merrifield. We hope that you would be able to participate in this discussion at about 2:45 PM. Thank you for your consideration. I can be reached at aholland@fus ion industryassociation.org or at 202-486 - 2814.
Sincerely,
~FV
