SEfJSlifllul[ FIRE 8E&Uil8fJ:ltl lfJP8Afc1,t:ifl8fJ Good afternoon Chairman/Commissioners, Bill Mccollum, who is serving in a CEO/CNO-like role at Nuclear Development Corporation (NOC), called with an update on Bellefonte. As you may know, NOC has been coordinating with DOE on a request for a loan guarantee to support completion of construction at Bellefonte. Mr. Mccollum said they are "in the final throes" of receiving approval. He said that DOE, the White House and NDC are coordinating.the messages for their respective news releases on the approval of the loan guarantee.

After it receives the loan guarantee, Mr. McCollum said that NDC plans to reengage NRC in discussions to prepare licensing submittals to support transfer of the permit to construct Bellefonte from TVA to NOC, and to extend the construction permit.

Finally, Mr. McColl um informed me that the Daily Crawler, a DC based news and opinion website, plans to issue an article about NOC and that, to support the article, the reporter would likely contact NRC to obtain information about the licensing process under Part 50 vs Part 52.

NRC-2019-000284 Release Determination Security Notice: Please be aware that this email was sent by an external sender.

Greeting Mr. Mignogna:

The enclosed records were identified by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff as responsive to the above-referenced Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Under the provisions of the FOIA, the N RC must determine whether the records, or any portions of the records, should be withheld from public disclosure.

The NRC must determine which portion(s) of the records, if any, should be withheld from public disclosure under exemption 4 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4}, and 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4}, because they contain trade secret or confidential commercial or financial information ("proprietary information").

We need information from you to assist us in determining whether any information contained in these records falls within FOIA exemption 4.

In addition, as the records originated with you, we are soliciting your comments on whether any portions of these records should be considered critical energy/electric infrastructure information (CEIi). The NRC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the treatment of CEIi (https://www nrc.goy/docs/ML1816/ML18164Al82.pdf as extended by ML20153A466). Any information designat ed by FERC as CEIi would be exempt from disclosure under exemption 3 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(3), pursuant to Section 215A of Part II of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 8240-l.

You may either "mark" electronically (by using Adobe's highlight or comment functionality), or provide a separate narrative identifying any portions that your company believes should be withheld (e.g., by page, section, or paragraph). However, please make sure t hat you clearly identify which portions your company treats as proprietary, and which portions you believe should be considered CEIi. Please return t o me your marked copy, or narrative, along with the answers to the following questions in sufficient explanatory detail to permit the NRC to make a determination. If you do not object to the disclosure of the records, you need not answer the questions below, and simply your response of "no objection to release".

If you believe any of the information in the enclosed records should be treated as proprietary, please answer the following questions:

1. Was the information transmitted to, and received by, the NRC in confidence? Please give details as to the circumstances in which the NRC obtained this information.

2. To the best of your knowledge, is the information currently available in any public sources?

3. Does your company customarily treat this information, or this type of information, as confidential? Please explain why.

4. Would public disclosure of this information be likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of your company? If so, how?

5. Since this information was transmitted to the NRC, have any events alt ered the propriet ary character of the information? If so, please explain.

If you believe any of the information in the enclosed records should be considered CEIi, please answer the following two questions:

1. Why do you believe the information should be considered CEIi?

2. How long do you believe the information should be considered CEIi?

We will consider carefully the response you provide to us. If the NRC determines that any

information that your company identified in response to this letter should be disclosed, we will notify you of our determination, including a description of the information to be disclosed, the reason(s) for the NRC's determination, and the date by which the information will be made available to the public. 10 CFR 9.28{c).

Please provide your response to me at Jjna,Ennjs@nrc.gov no later than January 28, 2022. If we have not heard from you by this date, you will be considered to have no objection to disclosure of any of the records. If you have any questions regarding this matter.

Official Use Only - Sensitive Internal Information TAB2 CURRENT ISSUES Bellefonte Nuclear Plant The Franklin Haney Company is in the process of purchasing Bellefonte Nuclear Plant from the Tennessee Valley Authority. This was announced in a press release from Nuclear Development on November 14, 2016. Current plans are to license Bellefonte under 10 CFR Part 50. AREVA, Inc., formerly AREVA NP, Inc. (both hereafter AREVA) will serve as the NSSS vendor. AREVA has not been in contact with NRR regarding these early stage plans and there is currently no NRR project management assigned.

Dated April 9, 2010, the Tennessee Valley Authority submitted a letter detailing their regulatory assumptions for the possible completion of Bellefonte Nuclear Plant Unit 1. This letter is included in the supplementary information.

Dated August 4, 2010, the staff responded to Tennessee Valley Authority's letter. This response is included in the supplementary information.

EPR and Other Designs On December 11, 2007, AREVA submitted an application for standard design certification for the U.S. EPR. By letter dated February 25, 2015, AREVA requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission suspend its safety review of the U.S. EPR design certification application. AREVA has no immediate plans to ask for further review of the U.S. EPR design.

AREVA continues to work with the Department of Energy, NEI, and EPRI on advanced reactor initiatives. They are working on a high temperature gas-cooled reactor design. They are also working with NEI and EPRI on advanced reactor design criteria. They have no immediate plans for submitting anything for staff review.

AREVA is also considering a modified EPR design for future deployment in Europe. AREVA has no current plans for submitting this design for certification in the U.S.

NRC-2019-000284 Release Determination Greeting Mr. Mccollum:

The enclosed emails that originated with you were identified by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff as responsive to the above-referenced Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Under the provisions of the FOIA, the NRC must determine whether the records, or any portions of the records, should be withheld from public disclosure.

The NRC must determine which portion(s) of the records, if any, should be withheld from public disclosure under exemption 4 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4), and 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4), because they contain trade secret or confidential commercial or financial information ("proprietary information").

We need information from you to assist us in determining whether any information cont ained in these records falls within FOIA exemption 4.

In addition, as the records originated with you, we are soliciting your comments on whether any portions of these records should be considered critical energy/electric infrastructure information (CEIi). The NRC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the treatment of CEIi (https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1816/ML18164A182.pdf. as extended by ML20153A466). Any information designat ed by FERC as CEIi would be exempt from disclosure under exemption 3 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(3), pursuant to Section 215A of Part II of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 8240-l.

You may either "mark" electronically (by using Adobe's highlight or comment functionality), or provide a separate narrative identifying any portions that your company believes should be withheld (e.g., by page, section, or paragraph). However, please make sure that you clearly identify which portions your company treats as proprietary, and which portions you believe should be considered CEIi. Please return to me your marked copy, or narrative, along with the answers to the following questions in sufficient explanatory detail to permit the NRC to make a determination. If you do not object to the disclosure of the records, you need not answer the questions below, and simply your response of "no objection to release".

If you believe any of the information in the enclosed records should be treated as proprietary, please

answer the following questions:

1. Was the information transmitted to, and received by, the NRC in confidence? Please give details as to the circumstances in which the NRC obtained this information.

To the best of your knowledge, is the information currently available in any public sources?

Does your company customarily treat this information, or this type of information, as confidential? Please explain why.

Would public disclosure of this information be likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of your company? If so, how?

Since this information was transmitted to the NRC, have any events altered the proprietary character of the information? If so, please explain.

If you believe any of the information in the enclosed records should be considered CEIi, please answer the following two questions:

Why do you believe the information should be considered CEIi?

How long do you believe the information should be considered CEIi?

We will consider carefully the response you provide to us. If the NRC determines that any information that your company identified in response to this letter should be disclosed, we will notify you of our determination, including a description of the information to be disclosed, t he reason(s) for the NRC's determination, and the date by which the information will be made available to the public. 10 CFR 9.28(c).

Please provide your response to me at Tina.Ennis@nrc.gov no later than January 28, 2022. If we have not heard from you by this date, you will be considered to have no objection to disclosure of any of the records. If you have any questions regarding this matter.

Victor, I appreciate you and your staff members meeting with us on January 23rd to discuss the Bellefonte Nuclear project, the purchase of the Bellefonte Nuclear site by Nuclear Development, LLC (ND) and our plans to apply for transfer of the Construction pe1mits from TVA to ND.

Following a successful transfer of the permits from TV A to ND we intend to proceed with submitting our Operating License application under 10 CFR Part 50 and plan to restart construction activities, following successful satisfaction of all regulatory requirements.

Per your request, attached are two documents relating to the project schedule and resource plans.

The first is a time line of major project milestones, the second is a bar graph indicating our plans for ramping up construction resources to complete units l & 2. I hope this provides NRC with the information you need to begin to plan for resources to support the Bellefonte project. Please let me know if you have any questions on these attachments.

Realizing that in these matters more detail is always welcome, I will send you more detailed timeline and resource information as soon as it is available. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to me if there are any questions or concerns related to the project.

Best Regards,

Bill McCollum

Mr Mccollum, The purpose of this email is to followup on our discussion last week the setting up of a system as ND, LLC, for storing, handling, and transmitting sensitive unclassified, security-related, and safeguards information.

SRI must be designated by one of the agencies with that authority. This is usually DOE for reactors. You can have the submitter submit all sensitive information except SGI to you using the "SAFE" application (see YA-17-0068).

The process for sending SGI involves using digital certificates to encrypt the information on a computer authorized to process SGI such that only the recipient can decrypt it. The encrypted file is then transferred using removable media to an Internet connected computer and emailed to the recipient. The recipient places the encrypted file on removable media and transfers the file to a computer authorized to process SGI before decrypting the file.

I believe that the NRC's authority to control this information is authorized in 42 USC 2201 (b ),

unless I am mistaken on the subsection.

I have attached all the current guidance related to these topics.

I believe that this is the beginning of a conversation on this issue and hope that you find this information to be useful.
