UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD PANEL Before the Licensing Board:

Michael M. Gibson, Chair Nicholas G. Trikouros Dr. Gary S. Arnold In the Matter of:

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY (North Anna Power Station Units 1 & 2)

Docket Nos. 50-338-SLR-2 50-339-SLR-2 ASLBP No. 24-984-02-SLR-BD01 April 10, 2024 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Scheduling Initial Prehearing Conference)

This Licensing Board will hold an initial prehearing conference in this license renewal proceeding on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 beginning at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) to hear oral argument on the issues presented in the hearing request of Beyond Nuclear, Inc.

(Beyond Nuclear) and the Sierra Club, Inc. (Sierra Club). Below are details on information technology and administrative matters relevant to the conduct of the conference.

A.

Information Technology Matters The oral argument will be held in-person in the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panels Hearing Room at NRC Headquarters, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, 20852. The participants and members of the public who wish to attend should plan to arrive about an hour before the conference, entering NRC Headquarters through the One White Flint North Building, to allow enough time to proceed through security and to be escorted to the Hearing Room.

The Board will issue a separate order the week before the oral argument with a listen-only telephone number for members of the public and other interested persons. The argument will also be transcribed, and the transcript will promptly be placed in the NRCs electronic hearing docket, where it may freely be accessed.

B.

Administrative Matters The oral arguments primary purpose is to allow the Board to ask questions and obtain answers concerning whether the petitioners three proffered contentions are admissible under 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1). The Board will hear from counsel for Beyond Nuclear and Sierra Club, counsel for Virginia Electric and Power Company, and counsel for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff.

Because the oral argument is not an evidentiary hearing, the participants should not attempt to introduce evidence during the argument. Consequently, material that has not already been cited in the participants pleadings should not be used.

On or before noon EST on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, each of the participants should provide the Boards law clerk, Emily Newman (emily.newman@nrc.gov), with an e-mail specifying the name or names of counsel who will be making a presentation on behalf of that participant.

It is so ORDERED.
