)
(Palisades Nuclear Plant December 18, 2024 Request for License Transfer) )
PETITIONING ORGANIZATIONS RESPONSE REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT On December 17, 2024, the ASLB requested a response from the parties in this case regarding oral argument. The Petitioning Organizations, Beyond Nuclear, Dont Waste Michigan, Michigan Safe Energy Future, Nuclear Energy Information Service, and Three Mile Island Alert, respond as follows:
- 1. Petitioning Organizations request an in-person argument. We further request, as we did previously, that the argument take place in Michigan, near the location of the Palisades Nuclear Plant. We note that the NRC has held numerous meetings and public hearings over the years near the Palisades Plant, including at least 4 or 5 just in the past year or so regarding the plan to restart Palisades. The plan to restart Palisades is of great interest to people in Michigan and it would be appropriate in the support of transparency to have the meeting in Michigan.
- 2. The only date suggested by the ASLB for the oral argument that is available to Petitioning Organizations counsel is January 14, 2025.
- 3. Petitioning Organizations have reviewed the response filed by Alan Blind on behalf of himself and others. It is not entirely clear what Mr. Blind is requesting regarding the conduct of the oral argument. To the extent that Mr. Blind is requesting a procedure
different from the usual procedure for oral arguments and a time limit on arguments, we respectfully request that the ASLB conduct the oral arguments in the usual manner.
