The Board will allot 20 minutes to each participant, with the first 5 minutes reserved for the participant to make an opening statement, and the remaining 15 minutes reserved for the Boards questions.2 The Board will hear first from Petitioning Organizations, then Joint Petitioners, the Applicants, and the NRC Staff. After the Board has completed its questioning of all participants, the Board will provide an opportunity for closing statements, hearing from the participants in the same order. Each participant will be allotted 5 minutes for a closing statement. Petitioning Organizations and Joint Petitioners will have an additional 2 minutes each for rebuttal.
On or before noon ET on February 5, 2025, one representative for each participant shall email the Boards law clerk, Georgia Rock (Georgia.Rock@nrc.gov), with a copy to Panel administrative assistant Twana Ellis (Twana.Ellis@nrc.gov) and all other participants, specifying the names and preferred titles of the persons who will be presenting argument and of any others attending on behalf of each participant.
