In your written response, you stated that NRC should reject the petition, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2.206 (10 CFR 2.206) and consistent with NRC Management Directive 8.11, in that the NRC will not review a petition where allegations have already been the subject of NRC Staff review and present no significant new information.

The government-wide standards of conduct regulations require NRC employees to disqualify themselves from participating in particular matters involving parties that they know are likely to affect the financial interests of anyone they served, within the last year, as an employee, unless they receive authorization. There are no other legal restrictions on an NRC employee's involvement in matters affecting their former employers. The NRC maintains an open, collaborative working environment that encourages all employees to promptly voice differing views, which could include views related to any plant including Callaway.
