UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judges:

Paul S. Ryerson, Chairman E. Roy Hawkens Dr. Sue H. Abreu In the Matter of Docket Nos. EA-20-006 and EA-20-007 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY ASLBP No. 21-969-01-EA-BD01 (Enforcement Action) July 1, 2021 Order (Scheduling Prehearing Conference)

The Board will conduct a prehearing conference by telephone on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 at 10:00 AM EDT for the purpose of discussing administrative details concerning the evidentiary hearing presently scheduled to begin on October 18, 2021.1 After considering the views of the parties, the Board contemplates issuing a Prehearing Order. In addition to such other issues as the Board or the parties may raise at the conference, the parties should be prepared to address:

1. Should the hearing be conducted in person or virtually? Or as a hybrid? If conducted wholly or partially in person, where?

2. Format for submitting pre-filed written testimony and exhibits.

3. Expected stipulations.

4. Expected Motions:

a. Summary disposition?

1 Licensing Board Order (Granting Joint Motion for Schedule Extension) (April 2, 2021)

(unpublished).

b. Motions in limine?

c. Other?

5. The Board presently expects that all witnesses who submit pre-filed written testimony will be available for oral examination. The parties should not expect joint motions to excuse one or more witnesses will necessarily be granted, as the Board may wish to examine a witness regardless of whether opposing counsel waives cross-examination.

6. Does either party intend to invoke Rule 615 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, concerning the prevention of witnesses from hearing the testimony of prior witnesses?

Insofar as practicable, the parties are encouraged to confer and to be prepared to present joint recommendations on such issues.

The Boards law clerk, Ian Curry, will send an e-mail to counsel containing the telephone number and passcode for participating in the prehearing conference. Members of the public or media who wish to listen to the conference call may do so, and should contact Mr. Curry by email at Ian.Curry@nrc.gov for the requisite information.

It is so ORDERED.
