Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(j)(1), the Licensing Board hereby advises the Commission and the participants to this proceeding that the issue of the proper treatment of potential nonpublic information in this proceeding continues to delay the issuance of a Board decision on the pending hearing request of petitioners Beyond Nuclear, Inc., and the Sierra Club, Inc. (collectively Petitioners). The Board will now endeavor to issue that decision on or before Friday, October 18, 2024.
Before Administrative Judges:
As the Board noted previously, however, the proper treatment of potential nonpublic information is an evolving matter that may engender further delay in the issuance of a Board decision regarding Petitioners hearing request. See Licensing Board Memorandum (Notice Regarding Issuance of Decision) (Aug. 8, 2024) at 1 (unpublished). Since mid-August, the Board has issued two protective orders regarding potential Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) that may be associated with documents in this proceeding,1 which currently are the subject of clarification/reconsideration motions from both applicant Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke) and the Petitioners.2 Additionally, on or before September 11, 2024, the Board anticipates receiving from the NRC Staff a comprehensive status report regarding its efforts to provide redactions of the nonpublic information subject to the protective orders and an estimated date when it will complete this task.3 The Board will apprise the Commission and the participants should circumstances make further delay in the issuance of the Boards decision necessary.
