UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judge:
E. Roy Hawkens Presiding Officer In the Matter of Docket No. 50-228-LT AEROTEST OPERATIONS, INC. ASLBP No. 14-931-01-LT-BD01 (Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor) July 29, 2014 NOTICE OF HEARING (Notice of Closed Evidentiary Hearing)
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hereby gives notice that it will convene an evidentiary hearing pursuant to the 10 C.F.R. Part 2, Subpart M procedures to receive testimony and exhibits in the proceeding regarding the license transfer application of Aerotest Operations, Inc. and its proposed transferee, Nuclear Labyrinth, LLC (together, the Companies). Because the testimony will focus on proprietary information regarding whether the Companies satisfy financial qualification requirements for a license transfer under 10 C.F.R. § 50.33(f), the hearing will be closed to the public.
I. Matters to Be Considered As set forth by the Licensing Board in its May 2014 Memorandum and Order Ruling on Admissibility of Areas of Controversy, there are two litigable areas of controversy in this proceeding: (1) whether the Staff correctly concluded that the Companies failed to demonstrate that they have, or with reasonable assurance will have, sufficient funding to conduct activities authorized by the Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor (ARRR) license if the license is indirectly transferred; and (2) whether the Staff correctly concluded that the Companies failed to demonstrate that there will be sufficient funds to cover the annual cost of spent fuel storage until
the Department of Energy accepts ARRRs spent fuel. See Memorandum and Order (Ruling on Admissibility of Areas of Controversy) at 2 (May 22, 2014).1 II. Date, Time, and Location of Evidentiary Hearing The evidentiary hearing will commence at 10:00 AM Eastern Time (ET) on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 in the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panels Rockville Hearing Room and, if practicable, will continue that day until complete.

Availability of Documentary Information Regarding the Proceeding Documents related to this proceeding are available for public inspection at the Commissions Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, or electronically via the publicly-available records component of NRCs document system (ADAMS).
