NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 70-143-CO; ASLBP No. 07-857-01-CO-BD01]


Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc.; Establishment of Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board

    Pursuant to delegation by the Commission dated December 29, 1972, 
published in the Federal Register, 37 FR 28,710 (1972), and the 
Commission's regulations, see 10 CFR 2.104, 2.300, 2.303, 2.309, 2.311, 
2.318, and 2.321, notice is hereby given that an Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board is being established to preside over the following 
proceeding:

Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., Special Nuclear Materials Facility 
(Confirmatory Order)

    This Board is being established in response to requests for hearing 
that were filed pursuant to a Notice of Publication of Confirmatory 
Order and Opportunity for Hearing (72 Fed. Reg. 41,528 (July 30, 
2007)), regarding a Confirmatory Order issued to Nuclear Fuel Services, 
Inc. (``NFS'') on February 21, 2007 that became immediately effective 
on the date of issuance. This proceeding arose from inspections and 
investigations at NSF by the NRC Staff that identified apparent 
violations for which escalated enforcement action was considered. The 
NRC Staff determined that its concerns regarding public health and 
safety could be resolved through confirmation of NFS's commitments as 
prescribed in the Confirmatory Order. Hearing requests have been 
submitted by: (1) Ken Silver, (2) R. Feher, (3) Linda Cataldo Modica on 
behalf of the Sierra Club, (4) Wanda Sue Kelley, (5) Barbara A. O'Neal, 
and (6) A. Christine Tipton.
    The Board is comprised of the following administrative judges:
    Lawrence G. McDade, Chair, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, 
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
    Dr. Richard F. Cole, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
    Dr. Peter S. Lam, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
    All correspondence, documents, and other materials shall be filed 
with the administrative judges in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302.

    Issued at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of August 2007.
