NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-228-LT; ASLBP No. 14-931-01-LT-BD01]
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; Before Administrative Judge:
E. Roy Hawkens, Presiding Officer; In the Matter of Aerotest
Operations, Inc. (Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor); Notice of
Hearing (Notice of Closed Evidentiary Hearing)
July 29, 2014.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hereby gives notice that it
will convene an evidentiary hearing pursuant to the 10 CFR 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
CFR 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 ARRR's spent fuel. See Memorandum and Order (Ruling on
Admissibility of Areas of Controversy) at 2 (May 22, 2014).\1\
