NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 52–016–COL; ASLBP No. 09– 

874–02–COL–BD01] 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; 

Calvert Cliffs 3 Nuclear Project, LLC, 

and UniStar Nuclear Operating 

Services, LLC; Combined License 

Application for Calvert Cliffs Unit 3 

November 9, 2011. 

Before Administrative Judges: Ronald M. 

Spritzer, Chairman, Dr. Gary S. Arnold, Dr. 

William W. Sager. 

Notice 

Notice of Evidentiary Hearing and 

Opportunity To Provide Oral and 

Written Limited Appearance Statements 

The Atomic Safety and Licensing 

Board hereby gives notice that it will 

convene an evidentiary session to 

receive testimony and exhibits in the 

contested portion of this proceeding 

regarding the application (COLA) by 

Calvert Cliffs 3 Nuclear Project, L.L.C., 

and UniStar Nuclear Operating Services, 

L.L.C. (Applicants) for a combined 

license (COL) to construct and operate 

one U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor 

(U.S. EPR) to be located adjacent to the 

existing Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power 

Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2, near 

Lusby, Calvert County, Maryland. In 

addition, the Board gives notice that, in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.315(a), it will 

entertain oral and written limited 

appearance statements from members of 

the public in connection with this 

proceeding. 

I. Matter To Be Considered 

This evidentiary hearing will consider 

one environmental contention, 

Contention 10C. Contention 10C, as 

restated by the Board, alleges that: 

The DEIS discussion of a combination of 

alternatives is inadequate and faulty. By 

selecting a single alternative that under 

represents potential contributions of wind 

and solar power, the combination alternative 

depends excessively on the natural gas 

supplement, thus unnecessarily burdening 

this alternative with excessive environmental 

impacts.1

II. Date, Time, and Location of 

Environmental Portion of the Contested 

Hearing 

The evidentiary hearing will 

commence at 9:30 a.m., Eastern 

Standard Time (EST) on Thursday, 

January 26, 2012, at the Albright 

Building, 205 Main Street, Prince 

Frederick, Maryland 20678. The hearing 

will resume at 9:30 a.m. EST on Friday, 

January 27, 2012, if necessary. Parties 

and members of the public are requested 

to park in the offsite parking lot, which 

is within walking distance of the 

hearing venue, located at 200 Duke 

Street, Prince Frederick, Maryland 

20678. 

Members of the public and 

representatives of the media are 

welcome to attend and observe this 

evidentiary hearing. However, all signs, 

banners, posters, demonstrations, and 

displays are prohibited in accordance 

with NRC policy.2

All individuals attending the 

evidentiary hearing are advised that 

security measures will be employed at 

the entrance to the facility. As such, all 

individuals attending the evidentiary 

hearing should bring at least one form 

of government issued photo 

identification, refrain from bringing any 

unnecessary hand-carried items that 

might need to be examined 

individually, and allow sufficient time 

for security screening. 

III. Date, Time, and Location of Oral 

Limited Appearance Statement Session 

An oral limited appearance statement 

session regarding this Calvert Cliffs 

evidentiary hearing proceeding will be 

held on Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 

from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST and from 

7 to 8:30 p.m. EST at the Calvert Marine 

Museum, 14150 Solomons Island Road, 

Solomons, MD 20688. 

Members of the public and 

representatives of the media are 

welcome to attend, observe, and 

participate in this oral limited 

appearance statement session, as 

outlined below. As required by NRC 

policy, signs, banners, posters, and 

displays not larger than 18′′ x 18′′ will 

be permitted at the oral limited 

appearance statement session, but may 

not be waved or held over one’s head. 

Any sign, banner, poster or display 

affixed to a stick, or similar device, will 

not be permitted at the oral limited 

appearance statement session.3

All individuals attending the oral 

limited appearance statement session 

are advised that security measures will 

be employed at the entrance to the 

facility. As such, all individuals 

attending the oral limited appearance 

statement session should bring at least

IV. Participation Guidelines for Oral 

Limited Appearance Statements 

Any person not a party, or the 

representative of a party, to this 

mandatory hearing proceeding will be 

permitted to make an oral statement 

setting forth his or her position on 

matter of concern relating to the 

proceeding. Though these statements do 

not constitute testimony or evidence, 

they nonetheless may aid the Board 

and/or the parties in their consideration 

of the issues involved in this 

evidentiary hearing. 

Oral limited appearance statements 

will be entertained during the hours 

specified above. In the event that all 

scheduled and unscheduled speakers

presentation, the Board reserves the 

right to terminate the session prior to 

the ending time listed above. 

The time allotted for each limited 

appearance statement will be five 

minutes, but may be further limited 

depending on the number of written 

requests to make an oral statement that 

are submitted in accordance with 

section V below and/or the number or 

persons present at the designated time, 

so as to ensure that everyone will have 

an opportunity to speak.
