At this late stage in the development of these cases, the clerk's office has received a motion to intervene in the action by Mr. William Peterson, who asserts an interest in processing spent nuclear fuel. The clerk's office did not file the proffered submission because it did not comport with this court's rules, but rather forwarded the submission to chambers for disposition. The court concurs that the submission should not be filed and directs the clerk to return the proffered submission to Mr. Peterson. In addition to a failure to comply with the court's rules for serving and filing pleadings and other papers, see, e.g., Rules 5, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 of the Rules 1
