COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–309]

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation,

Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company,

Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station;

Notice of Receipt of and Availability for

Comment of Post-Shutdown

Decommissioning Activities Report

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is in

receipt of and is making available for

public inspection and comment, the

Post-Shutdown Decommissioning

Activities Report (PSDAR) for the Maine

Yankee Atomic Power Station (Maine

Yankee) located in Lincoln County,

Maine.

Maine Yankee has been shut down

since December 6, 1996, and the reactor

has been defueled since June 20, 1997.

By letter dated August 7, 1997, Maine

Yankee Atomic Power Company (the

licensee) certified to the Commission

permanent cessation of power operation

at Maine Yankee and that fuel had been

permanently removed from the reactor.

By letter dated August 27, 1997, the

licensee submitted its PSDAR to the

Commission in accordance with the

requirements of 10 CFR 50.82.

In the PSDAR the licensee has

described the planned decommissioning

activities and schedule for the Maine

Yankee facility, provided an estimate of

expected costs and discussed the

reasons for concluding that the

environmental impacts associated with

site-specific decommissioning activities

are bounded by the appropriate

previously issued environmental impact

statements. The licensee has chosen to

decontaminate and dismantle the

facility in a manner that results in the

prompt removal of the existing nuclear

plant. This approach is referred to as the

DECON alternative. The licensee

intends to complete the

decontamination and dismantlement of

the majority of plant structures within

approximately seven years of cessation

of operations. The licensee intends to

construct an independent facility to

store the spent fuel on site until the fuel

can be permanently transferred offsite to

a Department of Energy facility.

The PSDAR is available for public

inspection at the local public document

room located at the Wiscasset Public

Library, High Street, Wiscasset, Maine

and at the Commission’s public

document room located at The Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW,

Washington, DC.

The Commission will schedule a

public meeting in the vicinity of the

Maine Yankee facility to solicit public

comments on the Maine Yankee PSDAR.

A notice will be published in the

Federal Register and in the local media

announcing the date, time and location

of this meeting.

Comments regarding the Maine

Yankee PSDAR should be submitted in

writing to Mr. Singh Bajwa, Mail Stop

11–B–20, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555

within 30 days after the date of this

notice.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day

of September 1997.

Prairie Island Nuclear Generating

Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, Notice of

Partial Denial of Amendments to

Facility Operating Licenses and

Opportunity for Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

denied a portion of a request by

Northern States Power Company (the

licensee) for amendments to Facility

Operating Licenses Nos. DPR–42 and

DPR–60 issued to the licensee for

operation of the Prairie Island Nuclear

Generating Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2,

located in Goodhue County, Minnesota.

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

these amendments was published in the

Federal Register on July 2, 1997 (62 FR

35850).

The purpose of the licensee’s

amendment request was to revise the

Technical Specifications to delete

limitations on crane operations in the

spent fuel pool enclosure relating to

spent fuel pool special ventilation

system operability and conform the

Technical Specifications to the guidance

of NUREG–1431, ‘‘Standard Technical

Specifications, Westinghouse Plants.’’

The NRC staff has concluded that a

portion of the licensee’s request cannot

be granted. The licensee was notified of

the Commission’s denial of the

proposed change by a letter dated

September 15, 1997.

By October 20, 1997, the licensee may

demand a hearing with respect to the

denial described above. Any person

whose interest may be affected by this

proceeding may file a written petition

for leave to intervene.

A request for hearing or petition for

leave to intervene must be filed with the

Secretary of the Commission, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555, Attention:

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, or

may be delivered to the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, by the above date.

for the licensee.
