NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–245]

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company,

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit

1; Issuance of Partial Director’s

Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206

Notice is hereby given that the Acting

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor

Regulation, has issued a Partial

Director’s Decision with regard to a

Petition dated August 21, 1995, and

supplemented on August 28, 1995,

submitted by Mr. George Galatis and We

the People, Inc. (the Petitioners),

requesting action under 10 CFR 2.206.

The Petition pertains to Millstone

Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, operated

by Northeast Nuclear Energy Company

(Licensee).

The Petitioners requested that the

NRC (1) suspend the license for the

Millstone Unit 1 facility for a period of

60 days after the unit is brought into

compliance with the license and the

design basis; (2) revoke the operating

license until the facility is in full

compliance with the terms and

conditions of its license; (3) perform a

detailed independent analysis of the

offsite dose consequences of the total

loss of spent fuel pool water; and (4)

take enforcement action pursuant to 10

CFR 50.5 and 50.9. As bases for their

requests, the Petitioners raised the

following three issues: (1) The Licensee

has knowingly, willingly, and flagrantly

operated Millstone Unit 1 in violation of

License Amendments Nos. 39 and 40;

(2) License Amendments Nos. 39 and 40

for Millstone Unit 1 are based on

material false statements made by the

Licensee in documents submitted to the

NRC; and (3) the license amendment

proposed in a letter dated July 28, 1995,

should be denied and the Licensee

should be required to operate in full

conformance with License Amendment

No. 40. Issue 3 was determined to be a

request for a licensing action and so was

beyond the scope of 10 CFR 2.206.

The Acting Director of the Office of

Nuclear Reactor Regulation has partially

granted Requests 1, 2, and 3 of the

Petition. The reasons for this decision

are explained in the ‘‘Partial Director’s

Decision Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206’’

(DD–96–23), the complete text of which

follows this notice. With regard to

Petitioner’s Request 4, the NRC staff

activities are not yet complete. A Final

Director’s Decision will be issued upon

completion of NRC activities in this

area.

A copy of this Partial Director’s

Decision will be available for public

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street, NW., Washington, D.C.,

and at the local public document room

located at the Learning Resources

Center, Three Rivers CommunityTechnical College, 574 New London

Turnpike, Norwich, Connecticut, and at

the temporary local public document

room located at the Waterford Library,

ATTN: Vince Juliano, 49 Rope Ferry

Road, Waterford, Connecticut.

A copy of this Partial Director’s

Decision has been filed with the

Secretary of the Commission for review

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206(c) of

the Commission’s regulations. This

Decision will become the final action of

the Commission (for Petitioners’

requests dispositioned in this Partial

Director’s Decision) 25 days after the

date of issuance unless the Commission,

on its own motion, institutes review of

the Decision within that time.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day

of December 1996.
