determined that it is extremely unlikely

that such an accident could occur;

furthermore, the licensee has radiation

monitors, as required by General Design

Criterion 63, in fuel storage and

handling areas. These monitors will

alert personnel to excessive radiation

levels and allow them to initiate

appropriate safety actions. The low

probability of an inadvertent criticality,

together with the licensee’s adherence

to General Design Criterion 63,

constitutes good cause for granting an

exemption to the requirements of 10

CFR 70.24.

IV

The Commission has determined that,

pursuant to 10 CFR 70.14, this

exemption is authorized by law, will not

endanger life or property or the common

defense and security, and is otherwise

in the public interest. Therefore, the

Commission hereby grants Pacific Gas

and Electric Company an exemption

from the requirements of 10 CFR 70.24.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the

Commission has determined that the

granting of this exemption will have no

significant impact on the environment

(62 FR 59907).

This exemption is effective upon

issuance.

For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day

of November 1997.

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor
