NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–293]

Boston Edison Company; Pilgrim

Nuclear Power Station; Environmental

Assessment and Finding of No

Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering approval under 10 CFR

50.80, by issuance of an Order, of the

transfer of control of Facility Operating

License No. DPR–35, for the Pilgrim

Nuclear Power Station, located in

Plymouth County, Massachusetts, to the

extent such transfer would be effected

by the proposed corporate restructuring

of Boston Edison Company (BECo, the

licensee), holder of the license.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action would consent to

the transfer of control of the license, to

the extent effected by the restructuring

of BECo by establishment of a newly

created holding company, BEC Energy.

BECo would become a wholly owned

subsidiary of the holding company and

would continue to be the licensee for

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. No

direct transfer of the license would

occur. The proposed action is in

accordance with BECo’s application

dated June 9, 1997.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action is needed to the

extent the proposed restructuring of

BECo will effect a transfer of control of

the license to permit the restructuring to

occur. BECo has submitted that the

proposed restructuring will enable it to

better prepare to implement changes

resulting from electric utility industry

restructuring, and will enhance the

insulation of BECo’s utility business

from business risks associated with nonutility enterprises.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The Commission has completed its

evaluation of the proposed corporate

restructuring and concludes that there

will be no physical or operational

changes to the Pilgrim Nuclear Power

Station. The corporate restructuring will

not affect the qualifications or

organizational affiliation of the

personnel who operate or maintain the

facility, as BECo will continue to be

responsible for the operation,

maintenance and possession of the

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.

The Commission has evaluated the

environmental impact of the proposed

action and has determined that the

probability or consequences of accidents

would not be increased by the proposed

action, and that post-accident

radiological releases would not be

greater than previously determined.

Further, the Commission has

determined that the proposed action

would not affect routine radiological

exposure. Accordingly, the Commission

concludes that there are no significant

radiological environmental impacts

associated with the proposed action.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action would not affect nonradiological

plant effluents and would have no other

environmental impact. Therefore, the

Commission concludes that there are no

significant nonradiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

Since the Commission concluded that

there are no significant environmental

effects that would result from the

proposed action, any alternative with

equal or greater environmental impacts

need not be evaluated.

The principal alternative would be to

deny the requested action. Denial of the

application would result in no change

in current environmental impacts. The

environmental impacts of the proposed

action and the alternative action are

identical.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statement for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power

Station, dated May 1972.

Agencies and Persons Contacted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on December 9, 1997, the staff consulted

with the Massachusetts State Official,

James Muckerheide, of the

Massachusetts Emergency Management

Agency regarding the environmental

impact of the proposed action. The State

official had no comments.
