1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1) (1988)

This LPDR is no longer needed and will

close effective March 16, 1996.

The Shoreham Public Library has

been the LPDR for the Shoreham

Nuclear Power Station since January

1979. Since that time the LPDR has

continued to maintain documents on

the construction through

decommissioning stages of the facility.

On April 11, 1995, NRC issued an order

terminating License Number NPF–82,

releasing the facility and site for

unrestricted use. Therefore, effective

March 16, 1996, the LPDR will be

closed.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day

of January 1996.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of Freedom of Information

and Publications Services, Office of

(License No. NPF–3)]

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station;

Toledo Edison Company; Receipt of

Petition for Director’s Decision Under

10 C.F.R. § 2.206

Notice is hereby given that by a

Petition dated December 5, 1995, filed

on behalf of the Toledo Coalition for

Safe Energy, Alice Hirt, Charlene

Johnston, Dini Schut, and William

Hoops (Petitioners), the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission was requested

to immediately issue orders to prevent

the loading of spent nuclear fuel into

the VECTRA Technologies Inc.,

NUHOMS–24P dry shielded canisters

(DSCs) at the Davis-Besse nuclear power

station until an NRC rulemaking and/or

license modification hearing is

conducted on all safety-related changes

which have been made to the canisters,

as described in the Safety Analysis

Report. Also, the NRC was requested not

to authorize any loading of the canisters

until a written procedure for unloading

in both urgent and nonurgent

circumstances is written, approved, and

field-tested.

Petitioners contend that the safety of

the canisters has been compromised

because of reduction in the thickness of

the canister welds. In addition, they

claim that the NRC administrative

process by which permission was

granted for VECTRA to deliver the

canisters to the Davis-Besse station and

for the canisters to be used on site are

legally suspect, expressing the belief

that agency rulemaking or some other

public proceeding is necessary for

permission for such a transfer and use

to be granted.

The Petition is being treated pursuant

to 10 C.F.R. § 2.206 of the Commission’s

regulations. The Petition has been

referred to the Director of the Office of

Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

As provided by Section 2.206,

appropriate action will be taken on this

Petition within a reasonable time. By

letter dated December 18, 1995, the

Director denied the Petitioners’ request

for immediate action on the Petition.

A copy of the Petition is available for

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20555.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 23rd day

of January 1996.
