NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-029]

 

Yankee Atomic Electric Company; Yankee Nuclear Power Station; 
Notice of Receipt of Decommissioning Plan and Decommissioning 
Environmental Report and Opportunity for Public Comments

    By letter dated December 20, 1993, Yankee Atomic Electric Company 
(YAEC or the licensee) submitted the Decommissioning Plan and 
Environmental Report describing the decommissioning of the Yankee 
Nuclear Power Station (YNPS or the plant). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission is required by its regulation 10 CFR 50.82(e) to provide 
notice to interested persons prior to approval of the Decommissioning 
Plan. The licensee is the holder of facility Possession Only License 
No. DPR-3 that was issued on August 5, 1992. The permanently shutdown 
plant is located in Franklin County, Massachusetts.
    The Decommissioning Plan does not contain any requests for 
amendments to the Yankee Nuclear Power Station Possession-Only License; 
therefore, under 10 CFR part 2 of Commission regulations, an 
opportunity for a hearing is not being offered by this notice. 
Interested persons are invited to submit written comments or questions 
on the Decommissioning Plan or Environmental Report. Any written 
comments should be limited to the contents of the Decommissioning Plan 
and Environmental Report. The staff will review and consider all 
comments that are received before taking final action on the proposed 
Decommissioning Plan. Written comments should be submitted within 120 
days of the publication date of this notice and addressed to: Morton 
Fairtile, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
    In addition, the NRC is planning a public meeting to be held in the 
vicinity of the plant within approximately eight months of date of 
receipt of the Decommissioning Plan and prior to taking final action. 
The meeting will be given sufficient advance notice in the newspapers 
in the plant vicinity to provide interested members of the public an 
opportunity to attend and provide comments with respect to the 
Decommissioning Plan.
    A previous public meeting was held on June 9, 1993 to discuss the 
licensee plan for component removal prior to NRC approval of the 
Decommissioning Plan. The public meeting described in this notice will 
be confined to the Decommissioning Plan and Environmental Report.
    Copies of the Decommissioning Plan and Environmental Report are 
available at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman 
Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555 and at the Local 
Public Document Room located at the Greenfield Community College, 1 
College Drive, Greenfield, Massachusetts 01301.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of March 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Seymour H. Weiss,
Director, Non-Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate, 
Division of Operating Reactor Support.
