NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 

All Boiling-Water Reactors Issuance of Director's Decision Under 
10 CFR 2.206

    Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation, has taken action with regard to a Petition by Mr. Paul M. 
Blanch for action under 10 CFR 2.206. The Petition, dated August 12, 
1993, pertains to all boiling-water reactors (BWRs).
    The Petitioner requested that the NRC institute a proceeding 
pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 and require that the licensees of all BWRs 
take certain actions with regard to the reactor vessel water level 
instrumentation. The Petitioner requested that the licensee of each BWR 
either conclusively demonstrate the operability of the condensate pots 
and associated level instruments, interlocks, and emergency core 
cooling system functions or be granted a plant-specific license 
exemption with a plant-specific safety analysis. The Petitioner further 
requested that, if operability cannot be demonstrated and the NRC does 
not grant plant-specific relief from the regulations, each plant comply 
with the action statements of the plant's technical specifications for 
inoperable level instrumentation.
    The Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has determined 
to deny the petition. The reasons for this denial are explained in the 
``Director's Decision Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206'' (DD-94-07), which is 
available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document 
Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20555. 
A copy of the Decision will be filed with the Secretary of the 
Commission for the Commission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 
2.206(c) of the Commission's regulations. As provided by this 
regulation, the Decision will constitute the final action of the 
Commission 25 days after the date of issuance unless the Commission on 
its own motion institutes a review of the Decision within that time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of June 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William T. Russell,
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
