NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-029]

 

Yankee Atomic Electric Company; Yankee Nuclear Power Station; 
Issuance of Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant 
Impact

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is 
considering issuing an order authorizing the decommissioning of the 
Yankee Nuclear Power Station (YNPS or plant), that is licensed to the 
Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC or the licensee) located in 
Franklin County, Massachusetts.

Description of Proposed Action

    YNPS has been shut down since October 1, 1991, and was defueled 
during February 1992.

Finding of No Significant Impact

    The staff has reviewed the proposed decommissioning against the 
requirements in 10 CFR Part 51. Upon conducting an Environmental 
Assessment, the staff concluded that no significant environmental 
impacts are associated with the proposed SAFSTOR and DECON 
decommissioning and that the proposed decommissioning will not 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, 
the Commission has determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.13, not to prepare 
an environmental impact statement for the proposed decommissioning of 
the YNPS.
    The following documents contain further details on this action: (1) 
The application from the licensee of December 20, 1993, as supplemented 
August 5, August 22, October 24, and October 26, 1994; (2) the 
Commission's related Safety Evaluation; and (3) the Commission's 
Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Non-Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate,
