NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-344]


Portland General Electric Company; Eugene Water and Electric 
Board; Pacific Power and Light Company; Notice of Issuance of Amendment 
to Possession-Only License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 198 to Possession-Only License No. NPF-1 issued to 
Portland General Electric Company (the licensee), which revised the 
Possession-Only License for the Trojan Nuclear Plant located in 
Columbia County, Oregon, along the west bank of the Columbia River, 
near the town of Rainier, Oregon. The amendment is effective as of the 
date of issuance.
    The amendment modified the Trojan Nuclear Plant Possession-Only 
License to allow the processing of spent fuel debris in the Trojan Fuel 
Building.
    The application for the amendment complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license 
amendment.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this 
action was published in the Federal Register on February 7, 1997 (62 FR 
5860). Licensee subsequent submittals dated March 31, 1997 and April 9, 
1997 provided background information for clarification of several 
technical issues and were not outside the scope of the February 7, 1997 
notice. No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was 
filed following this notice. The Commission has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment related to the action and has determined not 
to prepare an environmental impact statement. Based upon the 
environmental assessment, the Commission has concluded that the 
issuance of the amendment will not have a significant effect on the 
quality of the human environment.
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated October 23, 1996, and supplemented by 
submittals dated December 12, 1996, March 31, 1997, and April 9, 1997, 
(2) Amendment No. 198 to License No. NPF-1, (3) the Commission's 
related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the Commission's Environmental 
Assessment. All of these
