Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, et al., Maine Yankee Atomic 
Power Station; Notice of Receipt and Availability for Comment of 
License Termination Plan

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is in receipt of and is 
making available for public inspection and comment the License 
Termination Plan (LTP) for the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station 
(MYAPS) located in Lincoln County, Maine.
    Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (MYAPC, or the licensee) 
announced permanent cessation of power operations of MYAPS on August 7, 
1997. In accordance with NRC regulations, MYAPC submitted a Post-
Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) for MYAPS to the NRC 
on August 27, 1997. The facility is undergoing active decontamination 
and dismantlement.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(9), all power reactor licensees 
must submit an application for termination of their license. The 
application for termination of license must be accompanied or preceded 
by an LTP to be submitted for NRC approval. If found acceptable by the 
NRC staff, the LTP is approved by license amendment, subject to such 
conditions and limitations as the NRC staff deems appropriate and 
necessary. MYAPC submitted the proposed LTP for MYAPS by application 
dated January 13, 2000. In accordance with 10 CFR 20.1405 and 10 CFR 
50.82(a)(9)(iii), the NRC is providing notice to individuals in the 
vicinity of the site that the NRC is in receipt of the MYAPS LTP, and 
will accept comments from affected parties. In accordance with 10 CFR 
50.82(a)(9)(iii), the NRC is also providing notice that the NRC staff 
will conduct a meeting to discuss the MYAPS LTP on Monday, May 15, 
2000, at 7:00 p.m. at Wiscasset High School, Wiscasset, Maine.
    The MYAPS LTP is available for public inspection at the
