[Docket No. 50–271; License No. DPR–28]
Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC
and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.;
Receipt of Request for Action Under 10
CFR 2.206
Notice is hereby given that by petition
dated May 3, 2005, the New England
Coalition (NEC or the petitioner) has
requested that the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
take action with regard to the Vermont
Yankee Nuclear Power Station (Vermont
Yankee). The NEC petition requested
that the NRC promptly restore
reasonable assurance of adequate
protection of public health and safety
with regard to the fire barriers in
electrical cable protection systems at
Vermont Yankee, or otherwise to order
a derate of Vermont Yankee until such
time as the operability of the fire
barriers can be assured. Specifically, the
petition requested that the Commission
take the following actions: (1) Require
Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee
(ENVY) to promptly conduct a review at
Vermont Yankee to determine the extent
of condition, including a full inventory
of the type, amount, application, and
placement of Hemyc, and an assessment
of the safety significance of each
application; (2) require ENVY to
promptly provide justification for
operation in nonconformance with 10
CFR Part 50, Appendix R; and (3) upon
finding that Vermont Yankee is
operating in an unanalyzed condition
and/or that assurance of public health
and safety is degraded, promptly order
a power reduction (derate) of Vermont
PO 00000
Frm 00108
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Yankee until such time as it can be
demonstrated that ENVY is operating in
conformance with 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix R, and all other applicable
regulations.
The request is being treated pursuant
to Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), Section 2.206, of
the Commission’s regulations. The
request has been referred to the Director
of the Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation. As provided by 10 CFR
2.206, appropriate action will be taken
on this petition within a reasonable
time. Mr. Raymond Shadis, in his
capacity as the petitioner’s Staff
Technical Advisor, participated in a
telephone conference call with the
NRC’s Petition Review Board (PRB) on
May 17, 2005, to discuss the petition.
The results of that discussion were
considered in the PRB’s determination
regarding the petitioner’s request for
action and in establishing the schedule
for the review of the petition. During the
May 17, 2005, PRB conference call, the
petitioner requested that the licensee
review fire barriers beyond the Hemyc
electric raceway fire barrier system. This
request will not be accepted under the
2.206 process because the petitioner did
not provide adequate information to
justify expanding the scope of the
review.
A copy of the petition and the
transcript of the telephone conference
call are available for inspection at the
Commission’s Public Document Room
(PDR), located at One White Flint North,
Public File Area O1 F21, 11555
Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
Maryland, and from the NRC’s
Agencywide Documents Access and

have access to ADAMS or who
