Notice of Issuance of Director’s
Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206
Notice is hereby given that the
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or Commission) has
issued a Director’s Decision with regard
to a Petition dated January 25, 2006,
filed pursuant to Section 2.206 of Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR) by the Union of Concerned
Scientists and numerous other
organizations and individuals,
hereinafter referred to as the
‘‘Petitioners.’’ The Petition concerns
leaks of radioactively contaminated
water into the ground around NRClicensed facilities.
The Petition requested that the NRC
take immediate action to issue Demands
for Information (DFIs) to research, test,
and power reactors to obtain responses
to specific questions regarding leaks or
potential leaks of radioactively
contaminated water into the ground.
As the basis for their request, the
Petitioners pointed to radioactive leaks
found during the last few years at
several nuclear power plants.
By teleconference on April 5, 2006,
the Petitioners discussed the Petition
with the NRC’s Petition Review Board.
This teleconference gave the Petitioners
an opportunity to provide additional
information and to clarify issues raised
in the Petition.
The NRC staff sent a copy of the
proposed Director’s Decision to the
Petitioners and to the Nuclear Energy
Institute for comment by letters dated
June 28, 2006. The Petitioners submitted
comments by letter dated July 20, 2006,
and these comments are addressed in
the final Director’s Decision.
The Director of the Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation has determined that
the Petitioners’ request to obtain
information on groundwater
contamination is granted, in part. The
request to obtain the information by
issuing DFIs is denied. The reasons for
this decision are explained in the
Director’s Decision pursuant to 10 CFR
2.206 (DD–06–03), the complete text of
which is available for inspection at the
Commission’s Public Document Room,
located at One White Flint North, Public
File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike

most recent job title and whether their
employer is a seasonal employer. Nonburden impacting changes are proposed
to the certification statements of Form(s)
AA–3cert and AA–3 that are intended to
provide additional specificity regarding
post-application events that require an
applicant to contact the RRB. Other nonburden impacting, editorial
(clarification) and formatting changes to
Form AA–3cert and Form AA–3 are also
proposed.
The burden estimate for this ICR is
unchanged as follows:
