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.

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.
