The petition was docketed by the NRC on September 19, 2006, and has been assigned Docket No. PRM-51- 10.

The petitioner is seeking the generic treatment of spent fuel pool hazards because he believes that a pool accident at any operating nuclear power plant in the New England and Mid-Atlantic states could significantly affect the health, environmental, and economic well-being of Massachusetts.
