July 06, 2006 MEMORANDUM TO: Keith I. McConnell, Deputy Director Decommissioning Directorate Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM: John Hickman, Project Manager /RA/

SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF THE JUNE 22, 2006, MEETING BETWEEN THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF AND YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY REGARDING THE YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION GROUNDWATER MONITORING On June 22, 2006, a public meeting was held at the NRC Headquarters between staff from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC) to discuss the groundwater monitoring program and the incorporation of the monitoring data into the License Termination Plan (LTP) for the Yankee Nuclear Power Station (Yankee).

YAEC provided background information on the site decommissioning status, the site end state, and the groundwater monitoring conducted to date. The licensee then provided a presentation on the current groundwater monitoring plan including a Fate and Transport model that will be developed. YAEC also discussed their closure criteria for groundwater relative to the LTP. In particular, that a resident farmer would draw water from a well placed at the highest tritium location, screened to provide 0.7 gpm, and the tritium concentration in that draw would be less than or equal to 20,000 pCI/L.

Multiple clarifying questions were asked regarding the licensees groundwater sampling program and reports. A subsequent meeting on the subject will be considered for September, which a member of the public requested be held in the vicinity of the site. Questions were also asked regarding other radionuclides identified in earlier sampling, which had since been remediated.

The meeting attendance list and a copy of the slides used by the licensee for their presentation is attached. This meeting was noticed on June 9, 2006. No proprietary information was disseminated or presented at this meeting. No regulatory decisions were requested or made.
