January 30, 2008 MEMORANDUM TO: Andrea Kock, Chief Performance Assessment Branch Environmental Protection and Performance Assessment Directorate Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection FROM: Andrew Persinko, Chief /RA/

Reactor Decommissioning Branch Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery and Licensing Directorate Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection

SUBJECT:

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST - REVIEW OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON REQUEST TO RELEASE THE OFF-SHORE PIPING OF SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATION STATION UNIT 1 (TAC J60569)

San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station Unit 1 (SONGS-1) ceased operation in 1992 and began active decommissioning in 1997. As part of the site remediation, Southern California Edison (SCE) planned to remove the Unit 1 cooling piping that lies off shore. The State of California conducted an environmental review and determined that the piping should stay in place.

Therefore, SCE is submitting a request to NRC to release the piping in place for unrestricted use according to provision of 10 CFR 50.83.

Over the past year and a half, PAB staff supported DURLD by working with the licensee to specify what information is necessary for NRC to make a licensing decision on partial site release of an impacted area. We request that PAB provide further support by reviewing the SCE submittal dated December 19, 2007, and providing a conclusion by February 25, 2008, on whether or not SCE has demonstrated compliance with the release criteria specified in 10 CFR 20.1402.

Mr. James Shepherd of my staff is the Project Manager for this licensing action, and he can be reached at (301) 415-6712. Please direct any questions to him. Also, please provide me with the name(s) of the technical reviewer(s) who will be conducting this review. The TAC number above should be for recording staff time expended on this effort.
