Box 968 3000 George Washington Way Richland, Washington 99352
Dear Mr. Sorensen:
The petitioner requested that the NRC fix or close all nuclear power reactors designed by General Electric Company.
As discussed in the enclosed Director's Decision, the Petitioner's request under 10 CFR 2.206 has been denied.
The petitioner also expressed concern that GE is pursuing a "standardized" Advanced Boiling Water Reactor design which petitioner alleges fails to address many of the shortcomings identified by GE's own engineers as far back as the 1975 Reed Report.
The petitioner was informed that the staff has not yet completed its safety evaluation for advanced boiling water reactor designs, nor has any utility applied for a license to build or operate an advanced boiling water reactor.
Sincerely, original signed by Charles M. Trammell Charles M. Trammell, Acting Director Project Directorate V
Division of Reactor Projects - III IV, V and Special Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
