- May 4~ 1981 Harol.d R. Denton, Director United States Nuclear Regtilatory *Commission.....
Office of Nuclear Reacto*r *Regulation Washington, D. *.c. 20555 Dear Sirs SALEM NUCLEAR GEN'EHATING STATION UNIT #1._ DOCKE~ _NO.- 5~-272 RERA.CKING SPE'IT FUEL POOL During the hearing held*.in Bethesda, Maryland on April JO, 1981.
(oral*- argument* was presented. before the Atomic Safety ~ Licens-ing A,ppeal *Board regarding the proposed. *storage expansion of
- the spent.fuel. pool..;. reracking -. at 'the Salem Nuclear*. *
- Generating Station Unit *i¥1)_ we made an oral application to.
preserve status quo of the*_ reracking {which we understand is about J8% complete) *
- We* informed the ASLAB that th~* Applicant (Public Se~vice
- Electric &*Gas) *was **in tli.e _process of *reracking.the Salem_*#l
- spent-. fuel pool.
- Chairman Christine Kohl denied our oral motion and.re'commended
- .that we put. in writing* our request,to en"joiri the applicant.
until :sµch time as this:* appe*a1 has been resolved.
The Applicant *ha:s proceede.d with arrogant confidence *from the*
beginning; i.e.; -ordering the racks either before the.applica- -
tion was filed or at.least during the proceedings.*. The Applicant cont.inues as if to be above the *law.
We.. _find it..
extremely difficult to.understand how the applicant.can rerack whil~ a:ri appeal is pending resolution..
. It was our understanding~ that an initial decision directing an amendment to"an operating license would become ef'.feci;;ive unless a party had shown* good. cause,. subject to review by* the_ Commis'sion.
(Atomic *Safety & Licensing Appeal Board) upon. exception's filed. by any party pursuant to Title 10
- CFR Part 2. ?62.
If th~ Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation or. the Director of.
Nuclear Material Saf*ety & Safeguards, *as appropr1a.te issued.. an ame11.dment to. operatfng lic_ense for "Salem.#1, *authorizing the.
Applicant.to rerack the spent fuel poor, within ten (10. days from
. the date of issuance of the decision, we would appr_eciate a copy.
We have not seen-any writtenpermission allowing the Applicant to
. 'rerack; therefore,(we motion for an injunction to preserve. status quo and *suggest immediate* disciplinary penal ties be' invoked.
Very trulJ( yours,
~
