UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SECRETARY Mr. Lawrence H. (Pompey) Delafield President Six Ponds Improvement Association 76 Morgan Road Plymouth, MA 02360
Dear Mr. Delafield:
August 29, 2019 On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your letter of August 20, 2019, to the Commission regarding the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station license transfer request from Entergy and Holtec (Docket Nos. 50-593 and 72-1044). In your letter, you request that the NRC delay its decision on the license transfer application until after the Commission rules upon the license transfer intervention petition filed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The license transfer was approved on August 22, 2019.
Because your letter bears on the contested adjudication pending before the Commission, it would be inappropriate for the Commissioners to discuss or comment on the matter at this time.
This is because the Commission must remain impartial during the pendency of the adjudication.
A copy of your letter and this response will be served on the participants in the Pilgrim license transfer proceeding.
Sincerely, Richard J. Laufer Acting Secretary
