Docket No. 50-266 (Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, I
Unit 1)
}
DIRECTOR'S DECICION UNDER 10 CFR 2.206 By petition dated November 14, 1979, Wisconsin's Environmental Decade, Inc.
(Decade), requested that the Comission enter an order to prohibit the reopening of Wisconsin Electric Power Company's Point Beach Nuclear Power Piant, Unit 1, at the end of the plant's refueling cycle. As the bases of its request, Decade contends essentially that
.{l) Resumed operation of the plant would violate certain limiting conditions for operation and would threaten public health and safety; (2) The NRC Staff's proposed bases (NUREG-0523) for continued operation of nuclear power plants experiencing significant steam generator tube degradation are inadequate to protect public health and safety; and (3) The Comission's existing regulations, technical specifications, and technical guidance are also inadequate to protect public health and safety.
Specifically, Decade requests that the Comission prevent resumed operation of the Point Beach plant and comence an investigation and hearing on the safety implications of tube degradation at Point Beach.
On November 20, 1979, the Comission fo DUPLICATE DOCUMENT the Staff for treatment pursuant to 10 CFR 2.
