Dear Ms. Phillips:
By application dated September 13, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18260A085), as supplemented by letter dated January 10, February 8, March 14, and July 16, 2019 (ADAMS Accession Nos ML19016A135, ML19044A574, ML19079A158, and ML19197A114), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENOI), requested changes to Renewed Facility Operating License (RFOL) No. DPR-35 and the associated Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim). Specifically, ENOI requested an amendment to revise the Pilgrim RFOL and the associated TSs to Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications (PDTS) consistent with the permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel.
By Order dated August 22, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19170A265), the NRC staff approved, in part, the direct transfer of the Pilgrim RFOL to Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI, or the licensee).
Additionally, on August 22, 2019, HDI informed the NRC (ADAMS Accession No. ML19234A357) that:
HDI will assume responsibility for all ongoing NRC regulatory actions and reviews currently underway for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. HDI respectfully requests NRC continuation of these regulatory actions and reviews.
On August 26, 2019, ENOI informed the NRC that the transaction closed on August 26, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19239A037). On August 27, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19235A050), the NRC staff issued Amendment No. 249 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-35 for Pilgrim. Accordingly, HDI is now the licensee for decommissioning operations at Pilgrim.
If the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has comments on this license amendment request, please e-mail me your comments by the close of business on October 8, 2019.
Very Respectfully, Scott P. Wall, LSS BB, BSP Senior Project Manager Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 301.415.2855 Scott.Wall@nrc.gov
