2.206 Petition Status Notification
Dear Mr. Weigel,
This email is to inform you that the NRC staff has reviewed your September 24, 2019, 2.206 Request in accordance with NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.11 Review Process for 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions (ML18296A043). In accordance with Section II.A.2(d) of MD 8.11, the NRC staff screened your requests to revoke Coastal Development Permit No. 9-15-0228, issue an immediate cease and desist to Southern California Edison et. al, and require Southern California Edison procure safer storage in thick walled, easily transportable canisters and relocate them to a temporary storage site further away from densely populated areas and not on a military installation. The part of your request regarding Coastal Development Permit No. 9-15-0228 was screened out of the 2.206 petition process consistent with the MD 8.11 Section II.A.2(d)(vi) screening criteria, Requests to Impose a Requirement that is Outside of NRC Jurisdiction, because Coastal Development Permit No. 9-15-0228 was issued by the California Coastal Commission. Therefore, the NRC does not have the authority to revoke that permit. However, your requests to issue a cease and desist and to require the permit holder to procure safer storage canisters and relocate them are being considered by a Petition Review Board. The Petition Review Board is performing its initial assessment of these requests using the evaluation criteria in MD 8.11 Section III.C, Criteria for Petition Evaluation. I will contact you with the results of this assessment.
As I explained in my email dated November 8, 2019, the NRC staff concluded that your request to issue an immediate cease and desist does not warrant immediate action because it does not demonstrate an immediate safety concern to a regulated facility or to the health and safety of the public. Although the NRC determined that immediate action was not necessary, the Petition Review Board will still consider the cease and desist request for non-immediate action, in accordance with the MD 8.11 Criteria for Petition Evaluation. In moving forward with the 10 CFR 2.206 petition process, please be informed that this process is a public process and information related to the petition is made publicly available, including your identity.
Thank you for bringing these issues to the attention of the NRC. As I explained in my email dated October 28, 2019, I will be your point of contact for your 2.206 Petition. Therefore, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
