I DOCKET No. 50-312 i
NRC MAILING SEPT. 12, 1989
)
MEETING OF SMUD WITH NRC AUGUST 29, 1989: STATUS OF CLOSURE l
l l
Dear Chairman carr,
j The Environmental Conservation Organization believes that in the j
coming years California will need the power that the Rancho Seco
)
Nuclear Station can produce.
We believe that the price of natural gas will rise, and that i
Rancho seco Nuclear Generating Station could produce power at
)
competitive prices without the emissions of oxides of nitrogen J
and carbon to the atmosphere that will come from burning that gas.
)
Environmental Conservation Organization does not want restart
)
tainted by any~ actions omitted during this entire process.
We i
recognize that actions related to normal refueling operations do not represent any comprom.te to the plant or license.
This may not bc true for so-called "defueling actions".
j NRC must know the status of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating
(
Station at all times to make sure that the plant license is respected, so that the plant is not allowed to deteriorate.
While Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station holds a valid lA operating license, certain conditions must be met.
If l
relaxations are sought in requirements for tests and inspections that could compromise the plant, license amendments may have to be applied for.
i
?
To date, the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station appears to l
L have taken no steps that would preclude the use of Rancho Seco L
Nuclear Generating Station at some future date.
However, even though the proposed "poscession only" license amendment has not been filed, we are concerned about the possibility that steps might be.taken which could compromise the potential restart of the plant.

such amendment, or the permissior, by the NRC to permit any such i

' keep us informed.
Should approval of any such aculons be sought, Environmental Conservation Organization intends to intervene.

dissemination of communications to us.
