[External_Sender] RE: RE: 2.206 Petition status

Dear Project Manager Cruz,

In our 9/24/19 email, which you note below, we indicated that we would be providing the NRC with an appendix via an ftp site since the documents are extensive and, as such, too large for attachment to an email as a single document. We immediately, i.e., also on 9/24/19, provided a link to our ftp site for an easy download of the appendix documents. We believed that this submission was in writing, and, hearing nothing further from the NRC until your email of October 25, assumed that all was in order. In any event, to speed things along, my assistant, Keli Herten-Greaven, will shortly be emailing the appendix documents to you (at the addresses you set forth below), as attachments in pdf form. We were able to consolidate the pdfs into four ZIP files, so you will receive four separate emails.

Please confirm receipt of the appendix documents at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely, Randy Gordon Randy Gordon Direct (214) 258-4148

[EXTERNAL]RE: RE: 2.206 Petition status Good Afternoon Everyone, You submitted a petition requesting action under 10 C.F.R. 2.206 that included a request that the NRC immediately suspend all decommissioning operations at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and require the Licensee to submit an amended decommissioning plan to account for spent nuclear fuel being placed in storage at SONGS. You also requested that the NRC prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement that evaluates site-specific environmental issues not addressed in the decommissioning Generic Environmental Impact Statement.

The NRC staff reviewed the petitions immediate action request and has concluded, in accordance with Section II.B.1 of Management Directive (MD) 8.11 (ML18176A147), that the request does not warrant immediate action. The NRC staff has determined that the decommissioning activities at SONGS do not constitute an immediate threat to public health and safety. The NRC has continued to perform inspection and oversight of NRC-licensed activities at SONGS and taken regulatory actions as necessary, including appropriate enforcement of NRC regulations regarding the safety of spent fuel storage.

Consistent with the 2.206 process, the Staff is proceeding with its evaluation of whether the petition meets the MD 8.11 acceptance criteria for review. We will contact you once the Staff has made that initial determination.

We also note that the NRC has only received a 9/24/19 e-mail with the initial petition and a 9/25/19 e-mail with a Notice of Appearance. Consistent with the 10 CFR 2.206 petition process, all information related to the petition (including exhibits) must be submitted in writing. If there are additional materials that you believe the Staff should consider, please provide them via email to me at Zahira.Cruz@nrc.gov or to Petition.Resource@nrc.gov as attachments.
