ORDER In a supplementary initial decision dated May 26, 1981, the

~

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board resolved the remaining issues in this proceeding and authorized the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, after making the requisite findings, to issue full term licenses to Duke Power Company authorizing full power opera-tion of McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2.

l Intervenor, Carolina Environmental Study Group (CESG) has moved the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board to stay the

_ ef fec,tiveness of_the decision. pursuant to 10 CFR 2.788.

However, quite apart from the filing or disposition of this stay motion, l

the initial decision does not become an effective authorization until the Commission has taken the actions outlined in the Commission's order dated May 28, 1981.

These actions entail analysis of the Licensing Board's decision by the Commission to determine whether it should become effective.

a 2

The Commission is continuing with its review of this supple-mental initial decision, and the initial decision which preceded it, insofar as operation of Unit 2 and full power operation of Unit 1 kre concerned.

However, it has decided that the Licensing Board's May 26, 1981 supplemental initial decision may become effective insofar as operation of Unit 1 at power levels not in excess of 5% is concerned.

This partial effectiveness determina-tion under 10 CFR 2.764 (f) is without prejudice to any later Commission effectiveness determination for Unit 1 at greater power levels or for Unit 2.

It is also without prejudice to its

.. future consideration of any conditions in the draft Unit 1 license submitted to the Commission by staff on June 9,1981 that may be applicable to operation at power levels in excess of 5%.

Accordingly, the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, is authorized to issue a license to Duke Power Company which shall conform to the terms of the June 9,1981 draf t license (modified l

as directed at the June 9,1981 Commission meeting with staff) and which shall permit it to operate McGuire Nuclear Station, Unit I at steady state reactor core power levels not in excess of 5% of rated power.

It_is so ORDERED.
