SUBJECT:
ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION REGARDING RANCHO SECO AND 10 CFR PART 26, l
" FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAMS" (TAC NO. 75067) l In a letter dated January 18, 1990, the NRC granted enforcement discretion by District (y waiving the requirement that the Sacramento Municipal Utility temporaril L
SMUD) comply with the full provisions of 10 CFR Part 26. Specifically, only those' persons who have unescorted access to the spent fuel poul building-or to any area, wherever located, which contains equipment necessary to support and maintain the continued safe storage or handling of spent fuel are subject to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 26. That letter stated that enforcement L
discretion expires in thirty days, that is, on February 17, 1990.
l In a letter dated February 8, 1990, SMUD requested a " limited scope" exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 26. This limited scope exemption request is commensurate with the enforcerient discretion described in our January 18, 1990 letter.
Based on the recent submittal of SMUD's exemption request, the NRC will con-tinue to exercise its enforcement discretion to the extent described in the January 18, 1990 letter, until such time as the exemption request of February 8,1990, is acted upon, or at such time as SMUD's intent with respect-to future power operations changes, whichever it sooner. Enforcement discretion is hereby execised on-the following basis:
l-1.
Rancho Seco is defueled with all fuel in the spent fuel pool building.
L 2.
SMUD does not intend to resume power operations at Rancho Seco.
3.
Design basis accidents for a nuclear facility in a defueled-condition are all associated with a loss of fuel pool inventory or with fuel handling.
