P.O GOX B1G TUXEDO. NEW YORK 10907 [014) 351-2131 [O" January 21, 1991 Mr. Theodore S. Michaels U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission PDNP Mail Stop 11-B-20 Washington, DC 20555

Dear Mr. Michaels:

Please find attached, two proposed task lists we would like to discuss with you on February 11, 1991 at NRC headquarters. One list outlines pre-approval tasks which we feel could be done under our existing license. The second sheet defines post approval taska that we feel could be performed with spent fuel on site without compromising either safety or security.

As you know, it is possible that spent fuel will be on our site through June 1991 due to the ongoing moratorium on fuel shipments. In the Decommissioning Plan we have submitted, we estimated that the decommissioning project will take 27 months to complete. Only if we begin the listed tasks in the first quarter of 1991 will we have a good chance of completing the project before the end of December 1992.

Please contact me if you have any questions about the agenda.

Very truly yours, fo tw
