Dear Mr. Boggs:

P. Erickson

SUBJECT:

POSSESSION ONLY LICENSE AMENDMENT FOR THE RANCHO SECO NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Your letter of December 27, 1989, stated that a possession only license amendment for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station would be submitted on April 30, 1990, and that "the maintenance and surveillance of plant systems other than those required to maintain spent fuel pool integrity would be unnecessary at this point.".However, we want to reiterate that plant equipment and programs must not be allowed to degrade in any manner and an adequate number of properly trained staff to assure safety at the facility must be maintained untti a possession only license amendment is approved and issued. Submitting such an amendment does not relieve you from these requirements.

Additionally, in order for the NRC to process and review a possession only license amendment, a plan for ultimate disaosition of the facility must be submitted, then reviewed and accepted by tie NRC. This plan for ultimate disposition does not have to be the complete, finalized decomissioning plan as required by 10 CFR 50.82, but rather a plan outlining your intentions with respect to permanent plant closure, your decision on decomissioning options, and the storage and handling of spent fuel.

i In sumary, I assure you that our staff will continue to work closely with your staff as Rancho Seco proceeds towards early decomissioning.

It is, of course, essential that Rancho Seco be maintained in a safe condition and that your plant closure and decomissioning activities be carried out in compliance with NRC regulations.
