Subject:
Termination of Washington Nuclear Projects 4 and 5 RMattson RVollmer In your letter of February 1,1982, to Mr. W. J. Dircks, you discussed the Supply System's intent to maintain the structures and equipment at Washington Nuclear Project (WNP) Nos. 4 and 5 in a licensable condition at least through the period you have terr.ed Phase One and to conply with all existing construction permit conditions and requirements.
Our preliminary assessment of this decision does
, ~ _
not indicate that any additional near-term action other than that taken or planned is necessary at this time on the part of the Supply Systen.
It is our understanding that the Supply System intends to carry out the nanagement plan presented to the Region V Office on December 10, 1981, insofar as naintaining the plant equipaent and records. The NRC Resident Inspectors and Regional Inspec-tors intend to conduct their activities (inspection surveillance, audit) on both units in accordance with this plan until such time as the Supply System announces termination of phase one.
The staff has ceased its review of the operating license (0L) application for WNP-4 as you requested.
We are continuing our acceptance review of the WNP-1 OL applica-tion.
You should arend the pending application for operating licenses for WNP-1 and WNP-4 to reflect the present status of the WNP-4 project.
Because the staff expects to corplete its acceptance review for WNP-1 only by mid-March 1982, it may be advisable for you to await the outcome of that review and amend your application to delete WNP-4 at that tire. We could then docket and notice the application for an operating license for WNP-1 only. Other aspects of the termination of WNP-4 and WNP-5 could also be discussed at that time.

We are continuing our acceptance \\ review of the WNP-1 OL applica-tion and expect to docket the application (for WNP-lynly) in mid-March 1982, if found acceptable. At that time, the staff will discuss with the Supply Systen the steps that should be taken to revise the application, ah the application presently addresses both WNP-1 and WNP-4. We do not feel that a rAgting between the Supply System and the staff regarding the termination of WNP-4 artd WNP-5 is necessary prior to that time.

Dear Mr. Dircks:
Subject:
TERMINATION OF SUPPLY SYSTEM NUCLEAR PROJECTS 4 AND 5 (WNP-4 and WNP-5)
On January 22, 1982, the Washington Public Power Supply System Board of Directors adopted a resolution terminating the Supply System's Nuclear Projects Nos. 4 and 5.
Construction work on these two (2) projects essentially was halted by the Supply System in July 1981, with the intent that an extended construction delay would continue until June 30, 1983. We advised the staff of this construction deferral by letter to Mr. H. R. Denton dated October 26, 1981.
Those projects were under construction pursuant to Construction Permits CPPR-174 and CPPR-155, respectively.
At the time that work was halted, WNP-4 was 24% complete and WNP-5 was 16% complete.
The Supply System has developed a plan for termination of these projects which contemplates two phases.
Phase One involves efforts to sell the plants intact to a new owner. The Supply System will maintain the plant structures and equipment in a licensable condition at least through
?hase One and possibly thereafter, and will comply with the conditions of the Construction Permits and the requirements of NRC regulations. We intend by and during these efforts to retain the Construction Permits.
We are willing to meet with your staff to brief it on details of the efforts contemplated.
Phase Two of the termination plan will commence only after the Supply s
System determines, subject to the rights of the Participants and Pacific Power and Light (10% owner of WNP-5), that it is no longer prudent to expect that the projects can be sold in their entirety within a reasonable time and without unreasonable expense. No definite time period has been set for completion of the first phase 6nd initiation of the second.
vt.
i W. J. Dircks Page 2 February 1,1982 WNP-4/5 Termination 1
t i
In Phase Two, plant equipment and materials will be sold or otherwise disposed of in a prudent manner, in accordance with applicable contractual and legal procedures, i
i With regard to WNP-4, the application for an Operating License for WNP-i 1 and WNP-4, including the FSAR, FER and General Information Document, i
i was submitted to the NRC on November 25, 1981. Because we intended at i
that time to resume construction of WNP-4 following the extended delay, the application addressed both WNP-1 and WNP-4.
Recent events dictate l
that the application address only WNP-1 now and until further notice.
i Very truly yours, i
-w R. L. Ferguton i
