Letter, A. Kadak, YAEC to T. Murley, NRC, dated February 27,1992
Dear Dr. Murley:
Subject:
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT FOR THE DECOMMISSIONING OF YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION i
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.53(b) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, Yankee i
Atomic Electric Company (YAEC) hereby submits the Supplement to Applicant's i
Environmental Report - Post Operating License Stage. This report is being submitted simultaneously with the Decommissioning Plan (Reference (b)) for the Yankee Nuclear Power Station (YNPS).
By letter dated February 27,1992 (Reference (c)), YAEC notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the company's decision to cease power operations permanently at YNPS. Consistent with that decision, YAEC has submitted the Decommissioning Plan for YNPS in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82, which requires that a decommissioning plan be submitted to the NRC within two years of permanent cessation of power operations (Reference (b)). In addition,10 CFR 51.53(b) requires that a supplement to the Environmental Report for the post-operating stage be submitted with the Decommissioning Plan.
y., M 0 As discussed in the enclosed Environmental Report, YAEC evaluated the three decommissioning alternatives described in NUREG-0586, Generic Environmental Impact 7tatement for Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities. The alternatives are immediate dismantlement, storage followed by dismantlement, and entombment. Ilased 9312220136 931220 g3 PDR ADOCK 05000029 hN

United S*tates Nuclear Regulatory Commission December 20,1993 Document Control Desk Page 2 BYR 93-086 on this evaluation, in part, YAEC determined that the most appropriate alternative for YNPS is to defer final decontamination and dismantlement activities dependent upon the availability of a low level radioactive waste disposal facility. The Environmental Report as required by 10 CFR 51.53(b) demonstrates that the decommissioning of the YNPS will have no significant environmental impacts.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.55(a), forty-one (41) copies of the Environmental Report are included with this letter. Additional copies are available from YAEC for distribution to other parties or organizations at a later date, if so instructed by the NRC. Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please forward the questions to Ms. Jane Grant for resolution.
Sincerely, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY A/ /
