(Proposed Amendment for Fuel (TrojanfluclearPlant)

Storage Pool Modification)
ORDER RESCINDING BOARD'S MEMORANDUM AND ORDER OF AUGUST 8, 1977 On August 8,1977, we entered a Memorandum and Order granting The Stafe of Oregon's Motion For Separate Hearings.
Therein, we ruled that the first phase of the hearing would address only those issues directly
(
related to the installation of the new spent fuel storage racks and that the second phase would deal with all issues related to the use of the new racks. We so ruled because the State of Oregon, Portland General Electric Company and the NRC Staff had represented to us that the spent fuel storage pool was presently empty and dry, and, thus, was uncontaminated.
Relying upon these representations and holieving
+H + o, q, 4.,
3 7 n t w - e eg g racks in an uncontaminated pool could offer safety advantages, the Board
(
granted the motion for bifurcation.
However, under date of August 30, 1977, PGE forwarded to the Board Revision 2 to PGE-1013.
Section 5.3 thereof states that:
"Althougli no spent fuel has been stored in the SFP, the SFP was used to temporarily store liquid radwaste in July 1976 prior to its processing in the radwaste system.
As a result, low-level radicactivity is present on the lower 80 percent of the existing spent fuel racks.
Tgeradioactivitylevelsrange frca an avera to a maximum of 180,000 cpm /lCO cm2. ge 70,000 dpm/100 cmThe predominate nuclides are Co-58 a General radiation levels in the SFP are less than 0.1 mrcm/hr."
e.m phCusiz.e cudd ect 75/09703 6
It is now clear that, contrary to the aforementioned representa-t ons, the SFP is no longer uncontaminated and indeed has been contaminated i
s nce July, 1976.
Accordingly, the basis upon which the Board issued its
-l/
August 8th
-der is no longer valid and we herewith rescind that Order.
