NRC STAFF MOTION FOR F2 CONSIDERATION OF ORDER RESCINDING.iEMORANDUM AND ORDER OF AUGUST 3.1977 By Order da:ed September 15, 1977, de Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board) rescinded i:s Me=orand'un and Order of Augus: 8,1977 in which it
( ranted the Str.:e of Oregon's (State) Motion for Separa:e Hearings. The Board based the rescission order on its determination that the basis for i:s August Sth Memorandum and Order viz. that the spent fuel storage pcol (SFP) is uncontaminated, is no longer valid. This determination was predica:cd on Portland General Electric Ccmpany's (PGE) submission of Revision 2 :o PGE-1013 (the amplication for modification of the SFP) Section 5.3 wherein PGE s:a:ed that :F e SFP had been used for temporary s:orage of licuid radwaste and, as a k ensequence, icw '.evel radicac:ivity is present. This, $e Boz d implies, is contrary to represen:a: ions by the State, PGE and de NRC Scaff :o de effec:
tha: th e SFP is presently empty, dry and uncontamina:ed.* f)
For the following rea.scr.s, de Staff respectfully moves, pursuant to 10 CFR 5 2.73), is: se Scard reconsider its Order cf September 15,1977, and remst.:e i:s Memer.ndum and Order of Augus: 3,1977 granting separate he rir.gs.
