W. - Dahlberg reviewed the meeting and resolution' of the Board of Directors on October 25, 1990 wherein the Board approved the write-off of the Company's investment in the Plant
\\
Vogtle radwaste facility.
He reported that, as a result of the regulatory environment and legal and technological developments, the Company's investmentiin the radioactive materials processing and cther specialized aspects of the radwaste facility has been rendered valueless and functionally obsolete during. the 1990 taxable year.
He further reported that modification of the facility for commercially feasible alternative use is economically prohibitive, and that as is, the Company does not anticipate any reasonably foreseeable commercial use of the facility.
Accordingly, he stated that the company has abandoned the facility in place and, in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors dated October 25, 1990, has removed the Company's specialized investment in the facility from the Company's books and records.
