In the Matter of Docket No. 50-462-OL ILLIN0IS POWER COMPANY, et al. ) $3VED JLM 121985 (Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 2) June 11, 1985

)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ,

(Requesting Additional Information On Unit 2 Excavation)

On May 17, 1985, Applicant Illinois Power Company filed a " Motion toTerminateProceeding"(Motion)inwhichitrequestedthisBoardto authorize the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) to rescind Construction Permit No. CPPR-138, issued for Clinton Power Station Unit 2, and terminate this proceeding without prejudice.

Applicant represented that Intervenor Prairie Alliance and counsel for the NRC Staff had indicated that they did not oppose the Motion.

On May 29, 1985, thePeopleoftheStateofIllinois(State) filed an answer to Applicant's Motion. The State does not object to the termination of the proceeding, per se, but it did question the method proposed by Applicant for remediation of the Unit 2 excavation area.

The State requested the Board to order that a detailed environmental,

e safety and cost Ossessment be conducted for the proposed rim'ediation method before the method is approved.

The Staff responded to Applicant's Motion on June 6, 1985, I indicating that while it had previously authorized the Applicant to represent that the Staff did not object to the grant of Applicant's Motion, it wanted to place on the record its views as to certain conditions for environmental redress of the Unit 2 site. Accompanying Staff's response was the Atfidavit of Germain Laroche (Affidavit), Land Use Analyst in NRC's NRR. The Affidavit addressed the environmental conditions of the Unit 2 site and indicated measures that the Staff proposed taking to address any detrimental environmental impacts of the site. The Affidavit did not address the safety or cost concerns raised by the State.

Before rendering its decision on Applicant's Motion, the Board wishes to have additional information about the Unit 2 excavation. We believe that we may be able to obtain the information we need by examining the photographs and maps referred to by Mr. Laroche in his Affidavit at 14. The photographs and maps were prepared by the resident inspectors at Clinton Unit 1 at Mr. Laroche's request. We believe that the Staff, perhaps through the resident inspectors at the site, can also make available to the State and Prairie Alliance, should the parties so request, copies of the photographs and maps provided for the Board.
