o [ WASHINGTON. D.C. 2(656 g....+/ January 4, 1993 Hs. Marina Anttila, President East Side Democratic Club of Multnomah County 3415 N.E. 22nd Street Portland, Oregon 97212

Dear Ms. Anttila:

I am responding to your letter of December 1,1992, to the Commissioners of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In your letter you requested "a public hearing" prior to the restart of Trojan and expressed concerns about the status of the steam generators at the Trojan Nuc1 car Plant.

As you may know, the staff held a meeting at the Trojan site in Rainier, Oregon, on December 1, 1992, to discuss the cause and repair of the steam generator primary-to-secondary tube leak that occurred on November 9, 1992.

This meeting was held to provide an oppertunity for Portland General flectric (PGE) to inform the NRC staff on the issues raised in the Confirmatory Action Letter, dated November 13, 1992. The meeting was attended by NRC headquarters personnel, NRC Region V personnel, PGE, and members of the media and general public. The meeting also included a discussion of the proposed emergency technical specification change that was prepared by the licensee.

The licensee recently withdrew its request for the emergency technical specification change and is conducting augmented steam gen 9rator tube inspections. It is our understanding that the licensee is evaluating the steam generator tube inspection data and they are considering a range of possible actions that depend on the result of the data evaluation. The NRC staff is following the inspection process and any subsequent request for technical specification amendment closely.

I would advise you to consult Title 10, Code of Federal Reaulationi (10 CFR),

for an understanding of your rights and responsibilities regarding a hearing request; specifically refer to 10 CFR 50.91, and 10 CFR 2.714. In general, you may file a petition for leave to intervene and request a hearing during the notice period on any licensing action proposed by the licensee, or you 060010 pg 7 o ,mqcmay l
