Subject:

Director Decision (DD) 96-18 l

10 CFR 2.206 i

l

SUMMARY

Mr. Paul Blanch filed a 2.206 petition on April 13, 1994, j

regarding the potential failure of the fuel in the spent fuel pools of all reactors in the United States.

As a basis for his requests j

he asserted the NRC was informed of a substantial nuclear safety I

hazard at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station over a year l

earlier (Lochbaum and Prevatte).

~

l SIGNIFICANT POINTS:

{

l e

This is a well-written DD that reviews staff actions taken in response t6 spent fuel pool issues.

The DD correctly ~" grants" l

Petitioner's

" requests, as appropriate' '

(e.g.,~

generic communication, and review licensing basis).

8 l

l i

i i

l l

Messrs. Lochbaum and Prevatte submitted a similar request to l

deny licensing actions in 1994 (after their Part 21 report on Susquehanna's spent fuel pool issues).

Mr. Blanch's 2.206 I

Petition was already " acknowledged."

i s

Recommend allowing the DD to stand.
