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 l response t6 spent fuel pool issues. The DD correctly ~" grants" -

Petitioner's " requests, as appropriate' ' (e.g.,~ generic communication, and review licensing basis).

! 8 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.
