only of the test reactor located at Vallecitos Nuclear Center in Alameda County, California. The renewed Operating License No. TR-1 will. expire on October 1, 1992.
.The amended license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Comission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as
. required by the Act and the Comission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I. Those findings are set forth in the license amendment.

2-Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) in the Show Cause proceeding found in favor of continued operation, subject to certain conditions. This finding subsequently was upheld by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board .and the Commission.
Following notification of General Electric Company's plan to continue operation of the facility, a reconstituted Atomic Safety and Licensing Board contacted the original intervenors and detennined that only one intervenor I, timely demonstrated an interest in proceeding with hearings on GE's license renewal request. Following a prehea .g conference and other proceedings, an agreement between GE and the intervenor was reached whereby the licensee agreed to modify its renewal application to request a possession only status and the intervenor agreed to withdraw his opposition to the license renewal request. On April 23, 1985, the prcceeding was terminated by the ASLB. No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed following notice of the proposed possession only action on September 11, 1985.
The Consnission has prepared a Safety Evaluation for the renewal of of Facility Operating License No. TR-1 and has, based on that report, concluded that the facility can continue to be maintained by the licensee without endangering the health and safety of the public.
The Consnission also has prepared an Environmenta1' Assessment for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. TR-1 and has concluded that this action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
