SUBJECT:

TROJAN MEETING

SUMMARY

A public met.tng was held cn May 8,1977 at 1:00 PM between Portland General Electric's (PGE) Trojan plant manage nent and the NRC Executive Director for Operations and other members of the NRC staff. The meeting was attended by an official from the Oregon Department of Energy and several members of the public. A list of attendees is attached.

The public meeting was started with the introduction of the participants. Lee Thonus, NRR, announced that the meeting was open to the public and that the purcose was for PGE to provide information to the NRC staff regarding their decommissioning plans for Trojan.

Steve Quennoz, PGE Trojan Site Executive, stated that the three key projects for the Trojan decommissioning were the licensing and construction of an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), the removal preparation and shipment to the burial site of the Trojan reactor vessel (RV), and the processing of tne fuel debris located in the Trojan spent fuel pool. He stated that PGE wanted to complete a known decommissioning at a known cost to provide a j data set for the many interested parties in the NRC and industry. He further shted that placing i the fuelinto dry storage was a priority because it would allow T'GE to procee. .vith the remaining decommissioning activities at the site using experienced personnel.

Mr. Quennoz described the advantages of PGE's prepowd plan to ship the reactor vessel and intemals intact versus removal of the reactor vessel intemals prior to preparation of the RV for shipment. PGE listed the advantages as lower dose to plant workers, to shippers, and to the public; one shipme't vs. 55-89; and no Greater Than Class C (GTCC) waste from intemals segmentation that would have to be stored onsite. Next Mr. Quennoz discussed the restrictions which would be placed on toe RV shipment, probabalistic risk assessment of the shipment, and [

special features associated with the transport barge and with the RV tiedown system to meet the O 12 10-e probability of failure criterion. PGE acknowledged : hat they will likely need exemptions  ;

from the regulations on rollover and brittle fracture requirements. PGE's accident analysis shows that the consequences of a breached RV 9ackage would be less than the acceptance criteria for accidents involvic,g type A packages.

.A David Stewart-Smith of the Oregon Department of Energy discussed the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council review of the proposed RV shipment. He believes that shipping the RV and intemals .'ntact has many advantages. They include fewer shipments and less exposure. He believes that PGE's proposal should receive a fair hearing. The state of Oregon has experience with similar shipments and they are well trained and prepared to deal with radioactive material transport & tion issues.

2 May 19, 1997 Mr. Quennoz stated that PGE needs to grout the RV in October of 1997 in order to meet their schedule for a July / August 1998 shipment. The size of the RV would be similar to one of the steam generators previously shipped but it would weigh twice as much. It would be similar to a navy reactor compartment shipment.

Earl Easton of the NRC staff asked about the difference between the November 1997 requested NRC completion and the October 1997 grout. Mr. Quennoz acknowledged that PGE may need to perform some work at risk of not having the shipment approved. Mr. Easton asked if PGE would need any exemptions to 49 CFR regulations. The PGE representatives did not know of any but would check to make sure.

John Greeves of the NRC stated that the 2 million curies proposed for burial was large and that GTCC material was not normally allowed in shallow lard burial. Mike Lackey from PGE replied that PGE had already discussed the disposal with the state of Washington (regulatory authority for the disposal site) and that they had agreed that the RV and intemals package would fall within licensing guidelines after averaging of tot.91 mass.

The meetir.g was adjoumed at approximately 2:00 PM.
