P.O. Box B~
Bayville, New Jersey 08721
[p-y/f
Dear.Ns. Worrall:
This letter is to acknowledge receipt of the copy of Resolution 97-01-R of the Berkeley Township Environmental Commission dated April 1,1997, opposing transfer of spent nuclear fuel from wet to dry storage during operation of Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS).
Your Resolution is being considered as a petition' pursuant to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulation 10 CFR 2.206.
Your Resolution asks the NRC to direct GPU Nuclear (GPU) to shut down the nuclear reactor at the OCNGS during the aforementioned fuel transfer.
As the bases for your request, you' assert that (1) the load transfer path for the 100-ton fuel transfer cask passes over the reactor's containment mechanism and other safety-related equipment; (2) NRC Bu11etin 96-02, dated April 11, 1996, states that a dropped cask could damage the isolation condensers and the torus, creating the possibility of an unisolable leak, which in industry jargon describes a situation perilously close to a nuclear meltdown; (3) the operating record of GPU demonstrates it is capable of human error, including dropping heavy loads; (4) Berkeley Township could not be successfully evacuated in the event of a serious nuclear accident at OCNGS; and (5) the safer simpler alterative of turning off the reactor while lifting 100-ton loads over the containment can be easily implemented.
The staff will review your petition pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206. A final decision with regard to your petition will be issued within a reasonable time.
Enclosed is a copy of the notice that is being filed for publication with the Office of the Federal Register.
