Subject:

Dairyland Power Cooperative La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor Provisional Operating License DPR-45 Amendment to License Application

Reference:

(1) Letter from J.P. Madgett, DPC to Directorate of Licensing, USAEC, dated October 9,1974.

(2) Amendment No. 56, NRC License No. DPR-45, dated August 4, 1987.

(3) Letter from J.W. Taylor, DPC, to Division of Nuclear Reactor Regulation USNRC, dated December 21, 1987.

Gentlemen:

On October 9, 1974, Dairyland Power Cooperative (Dairyland) filed an application to convert its Provisional Operating License No. DPR-45 for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) into a full-term operating license (Reference 1). Orc April 29, 1987, Dairyland advised the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it intended to shut down LACBWR nnd decommission this facility rather than pursue a full-term operating licenso. Dairyland also requested that the pending full-term operating license proceeding for LACBWR be held in abeyance until the NRC acted on Dairyland's request to convert License No. DPR-45 into a "possession only" license and Dairyland developed and submitted a Decommissioning Plan for the LAC 8WR facility.

LACBWR was permanently shut down on April 30, 1987, and final defueling was completed on June 11, 1987. The NRC converted Dairyland's license into a possession only license on August 4, 1987, (Reference 2) and Dairyland submitted its proposed Decommissioning Plan to the NRC on December 21, 1987 (Reference 3).
