Dear Mayor Kallberg:

l am responding to your letter dated June 18,1997, conceming Portland General Electric Company's (PGE's) request for approval of the shipment of its decommissioned reactor vessel from the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant near Portland, Oregon, to a disposal site at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation near Richland, Washington. In this regard, I would like to assure you that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) notes the concems raised in your letter, and that the final decision on PGE's request will be reviewed by the Commission.

i The NRC will consider PGE's request for a one-time shipment and will address potential issues including the appropriate weight to be given to the possible safety and environmental concems associated with increased expteure to radioactive material before, during, and after multiple shipments.

I trust that this reply responds to your concems. I wpuid like to thank you for your interest in the NRC's activities in assuring the safe transport of radioactive materials. We will keep you informed of the progress of our review.

Sincerely, b

Shirley Ann Jackson l
