Dear Mr. Mellor:

We have received your letter dated October 28,1998, which submits your spent fuel management plan.

The staff has reviewed the plan and notes that you plan to store the spent fuelin the spent fuel pool (SFP) until the Department of Energy takes physical possession of the fuel. l

.E The staff understands that you may switch to an on-site dry storage option in the future. )

Your October 28th letter states that funding for spent fuel management is provided by. j power contracts held by the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company. Your letter

further states that SFP operational limits have been established such that decommissioning activities cannot result in the loss of spent fuel integrity or physical damage to the fuel that could reduce subcriticality margin or cause a loss of coolable geometry.

The staff finds that 'your submittal meets the ' requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(bb).

Therefore, the staff gives its preliminary approval of the plan, in accordance with l 650.54(bb).
