Subie.*: Certincations of Pennanent Cessation of Power Operation And Permanent Removal of Fuel From the Reactor.

Gentlemem As of June 20,1997 all fuel assemblies had been removed from the Maine Yankee reactor and placed in the spent fuel pool for temporary storage. Subsequently, on August 6,1997 the Maine Yankee Board of Directors voted to pennanently cease operations of Maine Yankee and begin the decommissioning process.

Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR50.82 (a)(1)(i) and 10CFR$0.82(a)(1)(ii), Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company hereby certifies that it has permanently ceased operations at the Maine Yankee plant and that the fuel has been pennanently removed from the reactor. Maine Yankee understands that, with these certifications, the Maine Yankee 10CFR50 license no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor "essel. As a result, we also understand that past and future regulations and generic comnmnications dire alely to licensees authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor are no longer applicable to Maine Yan-Very truly yours, t
