August 22. 1997 Mr. Chuck Bames Vice President / Regional Manager Laborers' intemational Union of North America Plaza 800 600 Stewart St., Suite 1302 Seattle, WA 98101-1217

Dear Mr. Bames:

I am responding to your July 29,1997, letter to Chairman Jackson, conceming Portland General Electric Company's (PGE's) request for Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval to ship the 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 NRC notes the concerns raised in your letter, l

and that the final decision on PGE's request will be reviewed by the Commission.

l As you know, the final decision must be consistent with the NRC's primary mission to protect l

public health and safety and the environment. NRC's review of PGE's request for a one-time shipment will consider differences between potential radiation exposures for a single shipment versus multiple shipments. NRC's review willinclude associated a:tivities before, during, and after the shipment (s). NRC will consider these radiation safety and environmental concems for both plant workers and the putlic.

I would like to thank you for your interest in the Commission's activities in assuring the safe transport of radioactive materials.

Sincerely, Original signed by W. Kane for:-

Carl J. Paperiello, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety
