Docket No. 50-285 2.
Request for Exemption from 10 CFR 50.54(w), filed with the Commission on 10/2/87, by LeBoeuf, Lamb, Leiby & MacRae on behalf of OPPD Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
Final Rule,10 CFR 50.54(w), Changes in Property Insurance Requirements for Licensed Nuclear Power Plants 52FR28963, August 5, 1987 A final rule amending 10 CFR 50.54(w) was published in the Federal Register e
dated August 5, 1987, which affects the minimum amount of insurance coverage that must be maintained by utilities operating licensed nuclear power plants. -
The Omaha Public Power District (0 PPD) wishes to notify you that we are not presently in compliance with this regulation.
Request for relief from the schedular requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(w) was filed with the Commission on Friday, October 2, 1987 by OPPD's legal representative, LeBoeuf, Lamb, Leibj &
MacRae.
At present, OPPD maintains $585 Million of property insurance obtained through American Nuclear Insurers and the Mutual Atomic Energy Reinsurance Pool.
As was detailed in Reference 3, the Nebraska Constitution and the Nebraska Supreme Court currently prevents OPPD from purchasing insurance from Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL).
OPPD has asserted, and the Commiss4on has found, (52 Federal Register 28966), that they are unable to provide equivalent protec-tion in lieu of purchasing the NEIL coverage necessary for OPPD to be.in compliance.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact us.
