Dear Mr. Golden:

This letter is in further response to your Petition of July 15, 1986, requesting that the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) order the Boston Edison Company to show cause why the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station should not remain closed or have its operating license suspended by NRC. The basis for this request was (1) numerous deficiencies in licensee managem!nt, (2) inadequacy of the existing radiological emergency response ' plan, and (3) inherent deficiencies in the f acility's containment structure.

As you may recall, you were notified in a letter dated August 12, 1986, that your Petition would be treated as a request of action pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the Comission's regulations. The staff has concluded its evaluation of the information contained in the Petition concerning items (2) and (3) and for the reasons stated in the enclosed " Interim Director's Decision under 10 CFR 2.206," '

your Petition, with the exception of the management issue, has been denied.

That portion of the Petition covering the management issues will be addressed in a subsequent response, ,

A copy of this decision will be filed with the Secretary for the Commission's I review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206(c). As provided in 10 CFR 2.206(c),  !

this decision will become the final action of the Comission in 25 days, '

unless the Comission determines to review the decision within that time. I have also enclosed a copy of a notice that is being filed with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Sincerely, original signed by Thoman E. Murley Thomas E. Murley, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
