U. S. NUCI FAR REGULATORY COMMISSION VERMONT YANKFF NUCI FAR POWER CORPORATION VERMONT YANKFF NUCI FAR POWER STATION DOCKET NO. 50-271 RECElPT OF PETITION FOR DIRECTOR'S DECISION UNDER 10 CFR 2 208 l
Notice is hereby given that by Petition dated April 9,1998, Mr. Michael J. Daley, on behalf of the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution, Inc. (or Petitioner), requested that the l
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) take immediate action with regard to the Vermont l
-Yankee Nuclear Power Station. The Petitioner requests that the NRC issue an order requiring that the licensee's administrative limLs, which preclude Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station from operating with a torus water temperature above 80 V or with service water injection 1
l temperature greater than 50 T, shall remain in force until certain conditions are met. The requested conditions include a complete reconstitution of the licensing basis for the maximum I
k torus water temperature, submittal to the NRC of a technical specifications amendment request
)
l l-establishing the correct maximum torus water temperature, and completion of NRC review of i
the amendment request.
As the basis for this request, the Petitioner states that the licensee has been unable to demonstrate an ability to either justify the operational limits for the maximum torus water temperature or maintain operations within existing administrative limits (torus water temperature is critical to the proper functioning of the containment). The Petitioner also states that the NRC must move from a " wait and see" posture to active intervention, with immediate imposition of the order as a necessary first step.
