By application dated October 29, 1985, as supplemented, UCLA submitted a Phase I decommissioning plan. An Order authorizing Phase I dismantling of the facility and disposition of component parts was issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Commission) on July'14,1986. Phase I dismantlement and disposition of component parts has been completed except for the disposition of 5000 pounds of activated lead. This issue must be resolved for UCLA to be in compliance with the Phase I Order.

The' Comission has reviewed the June 10, 1988 Phase II application in accordance with the provisions of the Comission's rules and regulations and has found that the dismantling and disposal of ccmponent parts in accordance with UCLA's Phase II dismantling plan will be in accordance with the regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, and will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. The basis of these findings is set forth in the concurrently issued Safety Evaluation by the i

.0ffice of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

The Comission has prepared an Environmental Assessment for the proposed d 1

-action. Based on that Assessment, the Comission has determined that the 1

proposed action will not result in any significant environmental impact and that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared.  ;

i Accordingly, UCLA is hereby ordered to dismantle the Argonaut Reactor l Facility and dispose of the component parts in accordance with Phase II of its l dismantling plan and the Comission's rules and regulations.

After completion of the dismantling and disposal, the licensee will submit l l

a report on the radiation survey it has performed to confirm that radiction and j surface contamination levels in the facility area satisfy the values specified in the dismantling plan and in the Comission's guidance.

b,. -

Following an inspection by representatives of the Commission to verify -

compliance with the Phase I and Phase II Orders, consideration will be given to releasing the facility for unrestricted use.

For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the licensee's application for Phase II authorization to dismantle the facility and dispose of component parts, dated June 10, 1988, as supplemented, (2) the Comission's Safety Evaluation; and (3) the Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact. All cf these items are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, N.W., Fashington, D. C. Copies of items (2) and (3) may be obtained upon request addressed to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D. C. 20555, Attention:
