The petition requested the following enforcement actions against Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC, and Holtec Palisades, LLC regarding the Palisades Nuclear Plant.

The NRC staff initiated its screening process in accordance with NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.11, Review Process for 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions and its associated Directive Handbook (DH) 8.11 Section II.A.2(d) (ML18296A043).
The NRC staff have concluded that your petition has screened into the 2.206 process in accordance with MD 8.11, DH Section II.A.2(d) and a petition review board (PRB) is evaluating your petition.
In addition, the NRC staff concluded, following review in accordance with MD 8.11, DH Section II.B.1, that the concerns expressed in your requests do not warrant immediate enforcement action.
Note that the 2.206 petition process is a public proceeding. Accordingly, the petitions and all associated information, including your identity, are being made publicly available. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the process and/or the status of the PRBs evaluation.
