Subject:

Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Withdrawal of Pre-Notice of Disbursement from Decommissioning Trust

Reference:

1. ZionSolutions, LLC Letter, G. van Noordennen, "Pre-Notice of Disbursement from Decommissioning Trust," dated April 15, 2019

2. ZionSolutions, LLC Letter, G. van Noordennen, "Report on Status of Decommissioning Funding for Shutdown Reactors," dated March 26, 2019 In accordance with the Zion Nuclear Power Station (ZNPS) Facility Operating Licenses, Condition 2.C.(14)(c), the decommissioning trust agreement must contain a requirement that no disbursements or payments shall be made from the trust without the trustee giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. By letter dated April 15, 2019 such notice was provided by the Reference 1.

This letter provides the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation written notification that we are withdrawing our request for disbursements or payments from the trust until a later date. Due to questions received from the NRC Staff pertaining to our annual report on the status of decommissioning funding for ZNPS (Reference 2), we will clarify and add to the information provided in the annual report with a revised report and respond to the NRC questions before requesting a pre-notice of disbursement of funds from the decommissioning trust.

If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me at (860) 462-9707.

Respectfully, G~'?l1Z....~
