April 15,1999 LICENSEE: BOSTON EDISON COMPANY FACILITY: PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING GN APRll13,1999, TO DISCUSS SALE AND TRANSFER OF PILGRIM FROM BOSTON EDISON COMPANY TO ENTERGY hiUCLEAR GENERATION COMPANY On April 13,1999, the staff met with Boston Edison Company (BECo) and Entergy Nuclear Generation Company (Entergy Nuclear) to discuss the sale and transfer of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim) from BECo to Entergy Nuclear. Enclosure 1 is the attendance list. The NRC staff asked what the time table is for the sale and transfer in order to determine the NRC's review milestones. The licensee stated that the sales agreement does not allow them to settle during the outage, currently planned for May 8 to June 4,1999. While the licensee could not provide an exact closure date, the licensee felt the end of the week of April 19,1999, is probably the latest they could hope to settle prior to the outage and have an orderly transition of owners. If this date cannot be met, the settlement would likely be put off until after the outage.
The staff provided a draft of the cover letter and order for discussion (Enclosure 2), Based on these discussions, the staff agreed to reconsider conditions 3 and 4. The licensee was asked to provide additional information regarding financial qualifications of Entergy Intemational Limited. The iMensee agreed to discuss with the Massachusetts Attomey General, a letter providing a cor.ditional withdrawal of his request for intervention based on a condition in the order regarding the utilization of the $50 million contingency fund. This would allow the staff to remove condition 6, which would modify tne draft order regarding settlement of the request for intervention. The licensee also agreed to provide the necessary " documentary evidence" of appropriate insurance as determined by the staff. The licensee proposed some editorial changes to the order. If the licensee can provide the requested information expeditiously, the staff expects to be able to support the schedule discussed above.
Sincerely,
