UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE DOCKET NO. 50-409 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.54(o) and

~

Part 50, Appendix J to Dairyland Power Cooperative (the licensee) for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR).

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSPENT Identification of Proposed Action The exemption will delete the requirements for Type A testing of the containment building.

LACBWR was permanently shutdown on April 30, 1987 and reactor defueling completed on June 11, 1987. The LACBWR operating License No. DPR-45 was modified to possess-but-not-operate status on August 4, 1987.

• Need for Proposed Action The exemption is needed to eliminate requirements that were appropriate for an operating plant but are not needed at the permanently shutdown LACBWR facility.

Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action The proposed action will have no environmental impact because all fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel and the worst case accident would not require containment integrity.
