The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has reviewed the application in accordance with the provisions of the Commission!s' rules and 8611030223 DR 861029 ADOCK 05000124 PDR
2-regulations and has found that the dismantling and disposal of component parts in accordance with the licensee's 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 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment, dated October 29, 1986 , for the proposed action. Based on that Assessment,
- the Commission has determined that the proposed action will not result in any significant environmental impact and that an Environmental Inpact Statement need not be prepared.
Accordingly, VPI is hereby ordered to dismantle the reactor facility and dispose of the component parts in accordance with its dismantling plan and the Commission's rules and regulations.
F After completion of the dismantling and disposal, VPI will submit a report on the radiation survey it will perform to confirm that radiat! ion and surface contamination levels in the facility area satisfy the values specified in the dismantling plan and in the Commission's guidance. Following an inspection by representatives of the Commission to verify the radiation and contamination levels in the facility, consideration will be given to issuance of a further order terminating Facility Operating License No. R-62.
