Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations and that Fuel Has Been Permanentl Removed from the Reactor Pursuant to 10CFR50.82(a)(1)(i) and 10CFR50.82(a)(1)(ii), Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) hereby certifies to the NRC that, as of July 17, 1998, it has determined to permanently cease operations at Millstone Unit No. 1 and that fuel has been'permanently removed from the reactor vessel. NNECO understands and acknowledges that upon docketing these certifications, the Millstone Unit No.

10CFR50 license no longer authorizes operation of. the reactor or emplacement or retemtion of fuel into the reactor vessel.

Millstone Unit No. 1 has been shutdown since November 4, 1995 when the plant entered the Cycle 15 refueling outage. During the outage, all fuel assemblies were offloaded to the spent fuel pool. The removal of fuel from the reactor vessel was completed on November 19, 1995. As of that date, all fuel assemblies were removed from the reactor vessel and placed in the spent fuel pool for temporary storage.

NNECO will submit at a later time the Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report and the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate in accordance with 10CFR50.82.

UNION OF CONCERNED Why Bid TVA Put Unit 1 SCIENTISTS Into "Administrative Hold?"

~ Most probable motive MONEY 8 TVA's debt is $ 29.8 billion, or $ 4,257 for every person living in the TVA service area.

~ TVA's estimated electricity sales in 1998 are $ 6.3 billion.

~ IfALLof TVA's sales income is applied to debt, it'l take 5 years to pay it off.

~ Not all of TVA's sales will be applied to debt. The debt willbe around for awhile.

UNION OF CONCERNED SClENTISTS Why Does It Matter' RAMWATWN

%According to a recent study, an accident at a .

permanently closed BWR plant could have the following consequences for. the area within 50 miles:

Population dose 38 million rem Latent fatalities 15,300 people Condemned land 140 square miles Total cost $ 48 billion

UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS What Should NRC Do'?

~M&IWII1

~ Compel TVA to bring Unit 1 into compliance with the requirements of its operating license.

OR

~ Compel TVA to place Unit 1 into the permanently closed category and submit a post-shutdown decommissioning activities report .

OR

~ Create regulations and/or regulatory guidance.

applicable to plants in "administrative hold."
