NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Docket No. 50-213, License No. DPR-61Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company; Receipt of Petition for Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206

Notice is hereby given that by petition dated March 13, 1998, Citizens Awareness Network Inc., has requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) take action with regard to the Haddam Neck plant. Petitioner requests that NRC immediately suspend the licensee's operating license.

As the basis for this request, the petitioner states that the licensee has failed to adequately exercise radiological controls. The petitioner further states that the licensee's proposal to cool the spent fuel pool by ventilating the spent fuel storage building with ambient air through doors and roof hatches, in the event that the new spent fuel pool cooling system is unavailable, would constitute an unmonitored and unplanned release of radiation into the environment.

The request is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the Commission's regulations. The request has been referred to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As provided by Section 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on this petition within a reasonable time. A copy of this petition is available for inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555-0001.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of April 1998.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Samuel J. Collins, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
