Portland General Electric Company; Receipt of Petition for Rulemaking

Resumen

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received and requests public comment on a petition for rulemaking filed by the Portland General Electric Company. The petition has been docketed by the Commission and has been assigned Docket No. PRM-72-2. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend its regulations which govern independent storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to specifically include radioactive waste produced from reactor operations pending its transfer to a permanent disposal facility. The petitioner believes that its proposal would clarify the process for interim storage pending transfer for disposal of this class of material.
