SUBJECT:

YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION - APPROVAL OF FINAL STATUS SURVEY REPORTS TBN-01, NOL-01, WST-01, AUX-01, AND NYS-12

Dear Mr. van Noordennen:

By letters dated February 20, 2006, March 30, 2006, April 17, 2006, and May 11, 2006, Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC) submitted final status survey reports (FSSRs) for the following survey units:

TBN-01 A class 1 area consisting of the remaining concrete floors and exposed foundations of the former turbine building and the circulating water discharge piping.

NOL-01 A class 1 open land area in the former radiologically controlled area where the spent fuel pool, ion exchange pit, vapor container elevator foundation, the north and south decontamination pads and the fuel transfer enclosure were located.

WST-10 A class 1 area consisting of the former foundation of the Old potentially contaminated area storage building.

AUX-01 A class 1 area consisting of the remaining primary auxiliary building walls that lie within the spent fuel pool excavation footprint.

NYS-12 A class 1 area consisting of the base for Tank-1 and a subsurface pipe chase that connected the Tank-1 base to the auxiliary boiler room in the turbine building.

By e-mails dated April 10, 2006, June 14, 2006, and September 5, 2006, the staff forwarded requests for additional information on the subject FSSRs to YAEC. YAEC responded by e-mail dated January 18, 2007.

Based on our review of the submitted FSSRs and the licensees responses to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) comments on the FSSRs, we have determined that the subject FSSRs are consistent with the previously approved License Termination Plan and are therefore acceptable.
