SUBJECT:
License Amendment to Reduce Allowable U-235 to 10 grams.
Dear Mr. Adams,
Please find enclosed the requested changes to paragraph 2.B of the facility license. These changes are in response to the shipment of all TRIGA fuel from the facility in August of 2004.
This will place the amount of special nuclear material allowed at the facility below the level of low strategic significance (15 grams).
If there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
- Regards, Richard L. Holm Reactor Administator C: File
License Amendment to Reduce Allowable U-235 to 10 grams Currently paragraph 2.B of the facility license reads as follows; "B. Pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Part 70, "Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material, " to receive, possess and use up to 9.6 kilograms of contained uranium-235, of which 7.0 kilograms of contained uranium-235 isfor use in connection with the operation ofthe reactor and up to 2.6 kilograms of contained uranium-235 is for use in connection wi'ith operation of a subcritical assembly in the Bulk Shielding Facility of the reactor; uap to 20 grams ofthe contained uranium-235 is of any enrichment in the form offission chambers and the balance is contained uranium-235 enriched to less than 20 percent in the isotope uranium-235 in
