SUBJECT:

ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTUTE - DOCKETING DETERMINATION AND OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEARING AND PETITION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE REGARDING THE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. ME1587)

Dear Colonel Huff:

By letter dated June 24, 2004, as supplemented by letters dated March 4, August 13, August 25, September 27, October 19, and October 21, 2010; February 7, June 3, June 20, September 6, October 20, and November 28, 2011; and January 17, April 20, and September 21, 2012, the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-84 for the AFRRI Reactor.

Based on initial review of the application, as supplemented, the NRC staff determined that AFRRI submitted sufficient information such that the application, as supplemented, is acceptable for docketing in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 50.33 and 50.34. However, the NRC staffs determination does not preclude requests for additional information as the review proceeds.

The notice has been sent to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. The notice provides the opportunity to request a hearing and to file a petition for leave to intervene.

L. Huff If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me by phone at 301-415-3398 or via e-mail at Cindy.Montgomery@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
