SUBJECT:

TEXAS A & M UNIVERSITY - APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION, RE: RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED JULY 25, 2011 (TAC NO. ME1588)

Dear Dr. Hassan:

By letter dated December 22, 2011, you requested an extension to February 15, 2012 to complete responses to four remaining requests for additional information (RAI). We have reviewed and approved your request for the following reasons: 1) you have experienced technical difficulty capturing data needed to respond to the RAIs, 2) you are seeking assistance from another similar reactor who has experience capturing such data and 3) you have maintained good communication with the license renewal project manager regarding the status of your RAI response.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.30(b), you must execute your response in a signed original document under oath or affirmation. Your response must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4, Written Communications.

Information included in your response that is considered security, sensitive, or proprietary, that you seek to have withheld from the public, must be marked in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding. Following receipt of the additional information, we will continue our evaluation of your renewal request.

If you have any questions regarding this review, please contact me at (301) 415-3724 or by electronic mail at Duane.Hardesty@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
