SUBJECT:

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURIAPPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO RESPOND TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING LICENSE RENEWAL (TAC NO. ME1580)

Dear Mr. Butler:

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received an electronic mail (e-mail) from Leslie Foyto dated January 23, 2011, which summarized discussions between your staff and staff of the NRC, requesting additional time to complete the responses to our request for additional information (RAI) provided by NRC letters dated May 6 and June 1, 2010. By letters dated July 16, August 31, September 3 and 30, October 29, and November 30, 2010, and March 11, September 8, 2011, and January 6, 2012, you provided partial responses to our questions. You requested that answers to the remaining RAIs be submitted by April 13, 2012.

Based on our review, we agree with your extension request noting that the additional work needed to address RAI responses involves significant computer code modeling and validation.

Additionally, MURR has demonstrated good progress with completing the RAI responses as provided in your January 6, 2012 letter, and continues to maintain good communication with the NRC license renewal project manager.

The new date for the completion of the remaining RAI responses is April 13, 2012. Please provide a monthly status on your progress. If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone at 301-415-0893 or by e-mail at Geoffrey.wertz@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Geoffrey A. Wertz, Project Manager Research and Test Reactors Licensing Branch Division of Policy and Rulemaking Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No.: 50-186 cc: See next page
