Docket No. 50-243, License No. R-106

Subject:

License amendment application for the purpose of demonstrating 99Mo production capability in the OSTR Mr. Balazik:

The purpose of this letter is to inform the Commission that it is the intent of OSU to submit a license amendment application in the second quarter of 2017 for the purpose of irradiating targets in the OSTR to support the production of 99Mo in a small reactor. This will build on the currently pending license amenement submitted in April of 2012 for demonstration of these same targets. We believe that these targets are capable of safely producing commercially viable quantities of 99Mo. As you are aware, there is no current domestic supply of 99Mo.

Oregon State University is working collaboratively with Northwest Medical Isotopes, a limited liability company also located here in Corvallis, Oregon, to solve this pressing national need.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely, Director cc: Document Control, USNRC Craig Bassett, USNRC Dr. Ron Adams, OSU Dr. Rich Holdren, OSU Dr. Andy Klein, OSU Carolyn Haass, NWMI
