U.S. Geological Survey TRIGA Reactor (GSTR), Docket 50-274, License R-113, Request for Additional Information dated June 28, 2016
Subject:
Request for additional response time for RAI clarifications Mr. Wertz:
Your letter of June 28, 2016 for additional clarification related to the renewal of the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) TRIGA reactor requested that responses be provided within 30 days. Unfortunately we have not had sufficient staff time available to address the questions within 30 days. Summer vacations, a major change in facility staffing, and the TRTR conference in August are further restricting the staff time available. I assure you that we are working on responses to the RAI questions, which (including subparts) total 94 questions. In a telephone conference with U.S. NRC staff on 7/5/16, we were told that there is a deadline of 12/31/2016 to get the USGS license renewal done. We will try to support that deadline as much as possible. Therefore I request that we be given an additional 40 days to respond, ending September 6, 2016.
Sincerely, 1)0~-'Q~~
