Enclosure:
- 1. Research Direct vs. Commercial Direct Expense Analysis for FYl5 5 of6
- 1. The NRC staff request that MU provide an update to the information provided in the LRA SAR, Chapter 15, "Financial Qualifications," Table 15-1, "Costs of Operation of MU Research Reactor FY:05," on page 15-2, or confirm the statement made in SAR section 15.2, "Financial Ability to Operator a Non-Power Reactor," on page 15-1, that "the cost of conduction the [MURR's]
commercial activities is less than 50% of the cost of owning and operating the facility."
In response to the request for additional information, Enclosure 1, Research Direct vs. Commercial Direct Expense Analysis for FY15, confirms that the statement made in SAR Section 15.2, "Financial Ability to Operate a Non-Power Reactor," on page 15-1, that "the cost of conducting the [MURR's]
commercial activities is less than 50% of the cost of owning and operating the facility" is valid. The percent of total expenditures for owning and operating the MU Research Reactor Facility, based on the University fiscal year 2015, devoted to the production or materials, products, or energy for sale or distribution, or to the sale of services, other than research and development or education or training was 32%. The percent of total expenditures for the same period devoted to research and development or education or training was 68%. Enclosure 1 provides supporting information detailing these expenditures.

- 3 4
5 6 General Notes:
7 This analysis categorizes MURR's FY 2015 expenditures as research direct or commercial direct. It is used to verify MURR's Class 104 license with the NRC.
8 With a Class 104 license, at least 50% of MURR's expenditures must be research related. The table below reflects MURR's expense categorization and percent calculation.
9 Note that some of MURR's expenditures are not directly related to research or commercial. Such expenditures are categorized as indirect. Indirect 10 expenditures are allocated in aggregate to either research direct and commercial direct based upon the percentage of such direct expenditures to total direct 11 expenditures. Also note that some of the expenditures listed below include negative revenues as these should be interpreted as expenditures for purposes 12 of this analysis. Furthermore, some expenditures are excluded as they are transfers out instead of real expenditures.
