We have concluded that answers to the concerns raised in your November 30, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16336A729), letter to Mr. Rao Tammara have been provided to you in previous correspondence.

We recognize that your views on the adequacy of previous analyses and evaluations differ from the views of the NRC staff.
