SUBJECT:
AEROTEST OPERATIONS, INC. AMENDMENT NO. 19 TO INDEMNITY AGREEMENT NO. B-2 (CAC NO. MF6254, EPID NO. L-2017-PMP-0015)
Dear Dr. Slaughter:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued Amendment No. 19 to Indemnity Agreement No. B-2 between the NRC and Aerotest Operations, Inc. (Aerotest), the licensee for the Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor (ARRR). The NRC has issued the amendment in response to Aerotests change in its method of providing financial protection from insurance to a financial protection standby trust (see Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17257A078). The amendment revises Items 2 and 5 of the Attachment to Indemnity Agreement No. B-2 to reflect that Aerotests method of providing financial protection is now a financial protection standby trust.
The amendment also makes other updates to Indemnity Agreement No. B-2. Specifically, the amendment revises Item 1 of the Attachment to Indemnity Agreement No. B-2 to reflect Aerotests current address, and Items 3, 4, and 6, of the Attachment to remove license numbers that are no longer applicable to Indemnity Agreement No. B-2 (according to Item 6 of current Indemnity Agreement No. B-2, the agreement ceased to be effective for these licenses other than Facility Operating License No. R-98 for the ARRR in 1967 or earlier). Additionally, the amendment further revises Item 4 of the Attachment to update the Location for Facility Operating License No. R-98 to reflect updated descriptions of the ARRR facility, and such that Indemnity Agreement No. B-2 would clearly cover all areas that could contain radioactive material controlled under Facility Operating License No. R-98 for the ARRR, based on information in the updated ARRR safety analysis report dated December 20, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18045A571).
Enclosed with this letter are two signed copies of the amendment. Please sign and date both copies, retain one for Aerotests records, and return the other to the following address:
Edward Helvenston, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001

Sincerely,
/RA/
