Subject:
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO IMPORT LICENSE ISNM01698, AMEN 0 MENT N0. 3 On July 18, 1977, Import License ISNM01698 was issued to Transnuclear, Inc.,
authorizing the import of 121.708 kilograms of uranium and 666 grams of produced plutonium in the form of irradiated research reactor fuel elements from EURATOM (SECY 77-384).
The license was amended May 26, 1978 to increase the quantity of material authorized for import to 399.408 ki'ograms of uranium and 1.486 kilograms of plutonium.
On August 28, 1979, Transnuclear requested another amendment to its license to increase the quantity by 243.65 kilograms of uranium and 920 grams of plutonium. This would bring the total material authorized for import under this license to 643.058 kilograms of uranium, containing 459.507 kgs U-235 and 2.406 kgs.of plutonium.
As in the case of the material originally covered under ISNM01698, the additional material is in the form of irradiated EURATOM research reactor fuel being returned to DOE facilities at Savannah River for reprocessing and recovery of residual uranium.
The incremental fuel will be packaged in the same type cask (IU-04-Pegase, certificate number USA /0100/B(U)F) and transported in the same mode as that under the basic license.
Aside from an increase in the quantity of material, the proposed amendment represents no material change from the considerations which governed the approval of the basic license and the first amendment. The staff finds, therefore, that the proposed amendment confonns with statutory requirements, that it will not be inimical to the common defense and security or constitute an undue risk to public health and safety and will have no significant environ-mental impact associated with it.
