SGML:HB NOV 2 1979 70-734 General Atomic Company ATTN: Mr. William R. Howry Licensing Administrator P. O. Box 81608 San Diego, California 92138 Gentlemen:

We have reviewed your letter dated September 12, 1979 and attachments, requesting higher LEID limits than those specified in 10 CFR 70.51(e)(6) for the HTGR Fuel Fabrication (Plant I).

We have determined that the LEID model and supporting data are appropriate to meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 70.51(e)(6) and that the granting of the higher LEID limit will not adversely affect the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest. Accordingly, we are revising present License Condition 3.2 to Amendment MPP-1 to License No. SNM-696, effective ininediately to read as follows:

3.2 In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 7G.51(e)(6),

the licensee shall establish and maintain a system of material control and accounting such that the LEID values for the HTGR Fuel Fabrication Operations (Plant I) shall not exceed 1400 grams uranium and 1300 grams uranium-235 for each material balance period during the period October 1,1979 through September 30, 1980.

Please note that 10 CFR 70.51(e)(6)(ii) requires that the licensee " initiate...

a program to achieve improvements in his material control so as to meet the limits specified in paragraph (e)(5) of this section." This data should be maintained at your facility and should be rude available for periodic NRC review upon request.

~~

We have detennined that the attachment to your letter dated September 12, 1979 contains information of a type specified in 10 CFR 2.790(d).
