Dear Dr. Reid,

West Virginia University is currently licensed, under License No. R-58, Amendment No.

6, to " possess, but not to operate" an AGN-211 P nuclear reactor.

It is also licensed to possess up to 900 grams of contali.ad uranium-235 under this license.

The intention of the University at the time this amendment was sought was to find a suitable educational institution to whicn to transfer the reactor and to decommission the facility.

Numerous delays have been encountered in this process, but a decommissioning plan is now nearing completion.

Unfo r tuna tely,

License No. R-58 is also about to expire.

Therefore, we wish to request that 1.

License R-58 ce extended temporarily for 12 months to allow time for decommissioning.

2.

Condition C.4 of License R-58 be amended to allow, or not be construed to pronibit, transfer of the fuel to a suitably licensed party.

We believe that decommissioning of the f acility and termination of the license can be best accomplished if these amendments are granted, f(j' S

Sincerely, L
