J J, Re: Recuest for Amendment to Certificate at Como12.ance ovat i
Dear Mr. MacDonald:
Union Carbide hereby requests that Certificate of Compliance 5957 for the Model BMI-l shipping cask be amended to include in the con-tents approved for shipment, containers of irradiated fissile target material.
This material, which is the end product of our process for irradiating and separating medical radioisotopes, has been disposed of as radioactive waste in the past.
In the future we will recover the material and ship it to a reprocessor.
The containers we propose to use are of similar materials, dimensions, and materials as MTR fuel elements which are already ap-proved for the BMI-1 shipping cask.
The same baskets can be used as are already designed fabricated and licensed. We have engaged Battelle Columbus Laboratories, the primary licensee of the cask, to perform a safety analysis of the differences between the proposed and already approved contents.
The safety analysis will be sent to you directly by Eattelle in early August. Since we will be shipping spent reactor fuel in the BMI-l shipping cask during the month of September we ask that the license be amended as soon as possible to allow us to make our first shipment of reclaimed target material in September while we have the cask.
This matter has been discussed with Mr. Richard Odegaarden of your staff some weeks ago.
In an attempt to expedite matters we are filing the license amendment fee at this time to avoid any delay when the safety analysis is available to you.
Attached you will find a check for $2,800.00 to cover the fee for a miner amendment to Certifi-cate of Compliance 5957.

Yours very truly, pC "!j @ ~..,
