Our specific comments are given in the attachment.
We would appreciate receipt of the requested additional information, including revised pages for Section 200, within sixty (60) days, to permit timely continued effort on your application.

QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ON AMENDMENT APPLICATION, PAGES DATED MARCH 1, 1979, UNITED NUCLEAR CORPORATION, DOCKET N0.70-820 1.
Subsection 201, Division Organization - The text on this page refers to the Manager, Fuel Recovery Operations, but should describe the division organization.
2.
Figures 201-1 and 201-II - The text on para. 201 and these figures do not describe a clearly consistent entity.
(a)
If the General Manager shown on Figure 201-II is not the Division General Manager, (and it is not clear that he is) the figures are not consistent and need to be redone.
(b) The right half of Figure 201-II shows " future blocks of uncertain purpose, including the position of NIS in the chain of command, that require clarification. There appears to be a hazard that NIS could be placed under the control of the operations group and subject to undue pressure.
