70-1359 APPLICANT:
FACILITY:
Convoy Court Facilities
SUBJECT:
REVIEW OF LICENSE AMENDMENT APPLICATION DATED MARCH 15, 1979
Background
The licensee is presently licensed to possess five (5) grams of U-233, 32 grams of plutonium,1400 grams of U-235 as enriched up to 3.3%, 200 grams U-235 as uranium enriched to between 3.3% and 4% and 50 grams of U-235 enriched to 93.3% or greater.
Because of a new experimental program they wish to change their U-235 possession limits to 1400 grams of U-235 as uranium enriched up to 4% and 500 grams of U-235 at greater than 4% enrichment.
For any combination thereof the total quantity of U-235 shall not exceed the amount defined by the following equation:
mass of U-235 (uo to 4%)
mass U-235 (over 4%)
1400 500
-I
+
The Pu and U-233 possession limits remain the same.
Nuclear Safety The total amount of SNM at the Convoy Court Facilities is less than a critical mass taking into account the materials and enrichments involved.
Radiological Safety and Environmental Incact The proposed change in the U-235 possession limit is not sufficient to adversely affect the licensee's radiological safety program or to cause any additional environmental impact.
