Dear Mr. Adams:

i

~

Your' office issued a revision to our facility license (Docket 50-274) late.last year so that we could receive reactor fuel from the Berkeley facility.

This revision increased our allowable fuel'from 5 kg to:.9 kg, with the provision that we would return j

the limit to 5.kg'after we had shipped our old fue3 back to^ DOE.

. Political problems with the Berkeley fuel disposition prevented us from' receiving-that fuel, although we were able to receive a i

smaller amount from the Michigan State facility.

We'are hoping j

to acquire more fuel'from another TRIGA facility to give us the 4

same net-effect as receiving the Berkeley fuel.

The end result l

of this is that.our fuel movement plans have'been significantly l

+

delayed and we have no definite schedule yet as to when we will be below 5 kg of fuel.on site..

We will keep you informed of our

.' progress and will apply to return our fuel possession limit to 5 kg as soon as we are able.

We also appreciate your patience and

-[

understanding in this matter.

I u

Sincerely, 7 'jf
