Dear Mr. Miller:

l University of Illinois Advanced TRIGA Reactor Facility License R-115 Docket No. 50-151

SUBJECT:

Request for permission to utilize an alternate start-up channel.

After further checks, we have found that the BF system is 3

compatible with the interlock circuit.

As a result, we will use normal operating procedures rather than those described in the first I

letter. The only change will be lowering the BF tube to the designated 3

position for a start-up and the later removal of the BF tube when 3

a power level of about 15 watts is reached.

We have not checked out this with the reactor in actual operation and-hence would prefer permission for either alternative.
