December 10, 2019 Dr. Wei Ji, Facility Director RPI Critical Experiments Facility Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute JEC room 5040 110 8th Street Troy, NY 12180-3590
SUBJECT:
RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE - SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR ACCEPTANCE OF THE APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE AMENDMENT RE MODIFICATION TO THE RESTRICTED AND EXCLUSION AREAS FOR THE RENEWED FACILITY LICENSE NO. CX-22 (EPID: L-2019-LLA-0254)
Dear Dr. Ji By letter dated July 11, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML19205A066), the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the RPI critical experiment facility. The proposed LAR would modify the RPIs technical specifications regarding its restricted and exclusion areas.
Consistent with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.90, Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit, an application to amend a license (including the technical specifications) must be filed with the Commission, as specified in 10 CFR 50.4, Written communications. The application must fully describe the changes desired, and follow, as far as applicable, the form prescribed for the original application. Section 50.34, Contents of applications; technical information, of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required and stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff performed an acceptance review of the LAR and determined that the information described in the enclosure to this letter is needed to find the application acceptable and begin the detailed technical review. Accordingly, the NRC staff requests a supplement to the application to address the information described in the enclosure to this letter by February 21, 2020. If the supplement is not received by the agreed date, the application will not be accepted for review pursuant to 10 CFR 2.101, Filing of application, and the NRC may cease its associated review activities. Any request for additional time to provide the supplement should include the reason for requesting additional time and a proposed date to provide the supplement to allow the NRC staff to make an informed decision on whether to grant the request.
W. Ji The information requested and associated time frame in this letter were discussed with Glenn Winters, Operations Supervisor, on December 5, 2019, and with you and you staff members on December 12 and December 16, 2019, respectively.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1404, or by electronic mail at Xiaosong.Yin@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
