Dear Captain Tyler:

l By letter dated October 3,1980, you submitted a revision of the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) Physical Security Plan for your TRIGA reactor, License No. R-84 We have reviewed the submittal and have concluded that the revision meets the requirenents of 10 CFR 73.67 for the l
protection of special nuclear material of low strategic significance. Since the current NRC-approved physical security plan should properly be reflected in the license authorization for your facility, we are herewith issuing Amendrent No.17 to Facility License No. R-84 which identifies your currently approved physical security plan.
Changes which would not decrease the effectiveness of your approved ohysical security plan may be made without prior approval by the Commission pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p). Changes which do require prior NRC approval should be submitted and identified as license amendment requests.

or 10 kgs or more of low strategic significance (10 CFR 73.67(g)).
Based on the fact that this license amendment apolies to the physical security plan and incorporates into the license the latest requirements of your updated l
physical security plan, we have concluded that:
(1) the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of accidents previously considered, does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, j
I l and, therefore, does not involve a significant hazards consider-ation; (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the l
