By letter dated March 26, 1981 as supplerented by letter dated April 15, 1981, you su5nitted a revision of the University of Lowell Physical Security Plan for your pool-type reactor, License No. R-125. We have reviewed the submittals and have concluded that the revision meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.67 for j
the protection of special nuclear material of moderate strateoic sionificance.
Since the current MRC-approved physical security plan should properly be reflected in the license authorization for your facility, we are herewith issuing Amen 6ent No. 4 to Facility License No. R-125 which identifies your currently approved physical security plan.
Changes which would not decrease the effectiveness of your approved physical security plan nay be made without prior approval by the Comission pursuant to the authnrity of 10 CFR 50.54(p). Changes which do require prior NRC approval should be submitted and identified as Ifcense amendnent requests.
Based on the fact that this license amendment applies to the physical security plan and incorporates into the license the latest requirements of your updated physical security plan, we have concluded that:
(1) the scentent does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of accidents previously considered, i
does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, l
and, therefore, does not involve a significant hazards consider-ation; (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by this action; and l
I (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations and the issuance of this arendnent will not be ininical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

Dear Mr. Duff:
By letter dated March 26, 1981 as supplemented by letter dated April 15, 1981, you submitted a revision of the University of Lowell Physical Security Plan for your pool-type reactor, License No. R-125. We have reviewed the submittals and have concluded that the revision meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.67 for the protection of special nuclear material of moderate 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 Amendment No. 4 to Facility License No. R-125 which identifies your currently approved physical security plan.
Changes which would not decrease the effectiveness of your approved physical 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..
Based on the fact that this license amendment applies to the physical security plan and incorporates into the license the latest requirements of your updated physical security plan, we have concluded that:
(1) the amendment does not involve a significant ircrease in the probability or consequence of accidents previously considered, does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, and, therefore, does not involve a significant hazards consider-ation; (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by this action; and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
