SUBJECT:

Transport of Manhattan College Zero Power Reactor (MCZPR) Spent Fuct to ORNL

Dear Mr. MacDonald:

Manhattan College is currently preparing to replace the llEU fuel elements in the MCZPR with LEU fuel that is being fabricated by Babcock and ditcox. The spent fuel, which has essentially negligible burnup and low surface radiation levels because of the very low power level (0.1 watt) and low total operating time, will be shipped to ORNL as scrap in DOT 6m Type B packages. We have been informed by the DOE that B&W will ship the new LEU fuel elements to us in 6M packages, which we will then use for the llEU fuel clements.

We have prepared and are submitting for your approval, as required by 10 CFR Part 71,(1) a Quality Assurance Plan (Attachment 1) for the procurement and use of the 6M containcts to ship the spent fuel to ORNL (2). Procedures for llEU Shipping from Manha: tan College Nuclear Reactor Facility using a DOT 6M type B container (Attachment 11).

We have also included, for completeness, a cepy of the B&W Certificate of Complianee you issued for the DOT 6M Type B containers that will be used in this shipment (Attachment 111). In addition our correspondence with ORO providing the parameters of the spent fuct is included as Attachment IV.

P! case let rn c know if any additional information is required to obtain approval or this shipment.

Sincerely, o
