Dear Dr. Bernard:
1 In reference to your letter of February 2,1990, please be advised that 'the L
Department of Energy's (DOE) budget for FY 1990 and FY 1991 does-not include G
any funds to support-the conversion of the MIT Reactor to low enriched-uranium.
L Our first priority is to_ complete the conversion of university-based nuclear research reactors subject to the NRC rule with funds available to the Department.
Sincerely, n
