Dear Mr. Page:
mo d Pursuant to 10 C.F.R.
SS 30.34(b), 40.46, and 70.36, United Nuclear Corporation, a Delaware corporation (" United")
and UNC Resources, Inc.
(" Resources"), a Virginia corporation, which owns all of the outstanding capital stock of United hereby request the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the
" Commission") to give its written consent to amendment of the above-referenced licenses to change the name of the licensee to UNC Naval Products, Division of UNC Resources, Inc.
The licensed activities have been conducted by United through its division named UNC Naval Products (the " Division").
It is proposed that such activities shall hereafter be conducted through a division of Resources, also named UNC Naval Products.
Management of United and Resources is of the opinion that restructuring the Division as a division of Resources will be advantageous in better maintaining the overall separateness of such business from other businesses conducted by United (pres-ently, its most significant other business is the mining and milling of uranium).
Because most of the business of the Divi-sion has consisted of work under contracts with the U.
S. Naval Reactors Program, this business has special needs and responsi-bilities relating to such matters as security and accounting not generally applicable to United's other businesses.
The proposed restructuring of the Division will not effect any substantive change in the present obligations and responsi-bilities of the Division with respect to the licenses proposed to be transferred.
All of the business and properties of the Division will be transferred to Resources, which will assume the agreement. obligations, and responsibilities of United relating to such business and properties.
It is anticipated that all Y$

page two Division emplcyees will become employees of Resources with no change in management positions or relationships.
All state-ments, representations, agreements, and procedures contained in the applications and correspondence filed by United and identi-fied in the licenses listed in Exhibit A and amendments thereto will be applicable and binding upon Resources.
All insurance policies of United applicable to the Division that are presently in effect pursuant to the provisions of the Price-Anderson Act will remain unchanged, with appropriate endorsements to reflect the restructuring of the Division.
The proposed transfers of licenses are in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the " Atomic Energy Act").
They would not affect any of the substantive findings previously made in connection with the issuance of the licenses, as amended, specifically:
1.
The activities conducted under each license, as amended, will not be changed as a result of the restructuring of the Division.
Therefore, based upon prior findings by the Commission, the activities will be conducted for purposes authorized by the Atomic Energy Act and will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
(10 C.F.R.
SS 30.33 (a) (1), 40.32(a) and (d), and 70.23 (a) (1).
2.
The equipment, facilities and procedures at the Division's Montville, Connecticut plant will not be changed as a result of the restructuring of the Division.
Therefore, based upon prior findings by the Commission, the equipment, facilities and proced-ures will remain adequate to protect health and minimize damage to life and property.
(10 C.F.R.
SS 30.33(a) (2), 40.32(c) and 70.23(a) (3) and (4).
3.
The Division's personnel and their technical qualifications will not be changed as a result of the restructuring.
Therefore, based upon prior findings by the Commission, Resources will be qualified by training and experience to use the materials _under the licenses, as amended, in a manner as to protect health and minimize danger to life and property.
(10 C.F.R SS 30.33 (a) (3), 40.32(b), and 70.23 (a) (2)).
Mr.
R.
G. Page, Chief Uranium Fuel Licensing Bureau page three 4.
All of t he operating assets of the Division will become assets of Resources.
It is submitted that, with respect to licenses issued pursuant to Part 70, Resources will be financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized by those licenses, including any decomissioning costs.
(10 C.F.R. S 70.23(a) (5)).
5.
The directors and principal officers of United and Resources will all be United States citi-zens, and neither United nor Resources is dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation, or a foreign government.
Since none of the licenses were issued pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act (4 2 U.S.C.
S 2133), no antitrust review is required in connection with the issuance of the requested amendments (42 U.S.C. S 2135).
Since the issuance of the requested consents is not an action described in 10 C.F.R.
S 51.5(a) or (b), it does not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement, negative declaration or environmental impact appraisal. (10 C.F.R.
S 51. 5 (d) (4 ) ).
Since the requested consents relate only to a change in corporate ownership and not to any substantive change in the terms of the licenses, as amended, the requested consents would not authorize any change in the types, or any increase in the amounts, of effluents or any increase in the potential for accidental releases under the licenses.
No prior notice is required under the Atomic Energy Act or the regulations thereunder in order for the Commission to issue the requested consents.
United and Resources further request that all applications of the UNC Naval Products Division of United pending before the Commission at the time the restructuring becomes effective be deemed to be applications of UNC Naval Products Division of Resources, and that the statements contained herein be incorpor-ated in such applications.
Your early attention to our request for consents to trans-fers of the subject licenses would be greatly appreciated.
This request modifies and superse6as the request made in letter dated January 19, 1981, addressed to you by United Nuclear Corporation and UNC Naval Products, Inc.
