Dear fir. Withers:

i At the request of the IAEA for technical assistance, Sandia Laboratories has developed an improved surveillante system which is now ready to be tested at a nuclear power plant. Since an IAEA surveillance c wera will soon be in place at Trojan, this would be an ideal time and locE son to test the new surveillance system, since it would allow IAEA pr.sonnel to compare the two systems side-by-side.
We therefore would like to request your cooperation in permitting Sandia Laboratories to test this new equipment at Trojan for about a four-month period. More details concerning the equipment and desired field test are contained in the enclosure. Your cooperation would be much appreciated.
However, your participation in this program is strictly voluntary, and is not associated with the IAEA inspection activities at Trojan. The Project Officers from Sandia Laboratories and Brookhaven National Laboratory can meet with you or your staff to provide any additional information you may need.
Sincerely, C/II Origt signed by:
Robert A. Clark, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #3 Division of Licensing
