Dear Ivan,
I noted that you are NRC Commission Chairman. Congratulations on thi position of national importance, nb $hy@dy.
qqpMp,- p li$!Nk$h&$h@e@p.:
Mm 4 gpc UMR has a small training reactor. It is used only for education am -
training, but it is a critical element in our nuclear engineering program. Our nuclea -
engineering program is already extremely expensive on a per student basis. I fee that UMR is serving an important role in meeting the nation's need for nuclea.
engineers, and I am, therefore, willing to continue this h!;h-en t p.agram. Th -
proposed $62,000 annual fee seems to be inappropriate for a facility which has the sole function of meeting the nation's need for education and training.
My comments concerning increased fees for nuclear reactors do not hold foi all universities.
The University of Missouri-Columbia reactor, for example.
generates significant income from outside customers, and serves a function broades than education and training. They will simply adjust their fees to cover the increased costs. This option, however, is not available for a reactor dedicated to education anc training.
I hope that you will use your influence to encourage. a reconsideration of the proposed NRC fees as they relate to nuclear reactors that have been specifically designed and used for education and training. UMR has an extremely tight budget and the proposed $62,000 fee is a signiricant concern to us.
Please give me a call if you have any additional coraments or questions. I N8[. N:d N.* d. d' would be pleased to further discuss this matter with you.
