Reference:
Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (OSTR),
License No. R-106, Docket No. 50-243 Gentlemen:
Oregon State University would like to formally request that the OSTR be granted an extension to the November 3, 1981 deadline for submitting a revised emergency response plan, as per the current requirements in 10 CFR 50.47(r). We base this request on the following two important factors:
1.
The current state of OSTR emergency planning and preparedness is, in our opinion, more than adequate to compensate for any type of accident we can reasonably project for the OSTR, including the maximum design basis accident analyzed in our Safety Analysis Report.
In addition, as part nf our emergency planning we regularly conduct emergency response training for our staff and the staffs of our local emergency support agencies, including our local hospital, fire, campus security, police, and county emergency services groups. We also conduct training drills on a regular schedule to exercise various aspects of our emergency plan, and maintain a number of emergency equipment locker.; throughout our facility, plus those at the Corvallis Fire Department and at the local hospital..

Submission of a revised emergency response plan by November 3, 1981 would largely be based on current NRC guidance for preparing such a plan, and would not result in a plan fully acceptable to your organization.
We have been infonned regarding your intent to issue revised and updated guidance for research reactor emergency planning in the near future. As a result of this planned action on your part, we feel that it would be far better for both of us if our plan were submitted after we received and reviewed the new guidance and modified our plan appropriately. We feel, should you be able to grant us the requested extension, that necessary modifications and revisions to our current emergency plan could be submitted to you within a reasonable time after we receive the new NRC guidance. Perhaps an interval of approximately six months would be acceptable.
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to your reply.
If you require additional information regarding this matter, please let me know.
Sincerely yours, C. H.
