Dear Mr. Jones:

Gray File "2,,

y In reply to your letter of August 27, 1981, the issuance of aut iMpiph to store source material in the fom of urarrium hexafluoride (UF6 Fort Calhoun site could be accommodated by the issuance of a source material license by the State of Nebraska or NRC. He have discussed this matter with Nebraska regulatory officials and they favor issuance of a license s

by NRC. We are therefore treating your letter of August 27, 1981, with its 3(tached technical infomation, as an application to MRC for on-site storage of UF. This course of action has been discussed with and agreed G

to by your staff.

In conducting a review of your August 27 letter, we have determined the need for cdditional infomation, identified in the enclosure to this letter, to complete ourcreview of this natter. Your response should be scheduled so as to allow us a 45-day period for final review and processing of your application.

We view your proposed activity as requiring a new source material 1,icense and therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 170.31, a license fee of $140 will be required. You are requested to remit this amount with your response to this letter.

Plea e contact us if you have any questions concerning this request.

Sincerely, Onginal signed by Robert A. Clark Robert A. Clark, Chief 811130040781111$

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A.

Storage Area A.l.

Provide a facility plot plan showing the proposed storage location and its relationship to ventilation 1ntakes and prevailing winds at the Fort Calhoun Station.

A.2.

Describe the cylinder storage conditions (e.g. existing ground with or without cylinder cradles, concrete or asphalt pad with or without cyclinder cradles, hold-down straps, inside or outside storage, security fences, stacking cylinders, cylinder valve pro-tection,. fire protection).

B.'~' Inspection Program B.1 Describe your ir(spection program for receipt and prior to transfer.

~

Include your criteria for rejecting the cylinder (s) and planned actions you will take to make the cylinder (s) acceptable for-receipt or transfer.

B.2 Describe your inspection program for long-te m storage.

Include your criteria for determining if. a cylinder is no longer acceptable for storage and planned actions you will take to make the cylinder acceptable for continued storage..

C.

Industrial Accidents C.

Provide a discussion and assessment of the following industrial accidents to include (1) preventive measures, (2) health, safety and environmental impact to cylinder storage area, other station areas (e.g. containment building, turbine building), and beyond the site boundaries if the accident should occur, and (3) your personnel, procedures, equipment and facilities for dealing with these accidents if they should occur.

C.1 Failure of a cylinder either during on-site handling or storage whe1 the cylinder contains only solid UF -

6 C.2 Failure of a cylinder either during on-site handling or storage when the cylinder contains gaseous UF.

6 C.3 Failure of a cylinder either during on-site handling or storage when the cylinder contains liquid UF. This is unnecessary if 6

it can be shown that such a condition is incredible.
