Dear Dr. Mulder:

SUBJECT:
ISSUANCE OF ORDER MODIFYING LICENSE R-66 TO CONVERT FROM HIGH-l TO LOW-ENRICHED URANIUM (AMENDMENT 20) - UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA j
POOL REACTOR (TAC NO. M82824)
.l The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an order modifying i
facility Operating License R-66, Amendment 20, for the University of Virginia j
pool reactor. The order (Enclosure 1) modifies the license in accordance with l
Section 50;64 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reaulations (10 CFR), which requires that a non-power reactor such as yours convert to low-enriched' l
uranium (LEU) fuel under certain conditions. The order is being issued in.
accordance with 10 CFR 50.64(c)(3) and in response to your. submittal of November 9,1989, as supplemented on February 12, 1991, and December 14, 1992.
j contains the changes to technical specifications, and Enclosure 3 is'the staff Safety Evaluation Report. The order contains.an outline of a reactor startup report that you are required to provide to the NRC within six months following completion of LEU fuel loading.
?
The order will become effective on the later date of either receipt of the
)!
replacement core of LEU fuel elements or 30 days following the date of publication of this order in the Federal Reaister, provided there are no j
requests for a hearing.
If a hearing is requested, the order will become.
effective on the date specified in an order following further proceedings on j
this order. Please inform me when you receive LEU fuel elements and when the i
high-enriched uranium fuel is completely removed from your facility. Also, l
License Condition 2.B.2. has been amended to allow possession, but not
~j separation, of special nuclear material (SNM) produced by operation of the reactor. This condition was implied under the terms of the license but was l

Dr.
R. U. Mulder April 29, 1993 not stated explicitly.
Because the normal operation of the reactor produces SNM, License Condition 2.B.2. has been clarified to include SNM that is l
produced in the fuel.
A copy of the Safety Evaluation Report and replacement pages for the technical l
specifications is enclosed with the order.
