One Narragansett Trail Wood River Junction, Rhode Island 02894 Gentlemen:
This is in response to your letter dated August 21, 1981 which transmitted a complete revision to your Decommissioning Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan.
We have determined that the proposed revision is gcnerally acceptable; however, to ensure that all relevant requiremcats are satisfied, we have found it necessary to require that your material control and accounting progrm be modified in certain areas. Accordingly, the new license i
conditions reflected in Enclosure 1 are being added to your license.
The rationale for imposing these conditions is also provided as appro-priate. These new conditions were discussed with Mr. Gregg of your staff on October 2,1981.
In order to incorporate the new conditions.
required exemptions, and withdraw obsolete conditions, Sections 1.0 through 8.0 of Amendment MPP-2 to Special Nuclear Material License No.
SNM-777 are hereby revised as set forth in Enclosure 2, effective immediately.
l We have determined that the enclosure to your letter dated August 21, l
1981 contains information of a type specified in 2.790(d).
