' Theodore S. Michaels, Project Manager Standardization and Non Power Reactor Directorate Division of Reactor Projects Ill, IV, V and Special Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations I U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 SUBJ ECT: Personnel. Change in Position of Chief Reactor Supervisor at MCZPR

Dear Ted:

As indicated-in our conversation of June 4,1990, Dr. Jih Perns Hu, the Chief Reactor Supervisor,has resigned from the College and nolonger fills this position. Dr William Duggan has been hired as a full time faculty member and Chief Reactor Supervisor, starting with .

the beginning of the Fall 1990 semester in August. Dr. Duggan has a doctorate in nuclear

-engineering from Rensselcar Polytechnic Institute,has previously operated research reactors, and comes to us with extensive nuclear experience in the consulting field. His resume is attachea.

The fuct elements were removed from the reactor prior to Dr. Hu's departure, and have been

. placed in their storage containers. The reactor system is currently undergoing maintenance and will remain in lay up until Dr. Duggan is licensed as an SRO. We are attempting to schedule the SRO test for shortly af ter he joins the faculty. The delivery of the fuel elements is now tentatively scheduled for the early fall (another delay from the prior estimate). Should

!the new fuct elements arrive prior to Dr. Duggan receiving his SRO license, they will be stored unti1 his license is granted, at which time the loading of the new core will be-accomplished.

~

I will continue to update you on the status of the program.

Sincercly, lbb Dr. Robert E. Berlin Reactor Administrator Attachment cc: Dr. V. Antonetti g
