CONFIRMATIVE ACTION LETTER

Dear Mr. Nardi:

This will confirm our telephone conversation on June 10, 1993, in which we stated that the fire-retardant foam in the packaging described in Certificate of Compliance No. 9019 may not contain the typical 3.2% boron as stated for the chemical composition for the foam.

Presence of boron was used in the criticality safety analysis for an array of damaged packages.

Based on that conversation, I understand that you will not use the Model No.

BU-7 packaging, without prior approval of the NRC. Request for approval i

should include the type and form of material, the maximum quantity of material per package, the amount of boron present in your packagings and your criticality safety analysis for a damaged array.

If my understanding is not in accordance with your actions, or should you decide to make shipments in the Model No. BU-7 packagings prior to review and approval by the NRC, please contact me immediately.

Sincerely, Original Signed by P""M Z. EACDONALD Charles E. MacDonald, Chief l
