P.O. Box 2800 Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401-

Dear Mr. Lohse:

A completed, but unsigned copy of DOE /NRC Form Number 741 is enclosed.

Your comments concerning its completeness and correctness will be appreciated.

As I mentioned on the telephone, we would like. Exxon, if possible~ to attempt to determine the serial numbers of the individual fuel plates in our shipment.

Apparently some early modifications of the FHU's led to a4erial number mix-up.

We, and the NRC, would like to remove the unknown serial numbers from our inventory 1.is t.

We are still trying for June 21 'as the shipping'date from UCLA.

Sincerely, Y O.h Heill C. Ostrander, Manager Nuclear Energy Laboratory NCO/jo i

w Ingroduction l

The Nuclear Energy Laboratory at UCLA possesses five equivalent bundles l

In storage pits adj ac'ent to the reactor, of irradiated, MTR-type fuel elecents.

j, this particular holding consists of:

]~

T four complete bundles (assembled), cach containing eleven (a)

~

plates; one modified bundle of eight plates and three aluminum dummy (b) t k

plates; 1

(c) three loose plates.

The fuel is nominally 93% enriched uranium in an aluminum matrix with a total Measurements of the four conplete U-235 content of approximately 700 graes.

bundles show radiation levels ranging from 1.36 to 1.74 R/hr at 1 meter.

a dense packed arrangement of the entire shipment Thus, it is unlikely that The Nttelear, Energy I

i would yield more than 1.8 x 5. = 9.0 R/hr at one meter.

i Laboratory desires to transfer this fuel from their site to comply with the f

Upgrade Rule of 10.CFR.73.

The fuel is owned by the Department of Energy, and at their suggestion,

~ i f 1978 the Nuclear Energy Laboratory initiated the ef fort,in the summer o l

On August 14, I

to transfer the fuel to the Idaho Chemical Reprocessing P ant.

~...__ _

(formerly Idaho C5.emical Reprocessing I

The following organizations are involved in this transfer / shipment.

(b)

Org anization Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between the various working groups and.the license-holder (the Board of Regents). All official communi cations involving licensing that originate at UCLA, are to bear the nignature of f

Vice-Chancellor Hobson.' The point of contact at UCLA is Dr. Walter Wegst, Director, Research and Occupational Safety.

The Radiatidn Safety. Officer for the program is John C. Evraets, who is responsible f'or the Quality Assurance Program and its implementation (10.CFR.71.12).

The Nuclear Energy Laboratory has accepted responsibility for making the shipping arrangements, and for supplying the labor necessary to trans-port the fuel from the reactor rocm to the cask.

Profego_r _Catton has dele-gated the responsibility for shipping arrangements tt r. Ashbaugh), and will M

provida the labor and direction-as-necessary (via Mr. Ostrander) under the surveillance of Ibn Hornor, Resident Health Physicist (as deputy for the Radiation Safety Officer).

During this unique operation, Mr. Evraets will

~

assign Dr. John Kaufman (Environmental Health and Safety) to support Ik. Hornor.

Tee shipping arrangements, under the redponsibility of Mr. Ashbaugh, will ir lude prior notification o'f appropriate agencies and interests including (a) the Los Angeles Police Department; (b) the FBI; (c) the California Highway Patrol; (d)

County and/or State jurisdicticns along the transit path from UCLA to EX70N Nuclear, Idaho Falls, Idaho.

The UCLA Risk Management Coordinator shall be informed of these arrange-r.ents, and shall have authority (via the Purchasing Department) to approve the final arrange =ents.
