Docket No. 50-184
Dear Mr. Hiller:
We have completed our review of the Draf t Environmental Impact Statement l
concerning the license renewal and power increase for the National Bureau of Standard s Research Keactor (NUREG-0877 j.
We believe the proposal has been very well described in the subject document and we have no objections to the reissuing of the license and the power increase of the National Bureau of Standards Ecactor.
Routine releases from the reactor (page 4-4) appear small.
The primary air release is Argon-41, which has a short (1.8 hr. ) half-life, which has nonreactive chemical properties, and which will not concentrate in food chains. The inonitoring system is adequate (pages 4 -17 through 4-20).
In view of the low impact of this action we have rated the proposal LO-1.
This rneans we lack objections to the project and believe that the Impact Statement adequately covers all phases of the proposal.
We thank you for the opportunity to review the document.
Sincerely'yours, ' 7
