Director, Nuclear Facility School of Science & Engineering Seattle, Washington 90122 Gentlemen:
This is to confirm our telephone conversation of May 21, 1982, which included George Bidinger of the Licensing Section. The items discussed and documenta-tion requested are essential to continue the evaluation of your license renewal request.
Please provide the following:
1.
A description of the subcritical core, including support and spacer grids, fuel element spacers, etc.
Confirm that water moderator will have unrestricted flow to the center o* the annular fuel at all times (except when a rod is insertad in the core to remove a fuel element).
2.
Dimensions of fuel, minimum separation of fuel elements in the core lattice structure (square, hexagonal, etc.).
3.
A description of all fuel handling activities into and out of the core, reactivity monitoring during core loading, and use of neutron sources during such loading activities. A limit for reactivity (K-effective) should be provided. NOTE:
ANSI /ANS-8.6; " Safety in Conducting Subcritical Neutron-Multiplication Measurements in Situ," provides administrative and technical guidance on assembling subcritical arrays.
4 A description of types of experiments, including controls over additions of reactivity (e.g., additions of Pu sources, or more effective moderators or reflectors).

A description of the storage location of fuel when not in the core. Describe radiation levels of fuel.
6.
Description of administrative controls for use of special nuclear material (written procedures for fuel movenent, training of fuel handlers, etc.).
To mintain our schedule for the review of your application, it is desirehle that we receive the requested information by June 30, 1982.
If you have any questions.: please call me or Mr. Bidinger at 301-427-4510.
