United States :4uclear l Regulatory Commission, Region IV 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 1000 Arlington, TX 76012 RE: License R-88 Docket 50-188 -

Dear Sirs:

This concerns the ultimate decommissioning of the Kansas State University TRIGA Nuclear Reactor Facility, currently licensed for operation by the University until August 15, 2001. Pursuant to Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 50, this is to assure that the University, an entity of the State of Kansas, will obtain the funds for decommissioning-when necessary.

It is our intention, at the appropriate time, to request an I

extension of the Reactor Facility operating license beyond the August 2001 termination of the current license. Never-theless, whenever a decision is reached to decommission the facility, the University will request legislative appropri-ation of funds, or otherwise provide funds sufficiently in advance of decommissioning to prevent delay of required activities.

Enclosed is a preliminary cost estimate for decommissioning of the Reactor Facility. The cost estimate was prepared on the basis of the methods described in the May 1989 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Draft Regulatory Guide on " Assuring the Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reac-tors." Cost escalation f actors other than thoss prescribed in publications cited by the Guide cla beaed on U.S.

Department of Labor statistics.

With assurance that I have the authority to sign this statement of intent, I am Yours truly, A r, a es R. Coffm ovost Encl.
