l Docket Nos. 50-62, 50-396 License.Nos. R-66, R-123 University.of Virginia I ATTN: Dr. R. U. Mulder, Director Reactor Facility' Charlottesville, VA" 22901 .

1 Gentlemen:-

SUBJECT:

FAMILIARIZATION TOUR RESIDENT INSPECTORS As :you know, one of. the .'issions of the NRC is to respond to a licensee's facility in case of a serious problem.or emergency. The role of the NRC in-the event of an emergency at your facility will- be to monitor your response efforts' in- protecting public health and safety, and to ' provide information and' -

-assistance to you as needed.. Although our role is one of support, we must stay informed and bt ready to provide assistance or whatever else may be required. ]

Following notificsian.of an incident, it would require several hours:before we ,

could actually respond from our Regional Office and' be at your facility to j offer support that may be needed. As you are aware, at our nuclear power Ilant j licensee facilities, we are fortunate to have one or :more resident inspectors - 1 who can respond much i,x quickly, usually within a matter of minutes. .j i We recognize, of. course, that- the potential consequences of an accident at your facility. are obviously significantly less than at a -nuclear power plant, i

~ However,- in order for us to-provide a more timely response to your facility in j case .of an emergercy I have assigned the NRC resident inspectors at the i North Anna nuclear power. plant and- the B&W-NNFD- fuel facility, Mark Lesser',

and ilohn. Kahle, respectively, as the early: responders to any emergency or ,

event involving your NRC license. In this role, ' they must become familiar J in,a general sense, with your facility and operations. To expedite this and to a

, minimize thefimpact upon your time, I plan to have these gentlemen accompany "

, Craig Bassett, our Research Reactors Projects Engineer, on a fami.larization  :

tour of your facility during one of.our future inspections. This will allow l you: to become acquainted with them and allow them the opportunity to become *

' familiar with your operations, organization, staff, and methods for facility access.
