Subject:
RIN 3150-AE83: Restoration of the Generic Exemption from Annual Fees for Nonprofit Educational Institutions
Dear Sir:
This is in support of the restoration of the educational exemption from annual fees. It is written in behalf of the TRIGA Mark-II Nuclear Reactor Facility at Kansas State University, License R-88, Docket 50-188. The Facility is operated by the Nuclear Engineering Depanment at the University.
Kansas State University is among the universities that operate nuclear reactors. We have done so since 1962. 'Ihere are four missions being met by our reactor facility:
1.
education of nuclear engineers and health physicists, 2.
suppon of research and extension across the entire spectrum of activities of land-grant institutions, 3.
support of research and education at other U.S. institutions through the Department of Energy Reactor Sharing Program, and 4.
public education through reactor tours and demonstrations, We share these missions with many other educational institutions and, we submit, contribute significantly to the general good of the public.
As requested in the Federal Register of 29 September 1993, we are submitting information about the Reactor Facility. Data on the next page are typical for state fiscal years 1987-1993.
t Very sincerely yours, W
Richard E. Faw, Director KSU Nuclear Reactor Facility 9311040061 931026 PDR PR 171 58FR50859 PDR l
