Dear Mr. Rowe:

In reference to your letter of January 24. 1990, please be advised that the Department of Energy's (DOE) budget for FY-1990 and FY 1991 does not include any funds to support the conversion of the NIST Reactor (NBSR) to low enriched 2

uranium.

j Our first priority is to complete the conversion of university based nuclear research reactors subject to the NRC rule with funds available to the Department.

Sincerely, C

H c'
