U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission l h'ashington, D. C. 20545 I l l

Dear Mr. Eisenhut:

RE: Docket 50-406 Enclosed are three signed and notarized originals of a joint request to the R:cicar Regulatory Commission (NRC) for authorization to both dismantic and dispose of our AGN-201 reactor components and also for termination of our operating license R-122. President Payton has signed these requests as the duly authorized officer (President) of Tuskegee Institute. {

You correctly note in your 1ctter of January 28, 1983, that the reactor never operated here at Tuskegee Institute and its fuel ins never loaded. As you further note, the fuel was shipped back to its owner, the U.S. Department of Energy, last year. The fission plate which was to be I used when the reactor became operational has recained here at the Institute for possible use in the nuclearIrogram. It consists of 20% enriched uranite with a total of 28 grams of U-235. This fission plate is now carried under our Alabama License S21-228, A?.endment No. 6 (see copy enclosed) as per our request of February ll, 1983. Contract No. DE-AC05-76ER04244 (Modification No. M004) between Tuskegee Institute and the U.S. Department of Energy covers the use of this plate. <

A complete report of the results of measurements of surface contamination I of residual radioactivity on the AGN-201 is included for your perusal. The l information provided covers the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.86 as well as nonnal radiation safety exposure requirements as perfonned with a suney meter. All the results for all the components are considered no greater than background since they fall within statistical accuracy limitations of that measurement.

Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut Page 2' August 9, 1983 Since the measured radiation icvels for each of the reactor components indicates negligibic surface contamination, we request authorization to

. dispose of these components as we see fit. We however, have no plans to l use this as a reactor again nor do we plan to ship it to any other site for use as a reactor. We trust this covers the intent of 10CFR 50.82.

l If you have any questions concerning our requests, please feel free to contact me (205) 727-8355 or Phil loretan (205) 727-8458 in our Radiation Safety Office.

Sincerely yours, tw -
