SUBJECT:

THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA-TERMINATION OF THE U.S.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF REVIEW OF THE HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM TO LOW-ENRICHED URANIUM CONVERSION PRELIMINARY SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI RESEARCH REACTOR (EPID L-2017-LLA-0264)

Dear Dr. Robertson:

By letter dated August 18, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML17312A370), the University of Missouri-Columbia staff requested that the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review and comment on the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR) for the conversion of the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) from highly enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The NRC staff has determined that due to the preliminary status of the LEU fuel development work, it is not prudent to review the MURR LEU Conversion PSAR at this time. The NRC staff will perform its review following the submittal of an application requesting a licensing action in support of LEU fuel conversion at MURR.

If you have any questions regarding the NRC staffs decision, please contact me at (301) 415-0893 or by electronic mail at Geoffrey.Wertz@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
