20555 Re: USGS TRIGA Reactor Facility Docket No. 50-274, License R-113 Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to your request for additional information dated November 12,
'991.
Our amendment request dated October 16, 1991 requested that the current requirement of administrative reviews of the emergency plan and physical security plan be moved to the Technical Specifications.
We were not aware that we would be required to change the word " review" to " audit".
We did--not state, nor intend to imply, that the proposed wording of the request was identical to the ANS standard.
In accordance with your request, we have changed the wording of the proposed amendment.
The attached page contains the new wording (see stop l
5).
