Dear Mr. Taylor:
I wish to inform you of the actions taken by TRTR in cmdunction with the University of Michigan regarding e "ecent occurrence at the University's research reactor.

As a result, I have nppointed a ranol of nationally recognized experts to make an independent and thorough review. The panel w:ll examine all aspeew of the occurrence, determine the root cause, detect any weakness in managernent control and make specific recommendations both to prevent reoccurence and to strengthen the overall ope ation of the facCity. The panelis composed of:
Dr. John Bernard, MIT (Chairman)
Dr. INvid Rorer, Brookhaven National Laboratory Mr. Wade Richards, Chairman AMS-15, Director of the McClollan Reactor D
