Columbia University in the City of New York New York, N.Y.10027 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING & APPLIED SCIENCE OFice of Die Dean 1
27 March 1985 Director Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commiselon Washington, D. C. 20555 Attention: Document Control Desk
Dear Sir:
Although the TRIGA Mark II reactor at Columbia University was licensed in 1972, a se-les of circumstances has delayed any implementation of that license to bring the reactor into operation.
Because of changes in the financial demands on University operating funds that have taken place during the interval since 1972, it has been decided that it would be impractical for Columbia to operate that reactor within the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, on behalf of Columbia University, it is requested that the license to operate the TRIGA Mark II 250 kw reactor sited ~in the School of Engineering be terminated.. We note for your information that
- The reactor was never operated.
- The reactor was never fueled.
- There was never TRIGA fuel on site.
The control rod drives have been physically removed from the reactor, leaving the control rods fully inserted in the fuel support structure. In addition, the control wiring, between the reactor and its control room, has been removed. These actions, taken together with the non-availability of fuel, assure the non-operability of the reactor.
Sincerely, 8504090201 850327 PDR ADOCK 05000208 A
