Reference:
Docket 70-398 Inspection 70-398/85-01
Dear Sir:
In response to the report of Inspec tion No. 70-398/85-01, we submit the following information:
We were aware that our License No. 08-00566-05 did not authorize possession of the spent fuel pellets.
Since receipt of the material in 1980, the material has been listed in our special nuclear materials (SNM) i nventories and accounted for as SNM.
The byproduct materials license reference on the internal document was an oversight that we felt could be dealt with by a pen-and-ink change to reference our license No. SNM-362.
We based our assumption on the single reference we found in 10CFR Part 70 concerning spent fuel, i.e.,
10 C FR7 0.1 ( c ), which cites Part 72 as regulating spent fuel in independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSI);
on 10CFR Part 72, i.e.,
10 CF R7 2.2( a ) and 10 CF R7 2.3( m), which define ISFSI's so as to exclude our facility; and on the provisions of our License SNM-362 which provides for SNM in any form and in sealed form, either authorization providing sufficient quantity allowances.
Nonetheless, following the inspec to r's instructions and in coor-dination with the reviewer of our license renewal / consolidation request, we have submitted a request for authorization' to store the material by way of a specific line entry notation.
We antic-ipate that, on receipt of this permission, arrangements will be made to dispose of the spent fuel pellets.
We hope this provides adequate info rmation for your purposes.
Should you have further questions, please contact T.
Hobbs or L.
Slaback at 301-921-2247.
Sincerely, W
L. E. Pev Chief, Occupational Health and Safety Division
