r Re: Notification of Change in Facility Management as Required by the Breazeale Nuclear L ReactorTechnical Specifications ;
l License No. R-2, Docket No. 50-5
Dear Siror Madame:
l l Effective October 17,1996, Dr. Warren F. Witzig, retired Head of the Nuclear Engineering ;
Department at The Pennsylvania State University, has been appointed inteim Director of the ,
Bmazeale Nuclear Reactor. A resume of Dr. Witzig's nuclear experience it attached. It is expected that he will serve as interim director for approximately six months while a search for a permanent dimetor is conducted. Dr. Witzig replaces Dr. Marcus H. Voth who contint es as associate
_ professor of Nuclear Engineering at Penn State. l This letter fulfills the Technical Specifications requirement (section 6.6.2.b.) that a written mpon l shall be made within 30 days to the USNRC for a permanent change in the facility organization !
involving level 1-2 personnel as defined in the Technical Specifications.
Sincerely, David A. Shirley' Senior Vice President for Research
