Subject:
Amendment of License R-129 Docket 50-602
Dear Sir:
As per 10CFR 50.90 please amend the R-129 license to change the word " plutonium" to
" polonium" in section 2.B (3) line 3. The reference to a .. 6-curie plutonium-beryllium...
source is an editing error occurring during transcription of ...a 6-curie polonium-beryllium source... from an earlier license wording. The University of Texas does not currently possess any polonium-beryllium sources at this time, therefore the wording error did not create any violation on the part of the licensee. All plutonium-beryllium sources held by the licensee are listed for possesion and use on other licenses SNM-180 (3 sources) and TDH-00645 (3 sources).
Your assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
/
