, Docket No. 50-142 i

^ (Proposed Renewal of Facility License)

Gentlemen:

i In a telephone discussion between Mr. Gray and Mr. Hirsch on September 11, 1985, Mr. Hirsch suggested that in order to facilitate agreement among the

\ parties regarding a stipulation and termination of the pending proceeding, i the Staff propose license conditions for the UCLA research reactor which i

.would prohibit operation ever again and require dismantlement by a date certain. In accord witn this suggestion I have developed the following proposed language for addition to NRC License R-71 for the UCLA reactor, for your censideration. I have also enclosed a copy of License R-71 with this language added and with those sections deleted as recently requested by UCLA. .*

i

- i l

To be added at the-end of paragrapr. 28.(I) on page 2 of the license, I . .

propose the following:

the Argcr.aut reactor whose possession fs, authorized by this license shall not be permitted to operate at'any time henceforth.  :

l On page three of the license, I proposed the following modification to  !

paragraph D:

D. This amended licynse is effective >as:of the date of issuance and shall expire at midnight,'Septenber 30, 1989 at which j time dismantlement and disposal o (the reactor and its component parts must be comNeted, 'except for the biological shield and corponents salvageabletfor other use.
