Dear Sir:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory o 11ssion (NRC) is contracting with Battelle Columbus Laboratories (BCL) to conduct a series of experiments on the sabotage of shipments of spent nuclear fuel. ]n previous NRC-sponsored reactor spent fuel shipping cask sabotage studies, BCL used the Viper precision shaped charge. In order for the results of the new experiments to be compared to the previous experimental results, the NRC would like to use the same explosives.
We anticipate needing 36 Viper Billet Liner Assemblies and 36 Precision Initiating Couplers for use in these experi.nents. The attached statement of work provides shipping information. Please advise us of the estimated cost of these items (delivered) as soon as possible. When we receive the cost estimate, we will proceed with the necessary paperwork to complete the transaction. If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact Andrea K. Barnold, FTS 202-443-7676.
Sincerely, Originai signed b Karl R. cou.c , g Karl R. Goller, Director Division of Fa::llity Operations Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research
