In the~ matter of RHODE ISLAND ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION
'(Research Reactor)
ORDER'TO SHOW CAUSE I.
The Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission ("the licensee") is the holder of Facility Doerating License No. R-95 issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion ("the Commission"). The license authorizes the operation of a research reactor at Narragansett, Rhode Island.
II.
2 have on hand unirradi-Recognizing that many nonpower reactor facilities ated high e.nriched uranium (HEU) fuel that is not needed for current operations, the Commission believes that prudence dictates the taking of reasonable steps to decrease the potential for any adverse consequences from possession of HEU in excess of operational needs by suspending the right to possess HEU invento-ries in excess of quantities sufficient for the maintenance of normal operations or for the replacement of depleted fuel and failed elements.
Therefore, the Commission has foundLit desirable to protect the public health and safety and conson defense and security by requiring all excess HEU fuel to be removed to a secure facility away from the reactor site.
' Includes research, test and critical experiment facilities.
