THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, Graduate Studies, and Public Service, October 4, 1985 and Dean f the Craduate School 226 Strong IIall, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2300 total eti4-aao t Mr. John C. Hoyle Acting Secretary Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington D.C.
20555
Dear Mr. Hoyle:
The University of Kansas has been working for approximately six months to remove all HEU from its reactor. We have been encumbered by a lack of detailed information available at the NRC and the Department of Energy on how to accomplish this. On September 27th we were able to determine that Mr. Booker Evans of the Chicago Operations Office of the Department of Energy was the contact person. Therefore, on September 30th I wrote a letter to Mr. Evans requesting that all the nuclear fuel at KU be removed from our premises.
Subsequent to sending that letter, we received your order to show cause requesting us to remove at least one of our unirradiated, high-enriched Uranium fuel rods.
I have communicated this matter to Mr. Evans and he is working to facilitate the removal of all our fuel from the campus in time to meet the deadline.
The University of Kansas respectfully requests that in light of our intention to proceed, with all deliberate speed, to remove all the fuel from our reactor that this process not be confused and possibly delayed by the need to deal with only one of the 18 elements.
If this course is unacceptable to the Commission, please inform us as to whom we are to ship our unirradiated fuel elements and the procedures for so doing.
Sincerely, Robert C. Bearse Associate Vice Chancellor 8510200192 85 j4g l
