i Docket No. 50-294 Dr. R. E. Wilkinson Assistant Vice President for Business and Finance Administration Building Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 48824

SUBJECT:

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY TRIGA NUCLEAR REACTOR EMERGENCY PLAN REVIEW The staff has completed its initial review of the proposed changes to the Michigan State University research reactor emergency plan submitted on October 17, 1985. The plan was reviewed against the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, the guidance criteria set forth in Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 2.6 and ANSI /ANS-15.16-1982, " Emergency Planning for Research Reactors." Non-power reactor licensees were requested by generic letter dated June 16, 1982 to use these documents to meet the requirements of the amended emergency planning regulations.

Our review indicates that the proposed changes in the plan still do not meet the requirements for annual onsite emergency drills because the actual drill practices are not described. However, in a telephone conversation between our staff and Mr. Mark Mitchell of Michigan State University on October 11, 1985 it was determined that the emergency plan drills conducted at the Michigan State University research reactor meet the requirements of the regulations and satisfy the guidelines. Mr. Mitchell was infomed that the emergency plan should be revised to include a full description of the emergency drills.

Accordingly, we request that you revise the plan to include the additional information within 60 days of the date of this letter. Following receipt of your revisions, the staff will continue its review.

If you have any questions, for your facility, at (301)please contact John Dosa, our Project Maneger 492-9798.
