SUBJECT:
EVALUATION OF THE DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND INSTALLATION OF A LINER IN THE SPENT FUEL CANAL (POOL) 0F THE HIGH FLUX BEAM REACTOR AT THE BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY
Dear Dr. Lash:
I am responding to the letter you sent me on March 11, 1997, seeking Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) technical assistance on the requested evaluation.
The NRC staff met with the Department of Energy (DOE) and Brookhaven l
Associated Universities staff on March 19, 1997, to discuss this potential NRC effort. During the meeting, DOE staff presented a revised Scope of Work and a project schedule; both are enclosed.
The project schedule identifies three activities in which NRC involvement is specifically sought, and corresponds to Items 2, 3, and 5 of the revised Scope of Work.
Items 1, 4, and 6 of the Scope of Work will be conducted as needed to support the requested reviews.
With respect to Item 2, DOE and NRC agreed that upon receiving DOE's conceptual design report on April 7,1997, NRC will be prepared to discuss the report in a meeting to be held at NRC on April 14, 1997. We will proviae our comments orally by April 21, 1997, which will be followed up with written comments by April 28, 1997. We will review and comment on Items 3 and 5 in accordance with the schedules shown in the Scope of Work.
We estimate that the review effort will cost $150,000.
Please provide a
" Funds Out Interagency Agreement" for os to proceed with this review.
The NRC contact for this work is Mr. Theodore Michaels.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (301) 415-1700 or Theodore Michaels at (301) 415-1102.

LUATION OF THE DESIGN, FABRICATION,'AND INSTALLATION OF A LINER IN E SPENT FUEL CANAL (POOL) 0F THE HIGH FLUX BEAM REACTOR AT THE BROO VEN NATIONAL LABORATORY
Dear Dr. Lash:
I am responding to e letter you sent me on March 11, 1997, seeking Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC) technical assistance on the requested evaluation.
The NRC staff met with e Department of Energy (DOE) and Brookhaven Associated Universities taff on March 19, 1997, to discuss this potential NRC s
effort. During the meeting DOE staff 3 resented a revised Scope of Work and a project schedule; both are e losed. Tie project schedule identifies three activities in which NRC invol ment is specifically sought, and corresponds to items 2, 3, and 5 of the revise Scope of Work. Assistance on items 4 and 6 of the Scope of Work will be prov ded as needed.
With respect to item 2, DOE and NRC igreed that upon receiving DOE's conceptual design report on April 7, lQ97, NRC will provide comments by April 21, 1997.
Because such a short t ma is allotted for the review, we anticipate that, for the most part, our mments will be delivered orally.
We will cite issues that should be consid ed in the final design report. We will also discuss these comments at a meet g to be held at NRC on April 14, l
1997.
We estimate that the review of this effort wil cost $150,000.
Please provide a " Funds Out Interagency Agreement" for us to pr ceed with this review.
The NRC contact for this work is Mr. Theodore Mich 1s.
If you have any-questions, feel free to contact me at (301) 415-170 or Theodore Michaels at (301) 415-1102.
