Dear Ms. Hardia:

Siemens Power Corporation (SPC) will, in the near future, begin shipping UO powder and/or 2

pellets in shipping containers that require a neutron absorbing sleeve inside of each inner powder and pellet container. The inner containers will contain powder and pellets in quantities and with moderator contents allowed by the shipping container certificate and will be stored for a short time prior to their being loaded into the shipping container. In order to describe the use of mechanical neutron absorbers in the approximately three and one-half gallon inner containers outside of shipping containers, Table 1-4.1 of SPC's license application must be revised. SPC, therefore, requests that its license be amended to include a revised Table I-4.1 for this purpose.

Enclosed in support of this request are six copies of revised Page 4-21 of SPC's ll cense application.

If you have questions regarding the information presented, please call me at (509) 375-8663.

Very truly yours, Jam Edgar Staff, Engineer, Licensing j
