Docket No. 50-604 MAR 2 31988 All Chemical Isotope Enrichment, Inc.

ATTN: Mr. Dennis Bell Chief Executive Officer Pine Ridge Office Park, Suite 202 8 702 Illinois Avenue Oak Ridge, TN 37830 Gentlemen:

In your letter of February 22, 1988, you requested "under 10 CFR 50.12(a)(1) and (2) that an exemption be granted" in recognition of certain conditions enumerated in your letter.

10 CFR 950.10(c) provides that "no person shall effect comencement of construction of a production or utilization facility subject to the prevision of 651.20(b) of

[ Title 10] on a site on which the facility is to be operated until a construction permit has been issued." While your letter cites a number of reasons you believe warrant an exemption from the requirement for a construction permit before you commence certain construction activities, there is additional information necessary for :s to consider your request.

First, it is important to identify specifically the various construction activities you intend to carry out initially. It is not clear from your letter that all of the activities is definedare in 10 encompassed CFR 50.10 (cby)the term "comencement (1) through (3). In this connection, of construction" you should as that term specifically address whether 10 CFR 50.10 (c) is applicable to your activities.

Your letter indicates that the site of the temporary storage facilities is in a general industrial park being developed by the Town of Oliver Springs. It would be helpful to have a letter from the Town to this effect indicating that the site is being developed independent of AlChemIE's proposal to construct and operate the permanent facility.

Further, your letter indicates that the site activities are redressable. You should provide further information about how the early site activities under consideration could be redressed if the temporary facility were constructed, but construction of the permanent facility was not authorized.

If you have any question regarding this matter, please call me at (301) 492-0697.

Sincerely, Original Signed By:
