Enclosure UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION LICENSE AMENDMENT FOR SPECI AL NUCLEAR MATERI AL SAFEGUARDS Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, and Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 70, the following amendment to the special nuclear material license identified below is hereby issued, incorporating requirements for the control, accounting, and physical security of special nuclear material.
Licensee Name: Union Carbide Corporation License No. SNM-639 Address: Sterling Forest Research Center Amendment No. MPP-3 super-P.O. Box 324 seding all previous safeguards Tuxedo, New York 10987 amendments Docket No.70-687 CONDITIONS 1.0 FACILITY ORGANIZATION 1.1 The Manager, Health Physics shall have the responsibility for the overall planning, coordination, and administration of the material control functions for special nuclear material (SNM).
1.2 All delegations of material control and accounting responsibilities shall be in writing by the Manager, Nucleonics.
2.0 FACILITY OPERATION 2.1 The licensee shall follow the fundamental nuclear material control plan dated July 1,1975; as amended June 23, 1978 and revised September 18 and 28,1978; and as revised in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 70.32(c).

2.3 Operations involving special nuclear materials which are not described in the Plan identified in Condition 2.1 shall not be initiated until an appropriate safeguards plan has been approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
2.4 All SNM not in transit shall be physically within an MBA or an ICA.
2.5 The custody of all special nuclear material within each MBA and ICA shall be the responsibility of a single designated individual.
Each MBA shall have a different custodian and no individual shall be the custodian of an MBA and an ICA.
3.0 MEASUREMENTS 3.1 The licensee or his designated agent shall neasure, except as specified in Conditions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2, the uranium and U-235 content, of all special nuclear naterial receipts, shipments, waste discards, and material inventoried.
3.1.1 Measurements are not required on sealed PuBe sources, and those samples intended for analysis and testing which have been determined by other means to contain less than ten grams U-235 each.
3.1.2 Enrichment factors determined from plating solution materials can be applied to U-235 values for sealed targets for purposes of obtaining uranium values.
3.2 All internal transfers of uranium from MBAs shall be based on neasure-ments fcr element and isotope, except as specified in Conditions 3.1.1
. and 3.1.2.
l 4.0 MEASUREMENT CONTROL 4.1 Notwithstanding the requirerents in 10 CFR 70.57(b)(4) to provide sampling systematic errors and to conduct engineering tests on all material types, the licensee shall follow the Plan identified in License Condition 2.1.

Amendment No. MPP-3 Page 3 of 4 Docket No.70-687 License No. SNM-639 4.2 Notwithstanding the requirement in 10 CFR 70.51(e)(4)(i) to calculate the associated limit of error of material unaccounted for (LEMUF),
the calculation of the LEMUF is not required provided the Plant MUF is less than 150 grams of uranium or U-235.
4.3 Notwithstanding the requirement in 10 CFR 70.57(b)(8)(ii) to have a replicate program for the determination of random errors, this replicate program is not required provided the plant MUF is less than 150 grams of uranium or U-235.
5.0 INVENTORY 5.1 The licensee shall follow the material control and accounting plan entitled, "SNM Measurements, Statistical Controls and Inventory,"
dated October 17, 1974, and revised December 5,1974, with the excep-tion of section 4, paragraphs 5.4 and 5.11 including the figures and tables, section 6 except paragraph 6.6, and the appendices, and as

6.0 RECORDS AND REPORTS 6.1 The licensee shall use his or his designated agent's measured values for SNM accounting, except as specified in Condition 3.1.1.
6.2 The licensee shall report on a monthly basis all intentional discards and material unaccounted for. The MUF shall be that which has been determined during the month as a result of completing a material balance around a single operation, a nunber of operations, or the entire plant. This report shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the end of the month in which the discard was made or the material unaccounted for was determined. Reports shall be sent to the NRC Regional Office.
6.3 All accounting records, including measurement source data documents ad internal transfer records, shall be included in the accounting icm )rds retained for five years.
