October 10, 1978 Mr. Robert W. Reid, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #4 Division of Operating Reactors Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555 RE: Renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-56
Dear Sir:
We are in the process of compiling all necessary and required infor-mation associated with the license renewal of the UFTR. ' A significant part of a new Safety Analysis Report and Technical ~ Specifications has be'en done.
Presently, a parallel effort is being made, with Department of Energy support (ContractNo.EY-76-S-05-4014), to change the UFTR fuel to.4.8%
~
enriched in U235, U02 Pellets in stainless steel cladding. This change will directly affect portions of the SAR. We respectfully request that only one license renewal with tha new fuel be submitted and considered for re-licensing, rather than two. consecutive and different applications.
Portions of the required additional information not affected by the change of fuel will be submitted earlier for review.
We expect that our studies on the new core performance and.the safety evaluation be finished by the end of March,1979 with final submission to the NRC by June, 1979.
The UFTR is an operati.ng reactor, with almost 20 years of safe operating record. The studies and changes will further improve the operational capa-bilities and safety of the reactor.
