MEMORANDUM FOR:

Robert A. Clark, Chief Reactor Safeguards Licensing Branch Division of Operating Reactors
SUBJECT:
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS A'GELES AE'.DED SECURITY PLAN The University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA) subnitted Anendrent No.3 (Marcn 10, 1978) to their security plan covering tneir 100 kw Argonaut nucieer reactor. Our evaluatien, which is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790, is available for your review at my office.
We have concluded that the UCLA amended security plan is acceptable provided certain nodifications are made in a timely manner which would effectively disengage the reactor control panel when the control room is not occupied by "A level" personnel.
These nodifications are su r arized in Dr. Catton's letter to Mr. Case dated July 3,1978.
Out. evaluation of these proposed modi-fications addressed safeguardsynifications 'anly.
It is further recommended that UCLA be asised77iarthey must suTmit an amended security plan by Decerber 1,1978 incorporating the modifications proposed in Dr. Catton's letter and ccanitting to full implementation prier to March 31, 1979.

Office of the Executive Legal Director FROM:
James R. Miller, Chief Standardization & Special Projects Branch Division of Licensing
SUBJECT:
573.37 - REQUIREMENTS FOR PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF IRRADIATED REACTOR FUEL IN TRANSIT It is my understanding that if a nonpower reactor were to transport SW. in a quantity exceeding 350 grams, but less than 1 kg., which had a total external radiation dose rate less than 100 rems per hour at a distance of 3 feet, they would have to comply with 173.37.
There is some confussion of this based on discussions I had with Don Carlson, NMSS and Stu Treby, ELD.
Ceuld you please confirm this and give me your interpretation of this case as it pertains to UCLA past fuel shipments and fuel.. ship-ments that may take place in the near future,

SUBJ: Shipping of Unirradiated Fuel from UCLA N
.$/
'O' f*-
Dear Mr. Bernard:
We wish to advise the Comission of our desire to transfer fifteen (15) unirradiated MTR type fuel elements (as plates) from our facility. The plates of five (5) fuel elements are to be shipped to the University of Florida for use in tneir reactor and the plates of ten (10) fuel elements are to be transfered to a Department of Energy prime contractor, such as ORNL, Livemore,....
The distribution of the fif teen (15) elements between the two destinations is somewhat ccnditioned h the choice of shipping containers. The 5:10 distribution represents current intent but is not yet firmly fixed.
The fuel to be transferred consists of unirradiated aluminum clad standard MTR-type 934 enriched fuel plates. The fuel, currently the property of DOE, was provided to UCLA by the DOE for future loading of the UCLA Argonaut Research Reactor.
This unirradiated tandard fuel has been stored in a special vault since its arrival in 1971.
Based upon projections for fuel utilization, it is unlikely we will require these fuel elements in the forseeable future.
We therefore request its removal by
)
DOE from the UCLA licensed facility, l
l UCLA will be responsible for supplying those various services and safeguarcs that are required for transferring the fuel plates to the DOE-provided shipping containers in accordance with the requirements of the UCLA Technical Specifications. DOE will have the responsibility for all other aspects of removal of the fuel from the UCLA building and its transportation to the receiver of the fuel including provision of the
/
shipping containers. Management and coordination of the fuel transfer from UCLA is being handled by Mr. Neill Dstrander (213/825-2825).
The individual within the San Francisco Operations office of the DOE who has been infomed of the fuel transfer is Mr. David McIntosh (FTS 536-4152).
We hope the preceding description of our projected fuel shipment will provide a timely and satisfactory level of infomation regarding an event we are most anxious to complete within the shortest time possible.
We appreciate you review and consideration of the project and will look forward to ~
a timely transfer of the fuel plates to their respective locations. Please let me know if you need additional infomation.
Sincerely, cc: D.G.McIntosh, DOE, San Francisco
