ATTN: Mr. Tom Collopy. Manager Nuclear Material Control 67 Sandy Desert Road Uncasville, Connecticut 06382-0981 i

Dear Mr. Collopy:

This is in response to your April 25, 1988 request for an exemption from the requirement of 10 CFR 73.58(g)(3) to take appropriate investigative and corree-tive action to reconcile shipper / receiver differences that are statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level except those shipments which involve differences of 50 grams or less of U-235. In place of this requirement you propose early implementation of 10 CFR 74.59(h)(1)(iii) which requires investigative and corrective action to reconcile shipper / receiver differences involving finished fuel shipments that are statistically significant at the 95 -

percent confidence level and the shipper / receiver difference exceeds the larger of 0.5 percent of the amount of Strategic Special Nuclear Material (SSNM) in the container, lot, batch, or shipment, as appropriate, or 50 grams of SSNM.

We have reviewed your request and have detennined that granting it will not adversely affect the common defense and security nor the public health and ,

safety and is otherwise in the public interest. Accordingly, we are adding a new License Condition 8.1 to Amendment SG-1 to your License No. SNM-368, effective insnediately, to read as follows:

8.1 Notwithstanding the requirement of 10 CFR 70.58(g)(3) to take appro- '

priate investigative and corrective action to reconcile shipper / receiver differences that ar2 statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level except those shipments which involve differences of 50 grams or less of U-235, the licensee may take investigative and corrective action when shipper / receiver differences exceed twice the '

estimated standard deviation of the difference estimator and the larger of 0.5 percent of the amount of SShM in the container, lot,

, batch, or shipment, as appropriate, or 50 grams of SSNM.

We have determined that your letter dated April 25, 1988 contains information of the type specified in 10 CFR 2.790(d). Accordingly, pursuant to Section J

l 8905240009 080516 PDR ADOCK 070 y 1 c

I MAY 101988 ,

UNC NVL PRO 2-2.790(d)(1), such information is deemed to be comercial or financial within the meaning of 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) and shall be withheld from public disclosure unless subject to the provisions of 10 CFR 9.12.

Sincerely.
