REVIEW OF THE EMERGENCY PLAN FOR THE NUCLEAR REACTOR LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS (TAC NO. 99272)
In response to your request, the Emergency Preparedness and Environmental Health Physics Section (EP&EHP) has completed a review of the changes to the Emergency Plan for the Nuclear Reactor Laboratory at the University of Illinois. The plcn changes in Revision 1 were submitted in a letter dated June 30,1997 from Richard L Holm, Reactor Administrator.
