Subject:

Revised Fundamental Nuclear Material Controls

Dear Mr. Martin:

The Rockwell International Special Nuclear Material License No. SNM-21 was renewed on June 28, 1984. Both the possession limits of special nuclear material and the scope of activities authorized under the license were reduced substantially in the renewed license. Discus-sions with the staff of the Division of Safeguards at NRC Headquarters subsequent to renewal of the license have indicated the desirability of updating our fundamental nuclear material control document to make it more consistent with the renewed license.

Consequently we have prepared Document RI/RD86-190, " Fundamental Mate-rial Controls for Special Nuclear Materials," which describes our nuclear material control program for those activities presently author-ized under the renewed license. As indicated in the foreword to the document, it supersedes the following documents previously approved for activities authorized under the earlier versions of License SNM-21:

1. AI-75-15, " Fundamental Material Controls for Special Nuclear Material"

2. AI-74-12, "Special Nuclear Material Control Program for

! Material Possessed and Used by Atomics International Divi-sion of Rockwell International Under Special Nuclear Mate-rial License SNM-21" i

86RC06559 May 12, 1986 Page 2 Rockwell International

3. AI-74-44, "Special Nuclear Material Control Program for Plutonium Used by Atomics International Division of Rockwell International in Research and Development Activities Under Special Nuclear Material License SNM-21."

However, I should note that Document AI-74-44, Supplement 6, "Special Nuclear Material Control Program for Fermi Fuel Decladding," is an approved program that is currently being implemented under the renewed license.

Since this new description of the program makes no changes which decrease the effectiveness of the material control and accounting pro-gram prepared pursuant to the appropriate sections of 10 CFR 70 and 10 CFR 74, it is being submitted for your information in accord with Section 70.32(c) of 10 CFR 70. Five copies of the document are enclosed for your information.

I should point out that the document enclosed is of a type specified in Section 2.790(d) of 10 CFR 2. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.790(d)(1), this information is deemed to be commercial or financial information within the meaning of 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) and shall be sub-ject to disclosure only in accordance with provisions of 10 CFR 9.12.

Sincerel r, M. E. Rem ey, tre r Nuclear Safety & Li sing Rocketdyne Division 2033A/sjh
