Letter from J. T. Ford to R. G. Page dated 1/28/83 (3)
Letter from J. T. Ford to R. G. Page dated 2/22/83 Gentlemen As you are aware, the Babcock & Wilcox Company, Commercial Nuclear Fuel Plant will shut down fuel fabrication activities this summer from June 15 through August 31 inclusive.
During the shutdown period, we plan to do no fabrication work or movement of SNM, except that fuel assemblies may be shipped to customer sites or received at the CNFP.
The fuel assembly shipments and receipts will be handled in accord with our license.
In addition, we will continue to perform maintenance on our EClio-330 system during the shutdown period.
There will be non-SNM work continuing in plant during the shutdown period, and as such there will be a crew of authorized B&W employees present (including management and necessary llealth-Safety personnel) during normal working hours.
Since the plant status with regard to SNM will be that of a storage facility, we request approval of the license exemptions and modifications listed in Attachment I to this letter, for the shutdown period.
We have kept the ECI!O-330 controls and requirements intact (Section V, Pages 67-75) due to its operational status during the shutdown period.
In the unforeseen event that it should become necessary to initiate activities including SNM (other than fuel assembly shipments or receipts), we will send a written notification of renewed licensed activity to the NRC Uranium Fuel Licensing Branch and to NRC Region II prior to, or within one working day of the start of the activity.
The notification shall include the start date of the activity, anticipated duration of the activity, and the type of activity.
A cleanup and survey will be performed and recorded after each such activity, with records maintained for subsequent NRC inspection.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 March 6, 1987 If such activity during the shutdown period should become necessary, all quarterly license commitments, which would normally fall in the shutdown period, all monthly license commitments for that or each month, all weekly license commitments for that or each" week, and all daily commitments for that or each day during which the activity takes place shall be performed.
s These changes are virtually the same as that requested for the June 18, 1983 to October 16, 1983 shutdown (see References 2 and 3 noted above) including the clarification of intent paragraphs included with the 2/22/83 letter (Reference 3).
If questicns arise during your review, please feel free to call me at (804) 522-6202.
A check for $150.00 is included with this letter to cover the administrative licensing fee.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
