Dear Mr. Weber:
In Reference (A), CE requested a downgrade of License SNM 1067 to reflect the proposed reduction in activities and material possession authorization and the transfer of laboratory activities to the Windsor Site Broad Scope License.
Reference (B) responded to questions from the staff about Reference (A). This letter requests fulther changes which delete the request for authorization to possess SNM in Building 21. CE notified the NRC by Reference (C) that the remediation activities for Building 21 had been completed and requested free release of Building 21 and its immediate environs. By this letter, CE stipulates that no Source Material or Special Nuclear Material has been possessed in or around Building 21 since February 8,1996, and that no Source Material or Special Nuclear Material will be possessed in or around Building 21 prior to its decommissioning by the NRC.
Accordingly, Page 1-2 of Reference (A) and Page 13 of Reference (B) are replaced by the two change pages included here in Enclosur changes delete Item (2) from Page 1-2, regarding the possession amount of U.
[/
235 in Building 21, and delete from Page 1-3, the sentence referring to item 2.

1.4 POSSESSION LIMITS AND LOCATION Combustion Engineering, Inc., requests authorization at its Windsor Site for the following quantities of radioactive materials:
Material E.ctm Quantity Location (1)
Uranium enriched Residue 1000 gms 88'U Specified Storage to greater than or (LLRW)
Areas equal to 5.0 weight percent U 8
O As stated in the letter from L. Bickwit, Jr. (Miller and Chevalier) to R. L. Fonner (NRC), dated March,4,1997, the material in item 1, above, applies only to enriched uranium low level wasus now located on the Windsor site that have been collected by CE and are to be included in the DOE Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (*FUSRAP") for disposal. The 1000 gram possession limit also covers any such FUSRAP U 235 that is further collected by CE for disposal.
CE believes that these wastes originated under contracts performed by CE for the Atomic Energy Commission in the late 1950's and early 1960's and that the wastes are covered or should be covered by the Department of Energy's designation of the Windsor site under FUSRAP. All other uranium residues that originated under the contracts referred to and have not been collected by CE should not be regarded as covered by, or subject to the possession limitations of, the license until such residues are collected by CE.
