Re: 50-262/87-01

Dear Mr. Fisher:

This letter is written in response to your letter to us of May 8,

1987 which asked for further information in regards to our

alleged Violation A in your letter to us of March 12, 1987.

(1)

We admit that we did not follow the Technical

Specifications

Section

II,

" Operational

Limitations

and

Restrictions."

Specifically Section

II.C.

2,

5,

6, and 7.

However, we do not admit that this was a violation because our

reactor operator license Condition 2 specifically forbid us from

operating the reactor (see enclosed copy).

(2) The corrective steps that have been taken are as

follows:

a) we have unloaded the fuel and shipped it off site;

b) we have requested an amendment to our Reactor License R-109

requesting " Possession

Only" status.

The above Technical

Specifications will be deleted from our reactor license when the

amendment is granted.

(3) Same as (2).

(4)

The date when full compliance is achieved will be when

the amendment is approved.

I hope that this information is satisfactory.

Sincerely,

,
