N. Ketzlach (NRC) telephone conversations with K.

Asmussen (GA) of June 16 and September 5, 1986

Dear Mr. Crow:

Earlier this year, we reported some changes to our organization which necessitated revision of selected pages of our license (reference a).

Those revisions were made and reported pursuant to Section 3.1 of our license.

In response to comments and suggestions regarding these revisions by Mr.

Ketzlach of your staff during subsequent telephone conversations (reference b), we have made the following revisions to selected pages of our license:

(1) the footnote on page II 3-5 has been revised to delete reference to "the Secretary",

(2) on page II 3-7, paragraph 2, line 4, the spelling of the word "which" has been corrected (from "wiich"),

(3) on page II 3-6, the qualifications given for the manager of Licensing and Nuclear Compliance have been revised to require:

(1) the accredited four-year degree to be in " science, engineering or other related field,"

(ii) the experience to be in nuclear

" industry management," and (iii) "a knowledge of nuclear safety and health physics."

(4) Figure II 3.1-1 has been revised to explicitly show the Fuel Fabrication Division organization.

. An additional recent change involves Industrial Safety. While it is not one of the compliance furictions referred to in our license, Industrial Safety now reports to Licensing and Nuclear Compliance. This change was made to facilitate an increased awareness of our licensed activities by Industrial Safety and as a means to better assure that the industrial safety aspects of our licensed activities are appropriately and adequately reviewed.

This in turn will better assure the safe performance of our activities.

If you have any questions regarding the abovb, please contact me at (619) 455-2823.

Very truly yours, Keith E. Asmussen, Manager Licensing, Safety and Nuclear Compliance KEA/mk Attachments:

3.2.3 Criticality and Radiation Safety Committee (CRSC)

The CRSC reports to the office of the President via a designated vice-president. Committee members who have diverse expertise and qualifications prescribed in Section 3.3.3, are appointed by the -company's Executive Com-mittee. A written policy statement establishes committee and member respon-sibilities. As a minimum, the committee:

(1) acts in a radiological safety advisory capacity; (2) reviews policies and criteria established for safety of SNM operations; (3) provides second level of review for nuclear safety analy-sis; and (4) audits work involving radioactive materials for conformance to and effectiveness of applicable procedures and practices including a review to determine how exposures might be reduced to meet ALARA.

All results of CRSC meetings will be documented.
