Commission As discussed in reference (a), the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS) database lists five (5) sites for which the Nuclear R'egulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible as having small inventories of U-233. The enclosed table lists the sites.

The DOE Recommendation 97-1 Implementation Plan (IP) designates Oak Ridge as the DOE's permanent' longerm U-233 repository. An objective of the plan is have all U-233 that does not

, 1 have a defined cu. rent or future use where it is currently located be assessed, prepared for )

shipment, and shipped to Oak Ridge for processing and storage.  !

k Preparations for shipping the U-233 held at the NRC sites to Oak Ridge requires an assessment of I I

each site's inventory. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has been assigned a 97-1 IP milestone to compile the individual site assessments into an integrated report that will I

be a key element in planning the execution of following Implementation Plan requirements. To complete its report LLNL regires some basic information about the inventory at each site.

Please provide the following for each NRC site directly to LLNL with copy to DOE /EM-66 as soon as possible and no later than May 1,1998:

- Quantity of U-233 held by item and weight.

- Current and/or plamni future use, if applicable.

- Special handling requirements.
