Letter, l. C. Rickard (CE) to M. F. Weber (NRC),
" Amendment Request To Downgrade SNM License,"
dated April 16,1997.
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. This letter is in response to discussions between CE and the NRC staff about Reference (A). As a result of the discussions, CE would make changes on two pages of the Reference (A) submittal in order to clarify the definition of the specified storage areas for LLRW.
Enclosure (1) provides a description of the revisions to the submittal In Reference (A). Enclosure (2) provides a list of the pages of the Reference (A) submittal that would be replaced. Enclosure (3) provides a listing of the resulting effective pages of the pending Application. Enclosure (4) provides the two pages containing the changes. Six (6) copies are enclosed for your use.

WINDSOR SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL LICENSE RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS ON THE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO DOWNGRADE LICENSE NO. SNM 1067 EXPLANATION OF CHANGES This amendment request would revise the definition of Specified Storage Areas for LLRW on the Windsor site that was given by the footnote to Section 1.5 in the submittal dated 4/16/
The revised definition would incomorate the wording for Interim storage requirements that is in Section 4.1.1 of the currently approved application, datnd 10/31/96. The revised definition would still include the paved area in the wooded section of the Windsor site where repackaging of LLRW may be performed. The definition would also still inc!ude the areas in the DOE FUSRAP-designated Building 3 and its environs where material collected by CE from the Windsor site is held in interim storage.
The material held in interim storage would satisfy the requirement given in Section 4.1.1. Instead of refering to the definition for storage areas given in the footnote to Section 1.5, the description of the requirements for interim storage in Section 4.1.1 would be changed back to the description given in that section of the approved application, dated 10/31/96.
