  • . .o, TATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission NUCLEAR SCIENCE CENTER South Ferry Road Narragansett, R.I. 02882-1197 November 9, 1987 Mr. Theordore Michaels, Project Manager Standardization and Non-Power Reactor Project Directorate Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 1

Dear Mr. Michaels; 1

Please refer to your transmittal of October 27, 1987 concerning amendment 15 to our facility operating license R-

95. In particular, please refer to the second sentence in the second paragraph of the cover letter.

The Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center is described in the approved emergency plan as the operations boundary which consists of the reactor building and tha basement area directly under and north of the reactor building. This EPZ was selected based on the recommendations of:

1. Regulatory Guide 2.6 " Emergency Planning for Research Reactors"
2. ANSI /ANS 15.16 " Standard for Emergency Planning for Research Reactors"
3. NUREG 0849 " Standard Review Plan for the Review and Evaluation of Emergency Plans for Research and Test Reactors".

Since the EPZ is primarily based on the power level of the reactor, it is not our intention to modify the EPZ in the Emergency Plan during the construction and after the completion of the Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Studies building. However, provisions will be made during the construction phase of the building to notify the construction workers if there is a need to remove them from the construction site. This will be accomplished with notification from the reactor operations staff. l l
