l The Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has reviewed the application in accordance with the provisions of the Commission's rules and regulations and has found that the dismantling and disposal of component parts in accordance with the licensee's dismantling plan will be in accordance with the regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, and will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. The basis of these findings is set forth in the concurrently issued Safety Evaluation by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

The Comission has prepared an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the proposed action. Based on that Assessment, the Comission has determined that the proposed action will not result in any significant environmental impact and that an environmental impact state-ment need not be prepared.

Accordingly, the licensee is hereby ordered to dismantle the TRIGA reactor facility covered by License No. R-101, as amended, and dispose of the component parts in accordance with its dismantling plan and the Commission's rules and regulations.

After completion of the dismantling and disposal, the licensee will submit a report on the radiation survey it has performed to confirm that radiation and surface contamination levels in the facility area satisfy the values specified in the dismantling plan and in the Commission's guidance. Following an inspection by representatives of the Comission to verify the radiation and contamination levels in the facility, consideration will be given to issuance of a further order terminating Facility License No. R-101. l 1
