April 1, 2021 LES-21-00020-NRC Attn: Document Control Desk Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Louisiana Energy Services, LLC NRC Docket No. 70-3103

Subject:

Notice of Intent for UUSA plan to submit License Amendment Requests for changes to License Condition 6B and Enrichment Limit Louisiana Energy Services, LLC (LES), dba URENCO USA (UUSA) is providing notice of our intent to amend our license in accordance with 10 CFR 70.34. This amendment request will propose an increase of the enrichment limit in Materials License SNM-2010 Condition 6B from 5.5 wt. % 235U up to 10.0 wt. % 235U, allowing UUSA to produce enriched UF6 to support industry interest in using fuel with marginally higher enrichment. UUSA has begun analyzing the necessary changes and modifications needed to our facility and would like to discuss our approach in a pre-application meeting before we progress with our evaluations and modifications.

Members of my staff will be discussing the scheduling of the desired meeting with your assigned project manager. If you have any questions regarding this letter, you may contact Wyatt Padgett, Licensing and Performance Assessment Manager, at 575-394-5257.
