Idaho State University March 19, 2021 ATTN: Documents Control Desk Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 RE: Idaho State University-Special Nuclear Materials License Number 1373, Amendment Request to Update University Officers Roster Docket Number (70-1374)
Dear Mr. Siurano-Perez:
I am writing to request an update to the university offo:;ers roster for SNM License Number 1373.
These updates reflect the changes in Amendment 6, as approved in your letter dated January 28, 2021. The updates include naming Mr. Kermit Bunde as Chairperson of the Reactor Safety Committee and the removal of the Provost and Dean of the College of Science and Engineering from the list as they are not in the management chain for the special nuclear material and reactor licenses specified in the ISU Radiation Safety Manual. Furthermore, the Provost and Dean of Science and Engineering are not included in the Minimum Qualifications of University Personnel (Attachment IV to the SNM-1373 License).
As outlined in Amendment 6 of our license, the minimum qualifications for the Chairperson of Reactor Safely Committee are as follows:
- BS or higher in an engineering field or physical science field
- At least 5 years of experience related to nuclear reactor operations (need not have power reactor experience)
~ A professional engineering license is desirable but not essential As indicated in the attached curriculum vitae, Mr. Kermit Bunde exceeds these minimum qualifications:
- He holds an MS in Nuclear Engineering, in addition to a BS in Engineering, from Idaho State University
- He has 15 years of experience in his current position as Nuclear Safety and Nuclear Critically Safety Subject Matter Expert with the U.S. Department of Energy, in addition to previous positions 11 He is a Licensed Professional Nuclear Engineer.
These requested changes are reflected in the attached "Roster of University Officials and Nuclear f1 b !) (,o Personnel Responsible for Materials License SNM-1373, Docket No. 70-1374."
