Hello Dr. Slaughter,
The NRC staff has completed its review of Aerotests possession-only license (POL) license amendment request (LAR) for the Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor (ARRR) submitted by letter dated March 21, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19084A051), as supplemented. Attached to this electronic mail message (email) is a draft of the ARRR POL license conditions (LCs) and technical specifications (TSs) change pages that the NRC staff is prepared to issue with the amendment.
Most LC and TS language is consistent with the proposed LCs and TSs Aerotest submitted by letter dated June 22, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21181A123);
however, the draft LCs and TSs include some changes the NRC staff needed to make in order to find the LCs and TSs acceptable. Because the NRC staff had to make changes to some of your proposed LCs and TSs, the issuance of the POL amendment would be a partial approval, and a partial denial. The NRC staff-initiated changes, and the reasons for the changes, are described in detail in the safety evaluation that will be issued with the POL. A brief summary of the NRC staffs changes, compared to the proposed LCs and TSs Aerotest submitted by letter dated June 22, 2021, is provided below. Because the issuance of the amendment would be a partial approval, and partial denial, Aerotest would have an opportunity to request a hearing on the portion of the LAR that is denied. Additional information will be provided in the cover letter of the POL.
Before we proceed to issue the amendment, we encourage you to take an opportunity to discuss the partial denial, and the NRC staff-initiated changes, via telephone conference including NRC division management. The purpose of the telephone conference would be to explain the partial approval and partial denial, and answer any questions.
Please reply to this email to let us know your availability for a teleconference, and we can set something up. Although we would encourage you to take the opportunity to discuss the partial approval and partial denial of the LAR, if you do not believe a teleconference is necessary, we request that you still confirm this by response to this email, and we will proceed to finalize the amendment without delay. A copy of this email and the attachment will be placed into NRC ADAMS prior to issuance of the POL and referenced in the POL amendment cover letter.
The following list summarizes the NRC staff changes:
LC 2.B.(2) - added SNM produced from previous operation of ARRR and other reactors.
LC 2.B.(3) - added byproduct material produced from previous operation of ARRR and other reactors.
LC 2.C.(2) - added a period.
LC 2.C.(3) - corrected title and date.
LC 2.C.(4) - corrected typographical errors.
LC 2.F - revised for clarity.
TS 2.2 - removed proposed restricted area changes.
TS 2.3 - deleted.
TS 4.2 - replaced ? with correct symbol µ TS 7.2 - removed quotation mark and addeda period.
TS 7.3 - added a period.
TS 7.7 - added a period.
TS 11.3 - changed Handling to Handler.
TS 12.1.4 - added hyphen to college-level.
TS 12.1.5 - capitalized Level, changed need to needed, and changed handing to handling.
Thanks
