Subject:
Annual Statement of Non-availability of Federal Government Funding for Conversion from HEU to LEU for the VNC Nuclear Test Reactor (NTR)
References:
- 1) NRC License No. R-33, Docket 50-073 (NTR)
- 2) NRC R-33 Possession Only License issued 2/28/24 (ML24031A622)
- 3) 10 CFR 50.64 Limitations on the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU)
In domestic non-power reactors
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC., (GEH) no longer operates the Nuclear Test Reactor (NTR) at the Vallecitos Nuclear Center (VNC) in Sunol, California. Under the provisions of NRC License No. R-33, the reactor is in possession only status (Reference 2), and the highly enriched U-AI alloy fuel core is awaiting pickup by the DOE. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.64 (Reference 3) GEH is submitting this letter to demonstrate NTR is no longer authorized to use HEU fuel, so notifying NRC regarding conversion is no longer necessary.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
