1. "Why is it necessary .for these intercompany transfers to take place?"

The proposed indirect license transfer is not an "intercompany" transfer. As described in the Application at page 1, the indirect transfer of control of the Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor ("ARRR") operating license will result from the acquisition of Aerotest by Nuclear Labyrinth. Nuclear Labyrinth will acquire ownership of the stock and business of Aerotest from OEA Aerospace, Inc. ("OEAA"), a California corporation. Nuclear Labyrinth is neither owned nor controlled by OEAA. Nuclear Labyrinth is an independent entity organized in the state of Utah.

As stated in the Application at page 3, this transfer is necessary because the NRC has requested that OEAA divest its interest in the ARRR due to the foreign status of its ultimate parent company.

2. "Is [Nuclear Labyrinth] Capitalized?"

References 1-4 describe the financial qualifications for Nuclear Labyrinth. As provided in References 1-4, sufficient funds will be transferred at closing to cover decommissioning costs

.and twelve months' worth of operations and maintenance costs. Further funding will be provided through sale of ARRR services.

3. "Who are the principals or shareholders in [Nuclear Labyrinth]?"

As provided in the Application at page 6, Nuclear Labyrinth is owned and managed by its CEO, Dr. D. M. Slaughter. Dr. Slaughter is the sole owner and investor of Nuclear Labyrinth.

4. "Are there any security concerns and have they been addressed?"

The Application does not request any changes to current security plans or requirements, Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this submission, please contact Jay Silberg, counsel to Aerotest at 202-663-8063 or jay.silberg@pillsburylaw.com.

Sincerely yours, Ja ilbergi Counsel for Aerotest Operations, Inc.
