may be viewed as a decrease in the effectiveness of the Plan..Your. proposed changes -
.would decrease the frequency of radiation safety training, exercises / drills and of familiarization visits from offsite response organizations. :The changes were reviewed using i
NUREG-0849, " Standard Review Plan for the Review and Evaluation of Emergency Plans for Research and Test Reactors."

.The change related to frequency of radiation safety training was discussed in our letter and
.- request for additional information of July 30,1998 to you. Following receipt of the
. additional information, we will continue our evaluation.
The decrease in frequency of exercises / drills from annual to biennial is acceptable and is approved by NRC. Based on the change in radioactive materials inventory and the L reduction in potential offsite consequences, the plan for training and familiarization onsite -
. for offsite response organizations is acceptable and approved by NRC.
