This is in partial response to your letter dated March 24, 1984, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, copies of all physical security and safeguards inspection reports from 1979 to the present for the research reactors at the Universities of California at Los Angeles, Washington, and Florida, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Iowa State University.
This response addresses the University of Florida and Virginia Polytechnic Institute research reactors. The search for inspection reports concerning the University of Florida was narrowed as explained in my letter to you dated April 9, 1984.
Portions of the documents listed on Appendix A are enclosed. The deleted information identifies procedures for safeguarding licensed special nuclear material at a licensed facility.        This information is considered commercial or financial (proprietary) information pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(d) and is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to exemption 10 CFR 9.5(a) (4)(of
