NRC REVICW 0F EXTENDED LIFE ALVMINIDE FUEL (ELAF) AMENDMENT APPLICATION We are continuing our review of your application to Facility License No. 9-103 for permission to use ELAF in your reactor. The application was submitted by letter dated September 12, 1986, as supplemented. During our review of the information you had submitted, questions have arisen for which we require additional information and clarification. please provide responses to the enclosed Request for Additional Information within 30 days of the date of this letter. Following receipt of the additional information we will continue our evaluation of your request. If you have any questions regarding this review, please contact me at (301) 492-1121.
The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P.L. 95-511.
