Dear Dr. Hawari:

As part of your application for renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-120, dated February 24, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17088A819), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Emergency Preparedness Plan, dated March 29, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17088A833).

We have completed our review of the NCSU Emergency Preparedness Plan and concluded that it remains compliant with the regulations and guidance below:

• NUREG 0849, "Standard Review Plan for the Review and Evaluation of Emergency Plans for Research and Test Reactors," issued October 1983 (ADAMS Accession No. ML062190191).
