DOCKET NO.: 70-144 APPLICANT: The Pennsylvania State University (PSU)
SUBJECT:
AMENDMENT APPLICATION DATED OCTOBER 20, 1978
Background
The subject October 20, 1978, application requests that Special Nuclear Material License SNM-123 be amended to allow the use of an additional 30 grams of Pu as a 2-curie Pu-Be neutron source.
Discussion PSU is currently licensed to possess 165 grams of Pu in the form of Pu-Be ne'Jtron Sources. They request authorization to receive an additional 30 grams Pu as Pu-Be neutron Sources.
Radiation Safety An increase f *om 165 to 195 grams of Pu in Pu-Be neutron sources does not require any modification of the PSU radiation safety program.
The existing program is satisfactory.
Nuclear Safety The quantity of special nuclear material licensed under SNM-123 is insufficient to attain a critical mass.
Recommendation It is recommended that the amendment application be approved.
