1. To change the correspondent and address of the licensee.

2. To extend. the enrichment of the uranium in possession from <93 wt% in U-235 to <93 wt% in U-235.

a) Approval of the operating procedures and any changes for the activity being conducted in the reactor area.

b) Review the findings of the quarterly inspection and needed corrective 4

action for the reactor area.  :

i The staff has reviewed the application and determined that the changes will not have a significant impact on workers' health and safety, and do not reduce the effectiveness nor responsibilities of the safety-related functions. Therefore, the request is acceptable.

On April 24, 1986, the staff discussed the amendment application with J. Roth, Region I, Facility Inspector, and he foresaw no safety-related problem with the issuance of this license amendment.

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(v), neither an Environmental Impact Statement nor an Environmental Assessment is warranted for this proposed action.
