'N Discussion:\\

The first facility to convert to low enriched uranium s

is the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). The

\\

\\

regulation in 10 CFR 50.64(c)(3) requires that the

\\

conversion be implemented by an order issued by the

\\

Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Reguletion.

x Enclosure I is the order which has been issued for the

' conversion of the RPI fscility.

Future orders should 13e subsequently cimilar. Consequently, unless requested j

by'Nthe ComfLP, ion, the staff does not intend to i

subinjt subsequent conversion orders to the Comission for fqformation prior to issuance.

Coordination:

The Office of the General Counsel has reviewed this paper and has no legal objection to it.
