(MF5583) Dr. Bush By letter dated September 28, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management (ADAMS) ML15279A343) the University of New Mexico (UNM) responded to the NRC staff's request for additional information, dated September 9, 2015 (ADAMS ML15161A515). Following the receipt of the additional information a phone conversation was held October 18, 2015 to provide clarification of the intended changes to the technical specifications (TS). Below is a summary of the conversation, please respond if you agree to the accuracy of this Email.

Discrepancies in the TS held by the NRC and UNM were found, it was not determined during the conversation why the discrepancies exist. The following TS changes will be made so that the two TSs will conform with one another.

~ Page 23 Specification 6.1.7 "Chief Reactor Supervisor" the phrase "- the committee on Radiation Control -" will be changed to " - Radiation Control Committee - "~ Page 24 contains a discrepancy in the numbering. TS held by the NRC list 6.1.10 and skip numbering to TS 6.1.12 number 6.1.11 is not listed. A number change in the TS will be made, Specification 6.1.12 "Reactor Assistants" will listed as 6.1.11; and Specification 6.1.13 "Operating Staff" will be listed as 6.1.12.~ Page 25 Specification 6.1.13 (b) contains a discrepancy in the wording. "- modification which could -" will be changed to "- modification that could -" The following editorial changes were noticed during the review that were not specifically described by UNM. During the phone conversation it was clarified UNM intends the changes to be included in the amendment request dated March 4, 2015 (ADAMS ML15071A264) as supplemented.

~ Page 25 TS 6.1.13 "Operating Staff" Specification (a) 4. Uses the term "reactor facility" UNM did not make a specific change request to this specification but other changes in the amendment would change the term "reactor facility" to reactor "reactor room." A change will be made to TS 6.1.13 "Operating Staff" Specification (a) 4. to read "reactor room."~ Page 35 TS 6.10.2 "Records to be Retained for the Life of the Facility" Specification (h) the term "limiting safety system setting" is erroneously written as "limiting safety setting". A change to correct it will be made.~ Page 35 TS 6.10.2 "Records to be Retained for the Life of the Facility" Specification (h) will add acronyms to the term "safety limit, (SL)" and "limiting safety system setting (LSSS)" to be consistent with formatting in the specification.
