MIT NUCLEAR REACTOR LABORATORY AN MIT INTERDEPARTMENTAL CENTER John A. Bernard Mail Stop: NW12-208a Phone: 617 2534202 Director of Reactor Operations 138 Albany Street Fax: 617 253-7300 Cambridge, MA 02139 Email: bemardj@mit.edu July 5, 2006 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 Re: Review of Decommissioning Funding Response for MIT Research Reactor, License No. R-37, Docket No. 50-20
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has recently completed a review of the projected costs associated with the decommissioning of the MIT Research Reactor and wishes to increase the funds held in escrow to $23M for License No. R-37. The basis for this figure was the application of standard cost-indices to the estimate that was prepared originally by GE and later re-established by Duke Engineering.
Paragraph 4 of the amendment dated November 30, 2005, to the original agreement requires that: 1) MIT give 30 days notice of any change to both the escrow agent and the NRC; and 2) NRC "approve the amendment in a writing delivered to the escrow agent." A copy of the November 30, 2005, amendment is enclosed for your reference. MIT hereby requests that NRC so notify the escrow agent. It would be most appreciated if MIT were copied on that notification.
Please contact the undersigned if further information is required. Also, it should be understood that MIT has no intention of decommissioning the MIT Research Reactor.
Sincerely, John A. Bernard JAB/koc Enclosure Cc: David Moncton, Director of the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory Margaret Brill, Contracts Counsel, MIT Senior Counsel's Office Robert Davine, Administrative Officer, MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory Alexander Adams, Senior Project Manager, NRC Research and Test Reactors Section
