On October 23, 1994, the Petitioner requested (1) the shutdown and decontamination of the Georgia Tech Research Reactor, (2) the revocation of liquid radioactive material release authority to all licensees, (3) the revocation of licenses that use the principle of "as low as reasonably achievable," (4)'the termination of transportation of radioactive material by mail, and (5) the modification to posting requirements for radioactive material. A " Partial Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206" (DD-95-15) dated July 31, 1995, addressed requests (2) through (5) and all the issues concerning request (1) except those management and sectrity issues, which were 9707010200 970627 PDR ADOCK 05000160 0 PDR
