ATTN: H. E. Eskridge, Supervisor Nuclear Licensing, Safety and Accountability P.O. Box 107 Highway P Hematite, Missouri 63047 Gentlemen:

This is in response to your letter dated December 5, 1986, in which you requested permission to implement an annual inventory frequency as permitted under the provisions of 10 CFR 74.31.

Although your Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan which you submitted for 10 CFR Part 74 has not yet been approved, we have determined that your present material control and accounting requirements and commitments as well as your past performance under 10 CFR Part 70 are adequate relative to the criteria for allowing an annual inventory frequency for facilities possessing and using special nuclear material of low strategic significance. We have further determined that the granting of your request will not adversely affect the common defense and security nor the public health and safety and is otherwise in the public interest. Accordingly, we are revising License Condition 5.3 to Amendment MPP-3 of your License No. SNM-33, effective immediately, to read as follows:

5.3 Notwithstanding the requirements of 70.51(e)(3)(ii) and of Sec-tions 5.1 and 5.4 of the Plan identified in Condition 2.1 (all of which pertain to the frequency of physical inventories), the licensee need only conduct one physical inventory during calendar year 1987, to be initiated no later than July 31, 1987. There-after, a physical inventory shall be conducted at least once during each calendar year with no more than 13 months elapsing between any two consecutive inventories.

Sincerely, N

• h Willard B. Brown, Chief Safeguards Material Licensing and International Activities Branch Division of Safeguards, NMSS 8704000122 861223 PDR ADOCK 07000036 C PDR_
