Dear' Sir:

L-Inaccordancelwithrecommendationsmade'by-Deanbhaneyofyour: '

f office during his inspection of'our-. facility on March.2, 1989.

.The Radiation ~ Safety Committee' met'on March 22,.1989 and approved

cutting? power.to the'L-77 research reactor.- This was done to prevent; accidental or inadvertent. manipulation of reactor mechanisms.--This conclusion was reached on'the morning of March-

~22. The.' power.was cut that afternoon by personnel from the electrical shop of'our Physical Facilities Department under my direct supervision.

There have been no other changes to the reactor or the

' surrounding structure. There have'been no. violations of security at thf reactor facility. 'TLD monitors left in and' adjacent to the reactor facility'have recorded no more than 23 mrems in a l period of one year. I_have found no evidence of contamination in the reactor during routine surveys of the facility.

Sincerely,

/
