KANSAS STATE TRIGA Mk II Nuclear U N I v E R s I T y Reactor Laboratory ATTN: Document Control Desk US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 27 May 2022

Subject:

Request for Additional Information (Acc.# ML19128A342) Response Time Extension To Whom It May Concern, On 5 June 2019, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) sent a Request for Additional Information (RAI) to the Kansas State University nuclear reactor facility (license R-88, docket 50-188) regarding a license amendment request (LAR) to add up to four 12%-loaded fuel elements to the core (Acc.#

ML1219A063).

This letter is providing an update to the most recent proposed timeline. Funding for external assistance with neutronics benchmarking was not received until March 2022 instead of August 2021. The delay in project start has resulted in shifting the timeline. We anticipate completion of the neutronics analysis in October 2022 and the successive thermal-hydraulics analysis within three to four months of that.

To allow for the completion of the neutronics and thermal-hydraulics analysis, the facility is requesting to change the *RAl response to 9 Febi'uar'y 2023. Any further changes to the timeline will be communicated to the NRC , .. *

• l3/4eviously discussed,bperations restrictions will remain in place. Advanced notification to the NRC will

• 'be-:provided' if changes to the administrative restrictions are expected prior to completion of the LAR review.

!'swear.Linder penalty bf perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
