January 21, 1993 Docket No. 50-47 Major James T. Naughton, OD Deputy Director / Commander Department of the Army U.S. Army Laboratory Command Materials Technology Laboratory Watertown, Massachusetts 02172-0001

SUBJECT:

CHANGES TO DECOMMISSIONING PLAN I am responding to your letter of November 3, 1992, as supplemented on November 24, 1992, in which you requested permission to modify the Decommissioning Plan for the U.S. Army Materials Technology Laboratory Research Reactor (Decommissioning Plan). On June 3, 1992, you were ordered to dismantle the U.S. Army Materials Technology Laboratory Research Reactor in accordance with the Decommissioning Plan.

You requested to delete the requirement for the Quality Assurance Evaluator / Health Physicist (QAE/HP) to prepare detailed status reports of the technical, budgetary, and schedular progress of decommissioning activities as required in Section 3.2.4 of the Decommissioning Plan. These reports duplicate weekly and monthly budgetary and schedule progress reports prepared by the decommissioning contractor and given to the Contracting Officers Representative for review and approval. This does not affect the Decommissioning Plan requirement that the QAE/HP submit daily written progress reports.

The staff accepts this change because, although the information is not j prepared by the QAE/HP, it is prepared by the decommissioning contractor for the licensee contracting representative. i This modification does not affect the conclusion that the dismantling and decommissioning operations can be conducted without undue risk to the health and safety of the workers or the public and without ar.y significant impact on the environment.

If you have any questions about these changes to your Decommissioning Plan, please contact Alexander Adams at 301-504-1127.
