Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor, License No. R-106, Docket No. 50-243 Gentlemen:
Paragraph 2.B.(2) of amendment 6 to license R-106, dated August 27, 1981, authorizes OSU to possess 16.3 kilograms of contained U-235 in connection with operation of our TRIGA reactor, and to possess, but not use, approximately 656 grams of U-235 in the control rods and core of our decommissioned AGN-201 reactor.
As a result of OSU's transfer of 92 standard TRIGA fuel elements to the U.S. Department of Energy's (D0E) Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (operated by the Westinghouse Hanford Corporation--Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory, Richland, Washington), in June of 1982, it is now appropriate for us to request a reduction in the amount of U-235 we are authorized to possess in connection with the TRIGA operation. Please note that we do not wish to alter in any way the 656 gram possession authorized
( in connection with the AGN-201 components. This value should remain unchanged.
With respect to the 16.3 kilograms now approved for the TRIGA, we would like to request that this value be reduced to 12.83 kilograms. The new value is representative of the reduction in U-235 (assuming no burnup) achieved by transferring the 92 standard TRIGA elements to DOE, and it is also essentially identical to the recently revised maximum authorized possession limit on our University Reactor Fuel Assistance contract from the DOE (see attached letter of September 7, 1982 and Form 30 from the DOE).

Mr. Hugh F. Jeffrey, Jr.
Director of Business Affairs Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331
Dear Mr. Jeffrey:
CONTRACT DE-AC06-76ER01953 - UNIVERSITY REACTOR FUEL ASSISTANCE I Enclosed for your consideration is a proposed modification to the subject contract directed by Dr. Chih Wang. The modification reduces the amount of Uranium 235 on loan to the University in the fuel elements in use under this contract in the University's TRIGA research reactor.
This action is the result of your transfer of 92 standard fuel elements to -
1 DOE's Fuels and Materials Examination Facility at Hanford in June 1982.
Although the transferred elements were irradiated, resulting in some normal loss of Uranium 235, the new amount on loan is calculated as if the trans-ferred elements had not been irradiated.
If you have any questions about this modification, please call Mrs. Marji
'1 Parker of my staff at (509) 376-2029.
If it is satisfactory to the University, please return four signed and dated copies to me for the Government's signature.
Very truly yours, ww c.gw
