Dear Mr. Parker:

We have reviewed the materials submitted on the project referenced above, and we concur with a finding of No Historic Properties Affected for this undertaking.

We do consider it to be eligible for listing because it would meet Criterion Consideration G of the National Register based on exceptional significance as one of only 27 research reactors in the United States, and as the only liberal arts college in the world with a nuclear reactor. Relicensing of the research reactor to allow operations to continue is considered a positive effect by retaining its use. Our response here is to assist you with your responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (per 36 CFR Part 800). Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions, comments or need additional assistance.

Sincerely, u ie Osborne P eservation Specialist
