SUBJECT:

License Amendment to Reduce Allowable U-235 to 10 grams.

Dear Mr. Adams,

Please find enclosed the requested changes to paragraph 2.B of the facility license. These changes are in response to the shipment of all TRIGA fuel from the facility in August of 2004.

This will place the amount of special nuclear material allowed at the facility below the level of low strategic significance (15 grams).

If there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards, Richard L. Holm Reactor Administator C: File

License Amendment to Reduce Allowable U-235 to 10 grams Currently paragraph 2.B of the facility license reads as follows; "B.
