Dear Sir:

In accordance with the recent U.S.N.R.C. order to the Georgia Institute of Technology to move to a secure facility all unirradiated high enriched uranium fuel presently on-site, except for that needed to replace one failed element for each different type element in the core, and in accordance with 10CFR 71.12 subpart C, I hereby apply on behalf of the Georgia Institute of Technology to use NRC approved package, identifi-cation number USA /9134/B()F to ship the unirradiated fuel to Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A copy of the certificate is enclosed.

Due to the delay in transmittance of the NRC order (November 14, 1985) your assistance in expediting this matter will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

,/ ,
