Subject:

Supplemental Information for License Amendment Request for Position Title Change in Technical Specifications for Level 1 Staff, Docket No. 50-20, License R-37 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hereby submits supplemental information for its Facility Operating License No. R-37 License Amendment Request {LAR) originally submitted to NRC on 12 March 2020, requesting a position title change in reactor Technical Specifications for Level 1 staff. The proposed title change requires revision to several sections in the Technical Specifications, including page 6-33, which is part of the Quality Management Program for Section 6.5 Generation of Medical Therapy Facility Beams for Human Therapy. Item numberings on page 6-33 were identified as having unintended changes from the original Technical Specifications authority document. The supplemental information consists of the enclosed corrected markup and final versions of page 6-33 of the Technical Specifications.

These supersede the markup and fmal versions of page 6-33 from the 12 March 2020 LAR.

Again, MIT considers the proposed position title change along with the new management structure an improvement to the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory, maintaining the safe and reliable operation of the MIT Reactor, while improving research and utilization.

Sincerely, Edward S. Lau, Assistant Director of Reactor Operations MIT Research Reactor I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true : d~ =
