SUBJ: Shipping of Unirradiated Fuel from UCLA .

jg

//.

Dear Mr. Bernard:

N d We wish to advise the Commission of our desire to transfer fifteen (15) unirradiated MTR type fuel elements (as plates) from our facility. The plates of five (5) fuel elements are to be shipped to the University of Florida for use in their reactor and the plates of ten (10) fuel elements are to be transfered to a Department of Energy prime contractor, such as ORNL, Livermore, ... . The distribution of the fifteen (15) elaments between the twc destinations is somewnat : nditioned by the choice of shipping containers. The 5:10 distribution represents current intent but is not yet firmly fixed.

The fuel to be transferred consists of unirradiated aluminum clad standard MTR-type 93% enriched fuel plates. The fuel, currently the property of 00E, was provided to UCLA by the DOE for future loading of.the UCLA Argonaut Research Reactor.

j This unirradiated standard fuel has been stored in a special vault since its arrival in 1971. Based upon projections for fuel utilization, it is unlikely we will require

. these fuel elements in the forseeable future. We therefore request its removal by COE from the UCLA licensed facility.

t UCLA will be responsible for supplying those various services and safeguards that I are required for transferring the fuel plates to the DOE-provided shipping containers i1 accordance with the requirements of the UCLA Technical Specifications. DOE will have the resoonsibility for all other aspects of removal of the fuel from the UCLA building and its transportation to the receiver of the fuel inclucing provision of the shipping containers. Management and coordination of the fuel transfer from UCLA is being handled by Mr. Neill Cstrander (213/825-2825). The individual within the San Francisco Operations office of the DOE who has been infonned of the fuel transfer is Mr. David McIntosh (FTS 536-4152).

We hope the preceding description of our projected fuei shioment will provide a timely and satisfactory level of information regarding an event we are most anxious to complete within the shortest time possible

'~

We appreciate you review and consideration of the project and will look forward to a timely transfer of the fuel plates to their respective locations. Please let me know if you need additional information.

Sincerely, .

S$f0{
