License Amendment Request 9261-1, Supplement 2
1. Holtec Project 5014 2. Holtec Letter to NRC dated November 24,1999, LAR 9261-1
As committed during our telephone conversation yesterday, we enclose herewith replacement pages for proposed Safety Analysis Report (SAR) Revision 9, a sketch of the criticality model of the QUAD+ assembly, and revised wording for the Certificate of Compliance related to the AntimonyBeryllium neutron source. Please note that while the value of Sby presented in Appendix 2.R is different due to a unit conversion, the value used in the underlying calculation is unaffected and the 33% safety margin remains unchanged.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact us.
Sincerely,
inan G herman, P.E. Licensing Manager
Approval:
