Dear Mr. Chairman:
Enclosed is the report entitled "Technical Competencies for the Safe Interim Storage and Management of U-233 at DOE Facilities." It represents the deliverable for Commitment 12 of the Department's Implementation Plan for addressing the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's Recommendation 97-1 concerning the safe storage of uranium-233 material.
The report documents Federal and contractor employees with direct experience in handling, processing, and managing uranium-233. It also includes information on major uranium-233 and related actinide programs at each site. The report serves as a useful reference of expertise available to support the Uranium-233 Safe Storage Program.
If you have any questions, please contact me, or have your staff contact Hoyt Johnson of my staff at (202) 586-0191.
Sincerely,
