i Gentlemen:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you, for infor-mation purposes, of a change to the Nuclear and IndustrialSafety (NIS) organization of UNC Recovery Systems. Thecurrent NIS Manager, D. F. Cronin, has resigned from UNC-RSeffective May 18, 1979. To accommodate Mr. Crcnin's resig-nation, we have taken the follcwing actions:

4 1) K. Helgesen, Health Physics Supervisor, was appointedo.,

V, Acting NIS Manager, effective May 11, 1979.pDoo ggg y"1 Arrangements have been made with UNC Naval ProductsUSNac .

> for provision of nuclear criticality services. These~

C 1 41979 > arrangements provide for part-time residence of a UNC-NP,,

y[53 .: criticality specialist at UNC-RS, and criticality anal-

A ocKn chgD : ysis services at both loca'tions.,

\ '/ q, Resumes of Mr. Helgeson and the UNC-NP personnel who will/ provide services to UNC-RS are attached for your information.While the qualifications of Mr. Helgeson are not totally inconcert with those delineated in section 202.3 of our license( SNM- 777 ) , we feel that the corbination of his experiencein the industry and in working directly with Mr. Cronin forthe past few years, and the technical qualifications andexperience of the UNC-NP personnel who will be working withhim in nuclear criticality meets the intent of the license.Therefore, in our view this organization change will notreduce the effectiveness of our safety and environmentalprogram.

If you desire any additional information, we would be pleasedto provide it.
