REACTOR IS
/HOUSED IN THE BUILDING REPORTED AS DAMAGED [   (b)(1) sec 
1.3(a)(4)   ] THE

/DESTROYED IN 1981. THE SECTION OF THE BUILDING WHICH HOUSED THE
/OSIRAK REACTOR WAS REBUILT IN EARLY 1989, AND NOW MAY CONTAIN
/OFFICES AND LABORATORIES. THE HIGH BAY SECTION OF THE BUILDING
/CONTAINS THE 800 KILOWATT ISIS REACTOR. THE FULL EXTENT OF DAMAGE
/TO THE BUILDING ON 17 JANUARY CANNOT BE ASSESSED [   (b)(1) sec 
1.3(a)(4)   ]
/
/COMMENTS -- [   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4)   ]THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT 
OF HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM STORED IN THE ISIS REACTOR BUILDING. IF 
THE ISIS REACTOR WAS DESTROYED OR HEAVILY DAMAGED, OR IF ANY 
HIGHLY-ENRICHED URANIUM FUEL WAS STORED WITHIN THE BUILDING, THE 
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD WOULD BE MINIMAL AND ANY PUBLIC 
HEALTH EFFECT PROBABLY WOULD BE UNDETECTABLE OFF SITE.
