PlansandProcedure(81401)
Tours of the University of Florida Nuclear Reactor facility and discussion with licensee personnel revealed that University of Florida Research Reactor, rated at 100K watts, was operational.
Observation confirmed that the location of the reactor and associated equipment was within Room 212D of the facility, and the control of access to the facility were as defined and committed to in the Physical Security Plan.
l Review of the combined Physical Security Plan and Contingency Plan, i
revealed that the Plan was detailed and provided adequate guidance for l
licensee personnel responsible for implementation and compliance with security related regulatory requirements.
Alarm response, nonregular hours building checks, and other response related actions were adequately l
addressed in University of Florida Police Procedures.
Discussion with responsible licensee personnel verified awareness of l
security requirements.
In addition, knowledge of and compliance with plan commitments were demonstrated.
l_
No violations of regulatory requirements were identified in this area.
3.
Reports of Safeguards Events (81402)
l Review of the licensee's approved Physical Security Plan confirmed that l
the licensee had committed to reporting Safeguards Events as required by 10 CFR 73.71.
Discussion with licensee management personnel revealed that l
responsible personnel were aware of both telephone and written reporting requirements and the manner in which reports would be accomplished.
i Safeguards Event Reports available were reviewed and the licensee stated
'
I that no reportable events relative to the Nuclear Reactor f acility had occurred in the last reporting period, i

.
Discussion with a member of the University of Florida Police management function verified that procedures were available and personnel were knowledgeable of the necessity and means of contacting appropriate nuclear engineering management personnel in the event of a threat or any nonroutine activity relating to the reactor facility.
No violations or regulatory requirements were noted in this area.
4.
Fixed Site Physical Protection of Special Nuclear Material of Moderate StrategicSignificance(81421)
Tours of the r.uclear reactor facility, observation of installed security related equipment, and discussion with licensee personnel responsible for the operation and security of the facility confirmed that the reactor facility was secured and being protected in accordance with licensee
,
commitments defined in the approved Physical Security Plan and the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73.
Observation and review verified that the University of Florida Research Reactor is located in 212D of the reactor facility.
Each of the portals into the reactor facility is equipped with a balanced magnetic switch (BMS)intrusior, alarm.
,
The Argonault reactor is located in Room 2120, on the basement floor of the Nuclear Science Center reactor facility.
In addition to the reactor, the control console and fuel storage room are located within the room, (2120).
The access portals to the reactor room and the fuel storage room are equipped with balanced magnetic switch (BMS) intrusion alarms, and the interior of the fuel storage room is monitored by a motion detection
'
alarm.
The intrusion alarms annunciate in the dispatcher office of the I!niversity Police and response is directed by the dispatcher.
The licensee routinely
I tests the intrusion alarm system at seven-day intervals.
Inquiry and observation determined that the University Police are equipped with vehicles, weapons, and two-way radio communications. The University Police routinely patrol the reactor f acility and conduct a minimum of four physical checks of the facility each night.
Police personnel are provided a tour of the reactor facility and response training on an annual basis.
The licensee maintains accountability of security keys to the facility, conducts random searches of personnel departing the facility, and conducts pre-employment screening of employees granted unescorted access to the facility in accordance with provisions of the Physical Security and Contingency Plans.
No violations of regulatory requirements were identified in this are _

Material Control and Accountability
~
'
. This routine material control and accountability inspection was conducted to determine the adequacy of the University of Florida Department of Nuclear Engineering program to account for and control the use of special nuclear material in its possession.
Written material control and accountability procedures as required by 10 CFR 70.51(c) had been established, maintained and followed by the licensee at the time of this inspection. These procedures encompassed the fundamental elements of accounting in the areas of storage, use, inventory and records.
The inspector examined-the licensee's last recorded physical inventory dated March 16, 1989.
Review of subsequent recorded inventories indicated that they are being performed twice a year as required.
The following special nuclear material is located in Room 2120 of the Nuclear Sciences Center.
.130 grams U-235 Fission Chamber #L-1707 cylinder 0.075 grams U-235 Fission Chamber fM-2509 cylinder and extension
.032437 grams U-235 Fission Chamber #C-1038 cylinder 0.084 grams U-235 Fission Chamber UFf510072 lollipop
.1688 grams U-235 Fission Chamber UF#510071 lollipop 64.0 grams U-235 UF-6 cylinder 93.0 grams U-235 UF-6 cylinder 0.30 grams U-233 26.7 grams U-237 foil in vacuum jar 16.6 grams U-235 foil in vacuum jar
.146 grams U-235 foil in vacuum jar
.153 grams U-235 UO2 coated in tube
'
l
.1 grams U-235 UO2 coated in two tubes l-
.200 grams U-235 UF coated in tube
An audit of the licensee's Material Balance Report, Form DOE /NRC 742 for c
the period ending March 16, 1989, indicated that the report was completed l
l in accordance with the printed instructions delineated in NUREG/BR-0007, and that the inventory changes as a result of product and depletion had
'
i been correctly reflected in the material balance.
There were no violations of regulatory requirements noted in this area.
l 6.
Exit Interview The inspection scope and results were summarized on September 27, 1989, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1.
The inspectors described the areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection results listed above.
