DETAILS 1.- Persons Contacted W. Whittemore, Physicist-in-Charge, TRIGA
'K. Asmussen, Manager, Licensing and Nuclear Compliance
- J. Razvi, Associate Physicist-in-Charge, TRIGA W. Stout, Deputy Physicist-in-Charge Allegation No. RV-87-A-0012 An anonymous individual alleged that during the past six months, on picking up irradiated material, individuals picking up the material and-the material were released without a radiation surve h}
The inspector. examined the licensee's procedures governing removal of radioactive material or contaminated material and equipment from controlled areas. Also examined were the records entitled-(1) Health fL Physics Radiological Work Permits and (2) Radioactive Material / Removal Record. These records showed that routinely irradiated materials have
'
been properly monitored for radiation and contamination prior.to release (
-
to authorized individual . In addition, the personnel radiation survey instrument located at the entrance / exit to the reactor room was observed to be operatin Personnel leaving the area are responsible for surveying themselves. The reactor room is a clean area during routine operatio Based on d % ussions with the licensee representatives, normally, when irradiated materials are picked up the materials are surveyed at the time. H aever, a survey at the time of pick up-is not required so long ~
as the Health Physicist has previcusly performed a survey of the material and recorded the results on the Radioactive Material / Removal Recor This. record must be signed by the individual picking up the materia The record also show's the receiving organization and its license number to ensure transfer to authorized individual The allegation appears to_be unsubstantiate .No violations or deficiencies were identified in this are , LER Followup The event reported to the NRC by letter dated January 9, 1987, involving the failure of.one of the control rods to drop upon receipt of a scram signal was reviewed with the, licensee representatives. The inspector observed the removal and reinstallation of the referenced screen device and examined the control rod assembly where the screen device was locatedc Additionally, the inspector verified that the facility procedures have been changed to ensure that a senior facility staff member verifies

4. Repairs to Cooling System s
As a result of water loss in the Mark I reactor tank when the cooling
~
system was operated, investigation during December 1986, revealed leakage of coolant from the underground line imediately adjacent to the Nort wall of the Mark I reactor room. The leakage was found to be from-numerous pin holes in the lines and were attributed to age and pitting of the aluminum piping by the surrounding gravel. The inspector observed-the area and noted that the lines had been replaced and that the soil adjacent to the lines had been packaged in-drums to be disposed of as low level waste. Samples of the soil analyzed for radioactivity showed levels nn the order of picocuries per gram. The major component of activity was antimony 124 with a half life of 60 day No violations or deviations were identifie . Exit Interview Since the Physicist-in-Charge of the facility accompanied the inspector during the inspection, a separate interview was not held at the conclusion of the inspection.
