Persons Contacted
- T. Planje, Dean, School of Mines and Metallurgy
- A. Elliott, Reactor Manager M. Jones, Reactor Engineer R. Jones, Reactor Engineer C. Barton, Electronic Technician K. Lane, Reactor Operator Trainee R. Edwards, Department Head, Nuclear Engineering
- Denotes persons attending the management interview.
2.
Organization The review of the organization revealed that it remains consistent with the stated organization and manning requirements of the Tech-nical Specifications, with the exception of the person filling the health physicist position. The health physicist has resigned and the facility is in the process of recruiting for a replacement. The emergency plan requires that the health physicist position be manned.
Currently the routine health physicist duties are being fulfilled by others on the staff. During the review in this area, it was found that data for several monthly water samples could not be located.
The licensee stated that they would continue to search for these records. The inspection indicated that this item would be continued during a future inspection.
3.
Logs and Records The required logs and records were found to be available. The review revealed that the logs were being properly maintained. The log of maintenance activities appeared to contain all required entries.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified in this area.
4.
Review and Audit The reviews and audits performed by the licensee were examined via the review of internal reports issued to the Radiation Safety Committee.
The Safety Committee records and meeting minutes were also reviewed.
The review of the licensed operator requalification training records is now part of the Review and Audit program.
The Review and Audit program appears to be functioning as required.

During the previous inspection period the minutes had stated a
.
recommendation to inspect the pool wall paint. An evaluation of the pool wall paint condition was performed. The results indicated that the " bubbles" in the paint were due to water being present between the multiple layer paint coating on the pool walls and no corrective action is planned at the present time.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified in this area.
5.
Requalification Training The requalification training program records were reviewed and discussions were held with several of the operators. The program records were available and up-to-date.
The exam review sheets are not being maintained as required.
(See Paragraph 9)
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified in this area.
6.
Procedures A number of facility procedures were reviewed to verify that they meet facility requirements. The following procedures were reviewed and found to be acceptable:
S0P 134 Recording of Operation Data 105 Shutdown Checkout Procedures 106 Critical Experiment Procedures 103 Routine Startup Procedure 306 Estimation of Reactivity 701 Request for Reactor Projects S0P 800 Procedure for Semi-Annual Checks 801 Log Count Rate Channel 802 Linear Channel 804 Log N and Period Channel 805 Safety Amplifier 810 Weekly Check for Reactor Console 812 Calibration Check of Log Count Rate Systems No changes were required in the procedures which were reviewed during the inspection.
This procedure review indicates that operations performed with th?
reactor and associated equipment are being performed in accordance with approved procedures.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were ident.4fied in this area.

Surveillance
,
The surveillance records were reviewed and compared to the requirements of the facility Technical Specifications. The required rurveillance tests and verifications were found to have been performed in a timely manner. The procedurally required surveillance testing was found to be acceptable with the exception of the item stated in Paragraph 2.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified in this area.
8.
Experiments The experimental records were reviewed for compliance with the Technical Specifications requirements. The experiements were found to have been performed per the requirements.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified in this area.
9.
Corrective Action to Noncompliance The licensee's approved requalification program, Section 4.0, requires that records be maintained. The required records were determined to be incomplete during the 1978 review. The corrective actions of the on going audit and the test performance sheet are now being performed in a routine manner.
10.
Management Interview The inspector held a management interview with the licensee represen-tatives, indicated in Paragraph 1, at the conclusion of the inspection.
The scope and findings of the inspection were summarized. The licensee was informed that the missing data noted in Paragraph 2 would be held as open item.
