Security Plan The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the licensee's appreved security plan which was subnitted by letter dated September 20, 1974 and revisions submitted by letters dated March 31, 1976, November 5, 1976 and September 30, 1977.
The security plan, as approved, was written to incorporate the requirements of 10 CFR 73.50 and 73.60.
However, the licensee has reduced its inventory of unitradiated fuel to less than'five' kilograms.
The licensee intends to submit a revised security plan upon publication of 10 CFR 73.XX.
No changes to the approved plan have been made subsequent to the last inspection.
Protection of SNM The inspectors determined that the S21 actually possessed by the licensee is below the threshold quantity and therefore exempt from the requirements of 73.50 and 73.60.
The license has not been revised to reflect the reduction in authorized limits.
Fuel tanufactured for the reactor is stored by the U.S. Department of Energy and forwarded to MURE on request.
Shipments contain less than strategic quantities.
During the inspection it was determined that the licensee has three elements (350 grams of U-235 per element).
Four elenents containing 775 grams of U-235 per element were te be shipped January 23 or 24, 1979 from U.S.D.O.E.
5.
_ Security Orran t: at ions The inspection disclosed that the licensee is adhering to securits plan comnitments regarding the overall structure and functional responsibilities of the security organi: ation.
Interviews were conJucted with supervisery personnel of the university's police and wat chnan services.
Subsequent to the last inspection, Dr. J. Schlapper, Senior Research Scientist, was designated Alternate Security Director.
It is expected that Mr. D. McGinty Reactor Physicist, will assume that ponition in the near future.
