SUBJECT:
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA - NRC ROUTINE INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-186/2012-203
Dear Mr. Butler:
From October 29 to November 1, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) completed an inspection of the University of Missouri-Columbia Research Reactor (Inspection Report No. 50-186/2012-203). The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on November 1, 2012, with you; Les Foyto, Associate Director, Reactor and Facilities Operations; John Fruits, Reactor Manager; and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed various activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two Severity Level IV violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are being treated as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section 2.3.2.b of the Enforcement Policy. The NCVs are described in the subject inspection report. No response to this letter is required. However, if you contest the violations or significance of the NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, and requests for withholding, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Craig Bassett at 301-466-4495 or by electronic mail at Craig.Bassett@nrc.gov.
