Box 118300 Department of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering Gainesville, Florida 32611-8300 Tel (352) 392-1408 Fax (352) 392-3380 Email vernet@ufl edu October 22, 2002 Attn: Document Control Desk Potential Tech Spec Violation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Operation for Checkout Washington, DC 20555 without Required Detector Sections 3.2.3 and 5.5.2 University of Florida Training Reactor Facility License R-56, Docket No. 50-83 As per my telephone conversation on October 22, 2002 with NRC Senior Project Manager Alexander Adams concerning UFTR operation for weekly checks on the afternoon of October 21, 2002 without the required installed fission chamber, we have concluded that this failure to have the detector installed while timing the control blades for removal is a potentially reportable occurrence per UFTR Technical Specifications Section 6.6.2 delineating requirements for special reports. The applicable sections of the Technical Specifications iequiring the fission chamber are Section 3.2.3 (Reactor Control and Safety Systems Measuring Channels) requiring detector operability and providing information to the control room operator, and Section 5.5.2 (Reactor Safety System), Paragraph (1) Power Level Channels, and Paragraph (2) Wide Range Logarithmic Power Level and Period Channel, both of which describe the fission chamber's role in the Reactor Safety System.
