UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI - COLUMBIA RESEARCH REACTOR REACTOR OPERATIONS ANNUAL REPORT January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 INTRODUCTION The University of Missouri Research Rtactor (MURR) is a multi-disciplinary research and education facility providing a broad range of analytical, materials science, and irradiation services to the research community and the commercial sector.

Scientific programs include research in archaeometry, epidemiology, health physics, human and animal nutrition, nuclear medicine, radiation effects, radioisotope studies, radiotherapy, and nuclear engineering; and research techniques including neutron activation analysis, neutron and gamma-ray scattering, and neutron interferometry.

The heart of this facility is a pressurized, reflected, open pool-type, light water moderated and cooled, heterogenous reactor designed.for operation at a maximum steady state power level of 10 Megawatts thermal -

the highest powered University-owned research reactor in the United States.

The Reactor Operations Annual Report presents a summary of reactor operating experience for calendar year 2009.

Included within this report are changes to MURR procedures, revisions to the Hazards Summary Report, facility modifications, new tests and experiments, reactor physics activities, and environmental and health physics data.

This Report is being-submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to meet the administrative requirements of MURR Technical Specification 6.1.h (4).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The success of MURR and these scientific programs is due to the dedication and hard work of many individuals and organizations. Included within this group are: the University administration; the governing officials of the State of Missouri; the Missouri State Highway Patrol; the City of Columbia Police Department; the Missouri University Police Department (MUPD); the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); our Regulators; those who have provided funding including the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); Argonne National Laboratory (ANL); Idaho National Laboratory (INL); Sandia National Laboratories (SNL); the Researchers; the Students; the Columbia Fire Department; the Campus Facilities organization; members of the National Organization-of Test, Research, and Training Reactors (TRTR); and many others who have mad&, and will continue to make, key contributions to our overall success. To these individuals and organizations, the staff of MURR wishes to extend its fondest appreciation.

Some of the major facility projects that were supported by Reactor Operations this calendar year included (1) establishing and characterizing an irradiation facility on Beamport 'E' in support of the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy project, (2) irradiating and processing a 5-gram low-enriched uranium (LEU) target to determine the feasibility of producing fission product molybdenum-99 from LEU, and (3) securing the next generation fresh and spent fuel shipping containers. Additionally, in August 2006 MURR submitted a request to the NRC to renew Amended Facility Operating License R-103. This year the NRC began the i

review process of our submittal. Significant efforts have already been placed in responding to the Requests for Additional Information (RAIs) and these efforts will continue in the upcoming year.

The facility is also actively collaborating with the US-RERTR (Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors) Program and four other U.S. high-performance research reactor facilities that use highly-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to find a suitable low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel replacement. Although each one of the five high-performance research reactors is responsible for its own feasibility and safety studies, regulatory interactions, fuel procurement, and conversion, there are common interests and activities among all five reactors that will benefit from a coordinated, working-group effort.

Reactor Operations Management also wishes to commend the three individuals who received their Reactor Operator certifications from the NRC. These individuals participated in a rigorous training program of classroom seminars, self-study, and on-the-job training. The results of this training are confident, well-versed, decisive individuals capable of performing the duties of licensed operators during normal and abnormal situations.

Modification 90-1, Addendum 2:

Evacuation System Changes in Support of the Shipping and Receiving Building This addendum to modification record 90-1, "Evac Horn," documents changes to the facility evacuation system that were necessary in order to safely occupy the new shipping and receiving building (SaRB). To ensure a prompt and effective response from facility staff to an emergency or abnormal condition, the facility evacuation system was extended into the SaRB. One (1) horn was installed in the openspace of this building.

Modification 96-1, Addendum 2:

Removal of the Nuclepore Experiment Equipment This addendum to modification record 96-1, "Removal of Nuclepore Gas Lines, Isolation Valves, and Valve Control Wiring," documents the removal of the remaining utility connections and abandoned components associated with the nuclepore' facility not removed under modification record 96-1. and modification record 96-1, addendum 1. The nuclepore facility was installed in 1977 to provide a means of producing finely controlled porosity in an irradiated plastic film. To accommodate the r'equired equipment a redesigned thermal column door was installed. Within this door, a removable set of uranium-bearing

'fission plates' was exposed to thermal neutron flux in the thermal column facility. As the target film slid across these fission plates, the fission products released penetrated the film, thus producing finely distributed perforations, which were later acid-etched to produce the desired porosity. After the nuclepore facility was decommissioned and abandoned in place in 1993, modification record 96-1 documented the removal of gas lines, isolation valves and valve controls. The irradiator case (that part of the experiment that was moved into and out of the neutron flux) was removed using reactor test procedure RTP-16D.

Addendum 1 to modification record 96-1 documented the removal and disposal of the shield box ventilation exhaust filter housing and associated duct work.

Modification 01-2, Addendum 4:

Intercommunication and Paging System Changes in Support of the Shipping and Receiving Building This addendum to modification record 01-2, "Installation of a New Reactor Facility Intercommunication and Paging System," documents changes to the facility intercommunication and paging system that were necessary in order to safely occupy the new Shipping and Receiving Building (SaRB). To ensure a prompt and effective response from facility staff to an emergency or abnormal condition, the intercommunication and paging system was extended into the SaRB. Two (2) paging speakers were installed in this building.

Modification 01-9, Addendum 3:

Emergency Electrical System in the Shipping and Receiving Building This addendum to modification record 01-9, "Installation of Emergency Lighting Panel No. 1," documents the addition of loads to the emergency electrical power system in the new shipping and receiving building IV-1

(SaRB). This addition provides two (2) 120 volt emergency power circuits to the SaRB for key systems such as fire protection and building access control.

Modification 06-3, Addendum 2:

Replace Flux Trap Holder Wear Ring This addendum to modification record 06-3, "Replace Flux Trap Holder Wear Ring," documents the replacement of the center test hole canister temporary wear ring with a different design. The new ring covers a larger circumference of the flux trap holder; thus ensuring rotation will not disengage the position sensing switches of the flux-trap irradiations reactivity safety trip (FIRST) instrument channel.

This installation was done in support of preliminary long form modification record, "Flux-Trap Irradiations Reactivity Safety Trip (FIRST) Instrument Channel."

The prototype FIRST rig was installed under modification record 08-5, and subsequent details of the FIRST device and its function are provided in this modification record.

Modification 09-1:

Interfacing MURR Systems with the Shipping and Receiving Building This modification record was used as' the initiating document to ensure all systems related to emergency response and routine operation have been identified and modified prior to safely occupying the facility's new shipping and receiving building. Actual modifications to these systems - facility evacuation, fire protection, intercommunication and paging, and normal and emergency electrical power - were performed under addendums to previously approved modification records.

Modification 09-2:

Airlock Door Control This modification record documents the replacement of the existing pedestrian "entry (airlock) door analog control system with a Programmable 'Logic Controller (PLC)-driven system.

In addition, the control scheme was modified to maintain both airlock doors closed and sealed when in an idle condition.

All existing interlocks and protective functions were preserved, with the addition of controls necessary to open and close both doors.

This modification record is classified as "Safeguards Information" due to the inclusion of security-sensitive information.

SECTION VIII ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND HEALTH PHYSICS SURVEYS January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 Environmental samples are collected two times per year at eight (8) locations and analyzed for radioactivity. Soil and vegetation samples are taken at each location. Water samples are taken at three (3) of the eight (8) locations.

Analytical results are shown in Tables I and 2.

Table 3 lists the radiation doses recorded by the environmental monitors deployed around MURR in 2009. All doses are approximately 16 mRem/year or less, except monitor numbers 9, 15 and 42. Monitors 9 and 15 are located near theloading dock where packages containing radioactive material are loaded on transport vehicles. The doses recorded by these monitors are considered to be the result of exposure to packages in transit. Monitor 42 is located in the Health Physics Office, which is in close proximity to the reactor. The environmental monitoring.

program confirms that no environmental impact exists from the operation of the MURR facility.

The number of radiation and contamination surveys performed each month is provided in Table 4.
