- 1. Introduction The University of California, Davis McClellan Nuclear Research Center (MNRC) consists of a research reactor and associated radiography and positioning equipment. This MNRC Annual Report is published each year in support of the license provided by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The aforementioned license is for the operation of a steady-state TRIGATM reactor with pulsing capability.
It is the intent of this document to provide information relevant to the safe operation of the UCD/MNRC. A brief description of the MNRC facility and administration is followed by operational events and health physics information concerning this facility during CY 2009.
- 2. UCD/MNRC Facility Description The UCD/MNRC is located on the McClellan Industrial Park site; the reactor is housed in Building 258.
The McClellan Industrial Park site is approximately 2600 acres, located eight miles northeast of Sacramento, California.
The UCD/MNRC facility is a three level 14,720 sq. ft. rectangular-shaped enclosure that surrounds a 2 MW research reactor. The UCD/MNRC provides four neutron beams and four bays for radiography. All four bays are capable of using radiography film techniques, but Bays 1 and 3 will normally use electronic imaging devices. Space, shielding and environmental controls are provided by the enclosure for neutron radiography operations performed on a variety of samples. Adequate room has been provided to handle the components in a safe manner.
In addition to the radiography bays, the UCD/MNRC reactor also has several in-core facilities ranging from a pneumatic tube system to a central irradiation facility.
For more detailed information on the UCD/MNRC project, the reader is referred to the UCD/MNRC Safety Analysis Report.

An Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) fault occurred on 5/27. Investigation showed no noticeable power fluctuations/loss of power, and that the ambient temperature in the Equipment Room was elevated 12 degrees F above normal. Found the compressor for AC-2 (Equipment Room) was off even though there was a temperature call on the thermostat. AC-2 was cycled off and on at the safety switch, resetting the unit control circuits. The UPS was placed in bypass and then back to normal to reset the fault once the temperature in the space returned to normal.
UCD/MNRC Annual Report 2009 3
MNR.C IJDAVIS Investigation of AC-2 failure showed one condenser fan motor was seized, causing the compressor to trip on high backpressure after sustained cooling operations. The condenser fan motor was replaced. AC-2 operations returned to normal.
During the startup on 5/29, reactor power decreased to 0 after placing the reactor in automatic at 1 MW. The Regulating Rod position indication showed the rod was bottomed. The Demand Power thumbwheel indicated 1 MW was selected. The reactor was placed in manual, and the operator cycled the thumbwheel several times. Demand Power indications followed switch operations on the High Resolution Monitor.. The operator was unable to reproduce the event, so the Senior Reactor Operator gave permission to return to 1 MW for operations. Subsequent attempts to reproduce the event after shutdown showed no abnormalities. The probable cause was a high resistance contact that was "wiped cleaned" during attempts to reproduce by cycling the switch. Another possible cause was a misalignment of contacts on the switch due to not fully engaging the thumbwheel in the detent when 1 MW was selected.
June
- 1. There were no unscheduled shutdowns in the month of June.
- 2. There was one callback to the facility in the month of June: Rod Withdrawal Prohibit (RWP) alert, cleared upon acknowledgement.
There was an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) fault during the pre-start checks on 29 June. The ambient temperature was normal in the Equipment Room. Placing the unit in Bypass did not clear the problem. The system was placed in Maintenance Bypass and the UPS was completely secured and allowed to sit for 10 minutes. No obvious physical issues were noted within the unit. All voltages returned to normal on startup. The UPS was placed back on line. This is the second fault event in a month. Operations personnel will monitor the UPS closely for unusual responses.

7.2 ANOMALIES
During 2009, there were 2 reported anomalies at the MNRC facility. The specifics are listed below November
- 1. There were two anomalies reported in the month of November as follows:
1: Chaffed lanyardreleasedquide tube Anomaly Report 11/09/09 Date/ Time of Discovery/Occurrence: 11/09/09 -0900 hrs The Reactor was operating at 1 MW (startup was at 0802 - so at most 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> had elapsed before discovery) with one primary pump running.
During a tour of the Reactor Room and visual inspection of the Reactor Tank, two sections of frayed nylon lanyard were noted floating on the tank surface with the other end tied off on a section of air sample piping. It was quickly noted that one of the old transient rod guide tubes had chaffed through this nylon cord and had fallen to near the bottom of the reactor tank on top of the Bay 1 beam tube insert.
The Reactor Supervisor directed that the reactor be shutdown and primary and demineralizer pumps secured.
The Reactor Supervisor and Radiation Safety Officer retrieved the old guide tube and reattached the tube to the air sample piping. New nylon lanyard was used to reattach the tube and the lanyard was also replaced on the second tube also hanging from the same sample piping. These tubes are decaying in place in the tank until they can be removed and sectioned for disposal or weld repaired and reused.
A visual inspection from the tank surface revealed no damage to the Bay 1 beam tube insert or helium lines and the reactor core structure and fuel were never at risk.
The Reactor Supervisor then granted permission to restart the reactor and retutm to normal 1 MW operation.
Corrective Action:
This type of chaffing failure has not been noted before at the MNRC. Senior Reactor Operators have been briefed on the occurrence and have been instructed to replace the lines as necessary if any chaffing is noted.

- NC ANNUAL REPORT FR 200j 2: RerulatingRod failed to operate in Automatic Anomaly Report for Regulating Rod failure to operate in automatic, 11/23/2009 Time: 1400 Reactor conditions prior to the anomaly and what occurred during the anomaly:
The reactor was in automatic, steady state operation at 1 Megawatt with two main coolant pumps operating for radiography. The reactor operator attempted to level rods after the 1400 logs by bumping in 5 control rods several units each. The Regulating Rod did not drive out as expected, and reactor power drifted down to approximately 44% from 50%.
Several attempts were made to change reactor power by use of the thumbwheel demand power switch, with no Regulating Rod movement noted. During these attempts the control rod power translator was monitored for proper operation. No unusual indications were noted on the translator.
What actions were taken to correct this anomaly:
The reactor was shut down, and the CSC computer was rebooted.
All control rods were operated in and out. The Regulating Rod did not move on the initial attempt. Translator connections were checked for tightness, and the Regulating Rod operation was observed. Note that no obvious loose connections were found.
Control rod operability checks were performed on the Regulating Rod, with satisfactory operation noted and the drop time was 0.39 seconds, in specification.
The Regulating Rod was again operated full travel, with no unusual operations noted. The CSC DOM32 and DIS064 utilities were run, with no abnormalities found.
On 25 November, the Regulating Rod again failed to operate in the out direction when the other rods were bumped in to level rod heights.
Shim 1 and Shim 2 were placed in automatic, and controlled the reactor by moving in and out as needed. The Regulating Rod did not move out, but did move in during auto operation. This showed the problem was not in the DAC control circuitry for Automatic Operation. The reactor was shut down, and troubleshooting began.
Troubleshooting isolated the problem to the signal wiring from the Regulating Rod translator to the 9 pin D connector at the motor on the bridge.
Continuity checks on the wiring showed no problems. All Regulating Rod translator wiring was lifted, checked and reconnected. Following the reconnection and tightening of the wires and UCDIMNRCAnnual Report 2009 6
1XDAV15 MNRC M N C-' ' IUCD/MNRC ANNUAL REPORT FOR 20019 connectors, the Regulating Rod operated normally. No obvious corrosion/oxidation was noted during the checks, and the connectors appeared to be tight prior to the checks.
Rod operability checks were performed for both Shim 4 and the Regulating Rod. Both passed the op checks sat, with the Regulating Rod drop time of 0.38 seconds, and the Shim 4 drop time of 0.40 seconds.
What corrective actions are needed to prevent this anomaly from reoccurring in the future:
Subsequent operation will require additional surveillance to insure proper and safe operation of the reactor. All systems appear to be functioning correctly, and normal reactor operations have been resumed.
