SUBJECT:
IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY - NRC SECURITY-RELATED INSPECTION
REPORT NO. 50-284/2012-202 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Dr. Kunze:
From August 20 to 22, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a
security inspection at your Idaho State University AGN-201 Research Reactor facility. The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your facility. The enclosed report
presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and
compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed 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. The violations were evaluated in accordance with the
NRCs Enforcement Policy, which is included on the NRCs Web site at www.nrc.gov; select
What We Do, Enforcement, and then Enforcement Policy. The violations are cited in the
enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the surrounding circumstances are described in detail
in the subject inspection report. The violations are being cited in the Notice because they
constitute failures to meet regulatory requirements that have more than minor safety
significance and the licensee failed to identify the violations.
You are required to respond to this letter within 30 days and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your
response, in part, to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure
compliance with regulatory requirements.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public
inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this letter will be available
electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly
Available Records component of NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRCs Website at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However,
because of the security-related items contained in the enclosure and in accordance with
10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter=s enclosure will not be available for public inspection.
