ENCLOSURE 1
FACILITY COMMENTS WITH NRC RESOLUTION Question B.2 [1.0 point]
An experimenter wishes to irradiate three specimens with reactivity worths of 0.5% k/k, 0.13%
k/k, and 0.27% k/k. Can these specimens be placed together in the reactor as SECURED experiments and why (or why not)?
- a. Yes, the sum of the three specimens is less than 1.5% k/k.
- b. No, the sum of the three specimens is greater than 0.5% k/k.
- c. Yes, each specimen is less than0.3% k/k.
- d. No, one of the specimens is greater than 0.4% k/k.
Answer: b
Reference:
Technical Specifications section 3.1.
Facility Comment: We agree that answer b is correct because, as reference in the PUR-1 Technical Specifications Section 3.1(g), the maximum excess reactivity worth of all secured experiments (together) cannot exceed 0.5% k/k. However, The PUR-1 Technical specifications also state in Section 3.1(e) that the excess reactivity worth of any single secured experiment shall not exceed 0.4% k/k. One of the experiments listed in Question B.2 has a reactivity worth greater than 0.4%k/k, and so would not be allowed under any circumstances, whether alone or in combination with the other experiments, thus making d a correct answer as well.
We recommend that both b and d be accepted as correct answers for Question B.2.
NRC Resolution: Comment accepted. The answer key for Question B.2 will be modified to reflect that both answers b and d are correct.
Question B.3 [1.0 point]
According to 10 CFR 55.53, To maintain ACTIVE STATUS the licensee shall actively perform the functions of an operator or a senior operator for a minimum of __ hours per calendar quarter.
- a. 2
- b. 4
- c. 6
- d. 8 Answer: c
Reference:
ENCLOSURE 2
Facility Comment: The requirement for 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> per quarter of operator or senior operator duties in 10 CFR 50.55(f)(2) applies to operators who failed to maintain the required number of operations hours in the previous calendar quarter; 10 CFR 50.55(f) specifies that paragraph (f) applies only to those who do not meet the requirements of paragraph (e). Paragraph (e), e.g.
10 CFR 50.55(e) requires that To maintain active status licensee shall actively perform the functions of an operator or senior operator for a minimum of four hours per calendar quarter for test and research reactors.
We recommend that the correct answer be changed to b for Question B.3.
NRC Resolution: Comment accepted. The answer key for Question B.3 will be modified to accept answer b as the only correct answer.
Question B.8 [1.0 point]
When performing a reactor startup, the procedure, 91-1, states that the period meter should not indicate less than:
- a. 45 seconds.
- b. 30 seconds.
- c. 20 seconds.
- d. 15 seconds.
Answer: b
Reference:
Procedure 91-1, Reactor Startup, Part A, step 6.
Facility Comment: We agree that procedure 91-1 states that the period should not be shorter than 30 seconds. However, the PUR-1 Operating Manual (1965) states, on page 8, that the reactor should not be operated with a period shorter than 20 seconds.
We recommend that both b and c be accepted as correct answers for Question B.8.
NRC Resolution: The reactor startup procedure, 91-1, clearly states that that operator should not let the period meter indicate less than a 30 second period. That makes b the correct answer. Answer c would violate the procedure. Therefore, no change to the answer key is needed for Question B.8
