KANSAS STATE I TRIGA Mk II Nuclear u N 1 v E R_ s 1 T y Reactor Laboratory This letter is in response to N~C Generic Letter 2016-01: Monitoring.of Neutron-Absorbing Materials in Spent Fuel Pools.
The Kansas State University ~RIGA Mk-II research reactor facility, Docket# 50-1~8, does not utilize neutron absorbing materials in any fuel storage locations. Such materials are also not credited in our.
Safety Analysis Report. *For this* reason degradation of neutron absorbing materials, such as might be used for the purpos~s of c:riticality safety at some other nuclear facilities, are not-of concern to*this
- facility.
The specific response to the three questions asked in Generic Letter 2016-01 are as follows:
(1).
Are f!eutron~absorblng materials used in a reactor pool, fuel storage pool;~or other wet /Ocations designed Jo; the ~torage of teactor or spent fuel?
No, no ne~tron-absorbing mate.rials are used in any fuel storage locations at this facility.
(2)
If neutron-absorbing materials are. used, is their use credited in the licensliig or design basis (i.e.,
criticality safety analysis) for the storage of reactor fuel or spent fuel in q reactor pool, fuel storage pool, "or other wet locations, as applicable?
. J'.'
Not applicable, see response to (1).
~
(3 J If neutron-absorbing -materials are credited In the facility licensing or design basis for the storage of reactor or sp~nt fuel in a re.actor pool, fuel storage pool, or other wet locatiof}s, as applicable, then provide a description ot and technical basis for, any surveillance or monitoring programs used to confirm continued acceptable performance of the neutron-absorbing materials over-.
time.
No neutron absorbing material~ are credite.d in the*fadlity' licensing 9r design basis for' the storage of reactor or spent fuel in a reactor pool, fuel storage poot*or other wet locations:
~
I verify under penalty of perj1,.1ry that the foregoing is true and correct.
