SU8ECT: Response to NRC GENERIC LETTER 2016-01: MONITORING OF NEUTRON-ABSORBING MATERIALS
Dear Sir or Madam:
As requested by NRC GENERIC LETTER 2016-01: MONITORING OF NEUTRON-ABSORBING MATERIALS, the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) Docket 50-170 license R-84 submits the following information:
The AFRRI does not possess a fuel storage pool or spent fuel pool, nor do we have neutron absorbing material outside of the reactor core so this generic letter does not apply.
(1) Are neutron-absorbing materials used in a reactor pool, fuel storage pool, or other wet locations designed for the storage of reactor or spent fuel?
NO (2) If neutron-absorbing materials are used, is their use credited in the licensing or design basis (i.e., criticality safety analysis) for the storage of reactor fuel or spent fuel in a reactor pool, fuel storage pool, or other wet locations, as applicable?
N/A (3) If neutron-absorbing materials are credited in the facility licensing or design basis for the storage of reactor or spent fuel in a reactor pool, fuel storage pool, or: other wet locations, as applicable, then provide a description of, and technical basis for, any surveillance or monitoring programs used to confirm continued acceptable performance of the neutron-absorbing materials overtime.
N/A If you need further information, please contact Mr. Steve Miller at 301-295-9245 or stephen.miller@usuhs.edu.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Executed on November 2, 2016.
