THE PENNSYLVANI A STATE UNIVERSITY 2M OLD MAD 4 BURDDiG UNIVERSITY PARK. PENNSYLVANIA 16802 Vke Preudent for Area Code 814 Rescarth and Graduate Studes 865-6332 21 January 1980 Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Re: Facility License CDW(R-2)
Docket No. 50-5 Gentlemen:
In accordance with section 59(b) of 10 CFR 50, The Pennsylvania State University Breazeale Nuclear Reacc.or reports certain minor changes made to its faciitty during the calendar year 1979. These changes are as follows:
1.
On April 4, 1979, a steel roll-up door was installed inside the double wooden doors in the beam hole laberatory.
This additional door provides increased security to the beam hole laboratory area.
2.
On >by 14, 1979 the entire reactor facility was rekeyed. The change, which involved approximately 120 locks, was deemed necessary because some keys to the old locks were missing.
This lock change significantly increased the security of the facility.
3.
On June 1, 1979, a new Victoreen radiation alarm system was placed in service. This system incorporates a high and a low range detector -- one on either side of the reactor bridge, two continuous air monitors - one on either side of the reactor bay, a Co-60 bay monitor and a beam hole laboratory monitor. These monitors have remote readouts in the reactor control room and operate using an uninterruptable power supply. This reserve battery supply insures monitor operation during facility power failures and also supplies power to an alarm horn in each of the three areas monitored.
This system is an improvement over the former one which did not have battery operated alarm horns.

Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission page 2 4.
On June 11, 1979, an emergency reactor scram button, located in Room 125, was removed from' service when the room was converted to a conference room. No need for an emergency scram in this location has existed for many years.
This change prevents accidental scrams by someone not familiar with its purpose.
5.
On June 14, 197", a small wall and its associated double doors (the southwest entrance to the reactor bay from the hallway) was moved toward the reactor bay about ten feet.
This move allows access to Room 118 (which contains no vital equipment) without first entering the reactor bay. The control room door which formerly opened between the old and new entrances to the reactor bay was also moved to allow entry only from the reactor bay.
This change increases security since the area which must be protected by an intrusion alarm has been decreased.
6.
On June 20, 1979 the remote alarm indicating panel in the west stairwell was modified to include the beam hole laboratory monitor alarm.
This panel is used by the evacuation re-entry team to ascertain which monitor activated the alarm.
7.
Throughout the year minor changes were made to procedures necessitated by equipment changes and to maintain consistency
?id eliminate multiple directions in single steps.
Also, please find enclosed a copy of the Twenty-fourth Annual Progress Report of The Pennsylvania State University Breazeale Nuclear Reactor.
This report covers the period from July 1,1978 to Juae 30, 1979.
Sincerely yours,
