- 2. Filing of Applications (10 CFR 50.30)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.30, the following applicable information is submitted:
(e) Exempt (f) Environmental Considerations: The environmental considerations for the University of Florida Training Reactor are embodied in the enclosed Safety Analysis Report, primarily in Chapter 2 of the SAR.
- 3. Technical Information (10 CFR 50.34)
(a) FSAR: Applicable portions of 10 CFR 50.34 (b) are submitted in the enclosed Final Safety Analysis Report for the UFTR. The FSAR is presented in a Reg. Guide 1.70 type-forn,at, containing the information pertinent to the requirements for a research reactor, using updated analysis and information when appropriate. All systems described in the SAR are the currently existing, updated systems. No structural weakness or vulnerability to earthquakes have been identified at the UFTR. The biological shielding was augmented in 1964 when the reactor power was increased to 100 KWth, ard additional improvements made in 1976. The original aluminum primary coolant lines, embedded in concrete beneath the reactor core and shield, were replaced by new and larger lines in 1970 because of corrosion problems. A new design and arrangement was -
used to minimize the corrosion problems and increase the flow capacity of the system. A new primary coolant pump, purification loop and secondary coolant system were installed in -
1973-1974, as well as flow and temperature . measurement devices. The entire UFTR console was replaced by a solid-state Reactor Control, Safety and Radiation Monitoring System Console and Instrumentation in 1970. The reactor facilities have been renovated and improved recently. The UFTR is presently much better equipped and instrumented than on its original startup. No deterioration of any system or component important to safety is known to exist; surveillance requirements will insure that the facility will be able to :ontinue operating safely.
(b) 10 CFR 50.34 (b) (6) - Applicable portions
( v) Emergency Planning: The Emergency Plan for the UFTR which was completed in October, 1980, is being revised to comply with the new Upgraded Emergency Preparedness Regula-tions (amendments to Part 50, Part 70 and Appendix E to Part 50). The Emergency Plan will be submitted under separate cover no later than March 31.1981.
(vi) Proposed Technical Specifications: The new proposed technical specifications, in accor-dance with 10 CFR 50.36, are included in this submittal as Chapter 16 of the SAR. The new TS have been made as standard as physical and operational constraints permit, and include ALAR A considerations and provisions for handling explosives and hazardous materials.
(c) Operator License and Requalification Program: The technical qualifications of personnel and the Facility organization to conduct reactor operations including operator licenses and Requalification Program (pursuant to 10 CFR Part 55 and Appendix A to Part 55) are included in Chapter 13 of the FSAR.
(d) Physical Security Plan (10 CFR 50.34 (c)): The Physical Security Plan for the UFTR was submitted to thL Commission on August 4,1980 and is to be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 (d).
