Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. K. R. Ridgwa,

of this office on May 18-22, 1981, of activities at the University of Missouri

Research Reactor Facility authorized by NRC Operating License No. R-103 and

!

to the discussion of our findings with you and other members of the University

l

staff _at the conclusion of the inspection.

l

l

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

l

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-

compliance with NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Appendix A.

l

The inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the identified

[

nonccmpliance and to prevent recurrence. Consequently, no reply to this

noncompliance le required.

l

We are concerned by the many reportable events that have occurred.already

this year and particularly by the fact that a majority of these events were

caused by personnel errors. Because of these concerns, I will, in the near

future, request that your management attend an enforcement conference to

discuss your safety program and your planned actions to prevent events of

l

this type. We have reviewed the corrective actions taken following these

l

specific events and find them to be satisfactory. We will review these

l

areas in subsequent inspections.

,

i

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's

,

l

Public Document Room.

If this report contains any information that you or

your contractors believe to be exempt from disclosure under 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4),

l

it is necessary that you (a) notify this office by telephone within seven (7)

days from the date of this letter of your intention to file a request for
