License R-47, docket 50-99 Dismantling Plan for the Lynchburg Pool Reactor, July, 1981 Gentlemen:
This is to forward the revision of Section 8 of the referenced plan.
This revision replaces the previous Section 8 in its entirety.
Section 8 of the referenced plan specified when, during the dismantling of the facility, certain portions of the technical specifications would no longer be applicable.
This revision specifies that the technical specifi-cations terminate when the plan becomes effective.
The revision also sets forth the administrative controls that will be used during the distrantling period.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please call me.
Yours very truly,

8.
Administrative Requirements A#ter the fuel from the LPR is shipped offsite, the Technical Specifica-tions of License R-47 will no longer be applicable.
In place of these deleted Technical Specifications, the following controls will be in effect.
A.
Organization 1)
The line organization shown in Figure 8 will be responsible for decommissioning and dismantling of the reactor f acility. Per-sonnel experienced in reactor operations and in radioactive material handling will be responsible for the dismantling opera-tion. The minimum requirements for key personnel in the line organizational chart are given in the following paragraphs.
Laboratory Manager - He shall be appointed in accordance with Company policy.
Section Manager - The section managers shall have a BS degree and three years post graduate work or equivalent training in the pertinent technical field.
They are respoasible for the safe performance of projects under their purview.
Section Managers shall have demonstrated knowledge in the application of radiation and nuclear criticality safety associated with their projects.
Supervisor of Reactor Operations - The minimum qualifications for the Supervisor of Reactor Operations shall be at luast four years of reactor operating experience and has held a valid Senior Operator License for the LPR.
Years spent in baccalau-reate or graduate study may be substituted for operating ex-perience on a one-for-one basis up to a maximum of two years.
Safety Review Committee - The SRC shall be comprised of at least five technical members having expertise in chemistry, radiological safety, industrial safety and nuclear engineering.
The members shall be appointed by the Director, who shall also appoint the chairman, alternate chairman and the members who serve on the Audit Subcommittee.
The Director shall appoint a management representative to be a committee member who shall serve as the committee coordinator.
2)
The LPR Operations Supervisor shall be responsible for the safe dismantling of the LPR.
He shall be responsible for assuring that all operations are conducted in a safe manner and within the limits prescribed by the facility license, the regulations and the requirements of this decommissioning plan.
The Super-visor of Reactor Operations shall report to and be directly respcnsible to the Manager of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering.
A health physicist who is organizationally independent of the LPR operations group shall advise the Supervisor of Reactor Operations in matters concerning radiological safety.
-11a-
B.
Review and Audit
- 1) A Safety Review Committee shall review and audit reactor opera-tions and advise the Director of the Lynchburg Research Center in matters relating to the health and safety of the public and the safety of the facility operations.
- 2) The Safety Review Committee shall have at least five members of whom no more than the minority shall be from the line organi-zation shown in Figure 8.
The Committee shall be made up of senior personnel who shall collectively provide experience in reactor engineering, reactor operations, chemistry and radio-chemistry, instrumentation and control systems, radiological safety and mechanical and electrical systems.
3)
The Committee shall meet at least once every four months.
- 4) The quorum shall consist of not less than a majority of the full Committee and shall include the chairman or his designated alternate.
- 5) Minutes of each Committee meeting shall be distributed to the Director of the Lynchburg Research Center, all Safety Review Committee members and such others as the chairman may designate.
6)
The Safety Review Committee shall:
a)
Review abnormal occurrences, as defined below.
An Abnormal Occurrence is any of the tollowing:
An uncontrolled or unplanned release of radiosctive material from the restricted area of the facility.
An uncontrolled or unplanned release of radioactive material which results in concentrations of radioactive materials within the restrir.+.ed crea in excess of the limits specified in Appen-dix B, Table 1 of 10 CFR 20.
An observed inadequacy in the implementation of administrative or procedural controls such that the inadequacy causes or threatens to cause the existence or development of an unsafe condition in connection with the dismantling of the plant.
b)
Review and approve proposed Standard Operating Procedures and proposed changes to Standard Onerating Procedures.
c) Review and approve prcposed amendments to facility license and review proposed changes to the facilit t made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59(c).
d) Audit decommissioning operations and records for compliance with internal rules, procedures and regulations and with licensed provisions including the requirements of this decommis-sioning plan.
-11b-
e) Audit existing Standard Operating Procedures for adequacy and to assure that they achieve their intended purpose in light of any cranges since their implementation.
f) Audit plant equipment performance with particular attention to operating anomalies, abnornal occurrences and the steps taken to identify and correct their causes.
C.
Action co be taken in the event of an Abnormal Occurrence In the event of an abnormal occurrence as defined in this decom-missioning plan, the following action shall be taken:
1)
The Supervisor of Reactor Operations shall be notified of the occurrence.
Corrective action shall be taken to correct the abnormal conditions and to prevent its recurrence.
- 2) A report of such occurrences shall be made to the Safety Review Committee; the Manager, bbterials and Chemistry Labora-tory; the Manager, Chemical and Nuclear Engineering and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with the following section.
The report shall include an analysis of the causes of the occurrence, the effectiveness of corrective actions taken and the recommendations of measures to prevent or reduce the probability or consequences of recurrence.
D.
Non-Routine Reports
- 1) Abnormal Occurrence Reports Notification shall be made within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> by telephone and telegraph to the Director of the Region II Office of Inspec-tion and Enforcement (copy to the Director of Licensing) followed by a written report within 10 days to the Director of the Region II Office of Inspection and Enforcement in the event of the abnor-mal occurrences as defined in Section B.6)a).
The written report on these abnormal occurrences and to the extent possible, the pre-liminary telephone and telegraph
- notification shall: (a) describe, analyze and evaluate safety implications, (b) outline the measures taken to assure that the cause of the conditfons is determined, (c) indicate the corrective action (including any changes made to the quality assurance program) taken to prevent repetition of the occurrence and of similar occurrences involving similar components or systems and (d) evaluate the safety implications of the incident in light of the cumulative experience obtained from the record of previous failures and malfunctions of similar systems and components.
