Dear Mr. Callan:
1 Following a biannual NRC inspection of the University of Utah's AGN-201 (50-072) and TRIGA reactor (50-407),two weakness were identified by the inspection team of J. Blair Nicholas (lead inspector) and D. Blair Spitzberg. In accordance with the correspondence dated March 12, 1993, we are providing an analysis of these specified weaknesses. If corrective action is required, the description of that action and a schedule for implementation will be stated.
. Weakness 407/93 Rapid identification and prompt classification of emergency events using the licensee's measurable parameters.
Analysis: We agree that the weakness as described, exists.
CorrectiveAction: Threshold values measured by the CAM will be used to indicate reaching radiological limits at the site boundary. This should assist in classifying emergency events in a timely manner. As our emergency plan is currently under review by Dr. L. K. Cohen (NRC), we are anticipating extensive revisions which will provide an opponunity to include the classification criteria based on the facility measured parameters.
Schedule: The corrective action will be implemented no later than June 30,1993. Until NRC acceptance of a revised Emergency Plan, implementation of the corrective action will be authorized by the Reactor Supervisor after consultation with the Reactor Safety Committee.
