DETAILS

1 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT CONTROLS (40750)

,

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's organization and staffing to determine

compliance with Technical Specification 6.0.

The organizational structure conformed to the Technical Specification

requirements. All positions were staffed. The Dean of the College of

Engineering served as the reactor administrator. A new reactor supervisor was

appointed in March 1993. There was or,e other senior reactor operator ~in

addition to the reactor supervisor.

There were no reactor operators included

as part of staff at the time of the inspection.

2 TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS (40750)

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's training program and operator

requalification program to determine compliance with the requirements of

Technical Specification 6.2 and 10 CFR Parts 19.12 and 55.59.

The inspectors verified that instructions concerning radiological hazards were

given to all individuals working in or frequenting the reactor facility that

satisfied 10 CFR 19.12 requirements. The inspectors noted that the radiation

safety office had implemented a training program for selected personnel.

Appropriate training records were maintained in the personnel files.

The new reactor supervisor met the qualification requirements of. Technical

,

Specification 6.2.

'

Technical Specification 6.3 requires that all licensed reactor operators

participate in the requalification program.

Section 4.a of the licensee's

NRC-approved reactor operator requalification program requires that an annual

written examination covering the entire area of reactor operations for the

AGN-201 reactor will be administered to all operators and senior reactor

operators by the Reactor Safety Committee. The reactor supervisor informed

the inspectors on August 3,1993, that the University was in violation of this

requirement. The inspectors reviewed records of the licensee's operator

requalification program and confirmed that the Reactor Safety Committee had

not administered tests to a senior reactor operator and two reactor operators

from November 1991 to the time of this inspection. The failure to administer

annual tests to the senior reactor operator and the reactor operators was

identified as an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.3 (284/9301-

01). This item was also identified as a violation during the previous

inspection (284/9101-01).

'

Section 4.b of the licensee's NRC-approved reactor operator requalification

program requires that a member or members of the Reactor Safety Committee

observe the operation of the reactor by each licensed operator or senior

operator at least once during each calendar year.

The inspectors determined

that members of the Reactor Safety Committee did not observe the operation of

the reactor by two senior operators and two operators during 1992. The

failure of the Reactor Safety Committee to observe reactor operators is a

second example to comply with Technical Specification 6.3 (284/9301-01).

l

10' CFR 55.21 requires that an applicant for a license have a medical

)

examination by a physician every 2 years to determine if the applicant or

i

. licensee meets the requirements of 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1). The' reactor supervisor

informed the inspectors on August 3,1993, that the University had not

complied with this requirement for all individuals. The inspectors confirmed

that one senior operator did not have a medical examination by a ~ physician

1

between April 24, 1990, and January 21, 1993. The operator was certified by a

physician on January 21, 1993, as being medically sound. The inspectors noted

that, according to the operations log, the senior operator continued to

operate the reactor after the 2-year period had expired. The inspectors noted

!

that the individual had operated the reactor on November 4, 9, and 11, 1992,_

4

and January 12, 13, and 15, 1993. The failure of the senior reactor operator

to have a medical examination was identified as an apparent violation of

10 CFR 55.21 (284/9301-02).

3 REACTOR OPERATIONS (40750)

The inspectors reviewed logs and records and observed reactor operations to

determine compliance with License Condition 2.0 and Technical Specifications 2.0 and 3.0.

.

The reactor was operated 97 hours0.00112 days <br />0.0269 hours <br />1.603836e-4 weeks <br />3.69085e-5 months <br /> in 1991 and 147 hours0.0017 days <br />0.0408 hours <br />2.430556e-4 weeks <br />5.59335e-5 months <br /> in 1992.

It was used

for reactor demonstrations and the conducting of laboratory experiments,

including sample irradiation. There were no significant maintenance or

i

operational problems; however, electronic noise in the control console did

,'

cause occasional scrams of the reactor.

,

The inspectors reviewed operation logs for the period of December 1991 through

June 1993 and determined that the reactor had not been operated at power

,'

levels in excess of 5 watts and that reactor safety limits had not been

exceeded.

Power calibration was last performed in December 1992.

4 PROCEDURES (40750)

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures for operating and

,

maintaining the reactor, conducting surveillances and calibrations, and

conducting experiments to determine compliance with the requirements of

Technical Specifications 6.5 and 6.6.

There were only two changes to the facility procedures. Operating Procedure

<

OP-1, " Reactor Operating Procedure," Revision 2, and Experiment

Procedure EP-19, " Sample Transfer by Pneumatic Tube," Revision 1, were

implemented February 17, 1993. The procedures were properly approved by the

Reactor Safety Committee, Reactor Administrator, and the Reactor Supervisor.

e

5 EXPERIMENTS (40750)

The inspectors reviewed the reactor experiment program to determine compliance

with Technical Specification 3.3.

The inspectors reviewed Experiment Procedure 21, " Automatic Reactivity Control

System," and noted that its purpose was "to maintain a constant reactor power

a

.

l

.

.

.

I

level during experiments. The system automatically compensates for reactivity

,

changes produced during experiments or by a temperature change by moving a

graphite plug located in a reflector port." The inspectors observed the drive

mechanism attached to the reactor.

Licensee representatives stated that the

device was installed and used in 1983-1984 and then removed. According to

operations log entries and Reactor Safety Committee meeting minutes, it was

i

reinstalled again in 1989. The operations log disclosed that the last two

uses of the equipment were on September 13,1991 (operating at I watt) and

November 1,1992 (operating at 0.01 watt). The inspectors determined that the

installation of the experiment equipment constituted a modification to the

reactor.

10 CFR 50.59, " Changes, Tests, and Experiments," states, in part,

that a licensee may make changes to the facility and experiments not described

in the Safety Analysis Report (Hazards Summary Report) without NRC approval,

!

unless the proposed change involves an unreviewed safety question. A proposed

change shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed safety question if a

possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any

evaluated previously in the Safety Analysis Report may be created. Records

must include a written safety evaluation which provides the basis for the

determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an

unreviewed safety question. The licensee acknowledge that a formal review had

not been conducted to de .armine if the modification resulted in an unreviewed

safety question and ther: vas no written record of a safety evaluation. The

failure to have a writte-

ord that determined if Experiment 21 involved an

unreviewed safety questit ' :s considered an apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.59

(284/9301-03).

Some of the licensee's experimer,ts involved the irradiation of samples for

researchers (Experiment 6, 7, and 19). The operations log indicated when

,

these experiments were performed. Through interviews with licensee personnel,

the inspecto~ determined that samples., in some cases, were transferred from

the reactor fa ility to other departments. Transfer records were not included

in the operations log. Examples of these transfers occurred on or shortly-

l

after the experiments were performed on March 3, May 21, and June 4, 1992.

,

The inspectors determined that records of these transfers were not available.

10 CFR 30.51, " Records," requires that each person who receives byproduct

material shall keep records showing the receipt, transfer, and disposal of the

byproduct material. The failure to keep records of byproduct material

transfers is considered an apparent violation of 10 CFR 30.51 (284/9301-04).

The inspectors further determined that the individuals receiving the

irradiated samples were not authorized by the University's NRC broad scope

license to possess and use byproduct material.

10 CFR 30.41, " Transfer of

Byproduct Material," states, in part, that no licensee shall transfer

i

byproduct material unless the licensee transferring the material has verified

that the transferee's licensee authorizes the receipt of the type, form, and

v

quantity of byproduct material to be transferred. The inspectors determined

that the licensee had not verified that the individuals receiving byproduct

material were authorized. The failure to verify that persons receiving

byproduct material were authorized to receive such material is considered an

apparent violation of 10 CFR 30.41 (284/9301-05).

6 SURVEILLANCES (40750)

The inspector reviewed records and logs regarding reactor surveillances to

-

determine compliance with Technical Specification 4.0.

The inspectors determined that all surveillance activities had been conducted

as required and noted the following had been performed since the previous

inspection:

7 RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's radiation protection program to

determine compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and Technical

Speci fications 3.4, 4.2.i . and 4.4.

The documented radiation surveys were performed by the campus radiation safety

office. These surveys included measurements of radiation levels (for neutron

and gamma) and contamination. The inspectors determined that the licensee

complied with Technical Specification 4.4.c which required annual radiation

surveys of the reactor room.

The inspectors performed independent surveys during reactor operation. The

results of the inspectors' surveys were in agreement with the licensee's. The

inspectors determined that areas were properly posted and radiation levels

outside the reactor facility were within allowable limits for an unrestricted

area.

Portable survey instrumentation was available in the reactor room, and reactor

operators were qualified in the use of the instruments. The reactor

supervisor stated that radiation surveys were performed on samples taken from

the reactor to determine radiation levels and to identify removable

contamination. liowever, no records of these surveys were kept.

Examples of

.

.

-8-

dates when samples were removed from the reactor are discussed in Section 5.

10 CFR 20.401(b), " Records of Surveys, Radiation Monitoring and Disposal,"

requires that each licensee shall maintain records of surveys required by

10 CFR 20.201(b).

The failure to maintain radiation survey results is

considered an apparent violation of 10 CFR 20.401(b) (284/9301-06).

The inspectors noted that a radiation detector used in association with

Experiment 21 was placed in the thermal column of the reactor, but not

surveyed when removed. The purpose of the survey would have been to determine

if activation products presented a radiological hazard to persons handling the

detector. According to the operations log, Experiment 21 was last performed

on November 11, 1992, when the reactor was operating at 0.01 watts. Prior to

this time, the experiment was performed on September 13, 1991, with the

reactor operating at I watt.

The reactor supervisor stated that the detector

was not immediately removed from the reactor, and it may not have been handled

until the activation products had decayed; however, he had no knowledge of

what the radiation levels were.

10 CFR 20.201(b), " Surveys," requires that

i

each licensee shall make such surveys as may be necessary for the licensee to

,

evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present. The failure to

perform surveys of irradiated material removed from the reactor is considered

an apparent violation of 10 CFR 20.201(b) (284/9301-07).

The inspectors noted that the procedure for the experiment directed that the

guidelines for Experiment 8 be followed for posting and survey requirements if

the detector "is placed in a reflector port." However, there were no

applicable instructions if the detector were placed in the thermal column

which was the " preferred location." The function of the detector remained the

same regardless of location.

Except for neutron survey instruments, the radiation detection / measurement

instruments were calibrated by the radiation safety office. Neutron survey

instruments were sent to a vendor for calibration. The inspectors determined

through a review of selected instruments that the instrument calibration

intervals had been maintained as required.

Personnel monitoring was provided to all persons working in the reactor

facili ty.

Pocket dosimeters were issued to visitors. The inspectors reviewed

radiation exposure records and determined that licensee personnel had not

exceeded 10 CFR 20.101 limits.

There were no measureable radioactive effluents as a result of the operation

of the reactor.

No radioactive material was transferred from the campus of the university.

8 PHYSICAL SECURITY / SAFEGUARDS / MATERIAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING

(81401,

81402,81431,81510,85102)

The inspectors examined the implementation of the Physical Security Plan,

[

Revision 3, dated February 23, 1990, to determine compliance with the

requirements of Section 2.C(3) of the Facility Operating License, Technical

i

Specifications 5.2 and 5.3, and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(p).

I

. . _ .

.

The inspectors verified that the site and facilities were as described in the

Physical Security Plan.

Keys to access doors were held only by persons designated in the Security

"

Plan.

The facility was patrolled by campus security, as required.

The inspectors verified that there had been no safeguards events.

{

Haterial was stored only in controlled access areas. The licensee maintained

photographs of radioactive material, including extra fuel. An inventory was

.'

performed every 6 months to ensure that all material was still in the

licensee's possession. Material balance sheets were completed as required.

'

The amount of material possessed did not exceed licensed quantities.

!

9 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS (40750)

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's emergency preparedness program to

determine compliance with Technical Specifications 6.4.3.d and 6.6.f;

Revision 4, of the approved Emergency Plan; and 10 CFR Parts 50.54(q) and (r).

,

The inspectors verified that current notification rosters were maintained by

the reactor supervisor and campus security. Radiation detection and personnel

monitoring devices were available, as described.

Emergency supplies were

maintained and inventoried as required.

'

The licensee conducted an emergency drill on August 4,1992, fulfilling the

requirement of the Emergency Plan.

10 CFR 50.54(q), " Condition of Licenses," requires that a licensee authorized

to operate a research reactor shall follow and maintain in effect emergency

plans which meet the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

Section 6

of the NRC-approved Emergency Plan, Revision 4, states that the training of

university personnel pho are responsible to act under the emergency plan is

the responsibility of the Radiation Safety Officer.

It further states that

the Radiation Safety Officer will provide a training program at least once a

t

year to train other university personnel who may be called upon to assist in

the event of a nuclear incident.

In discussions with the inspectors, the

radiation safety officer stated that he had provided training in radiation

safety but had not provided training related to individual responsibilities as

required in the Emergency Plan. The reactor superviso" stated that he

provided training for the health physics technician so.ae time during the

summer of 1993. However, no records of this training were available.

In

,

addition, the inspectors determined that the reactor administrator had not

-

received emergency training. The reactor administrator was identified in the

Emergency Plan as an individual who would be responsible to act in the event

i

of an emergency. The failure of the radiation safety officer to provide

training to the reactor administrator was identified as an apparent violation

of the approved Emergency Plan (284/9301-08).

10 00P9iITTEE MEETINGS AND MINUTES, AUDITS AND REVIEWS (40750)

The inspectors examined the licensee's audits and activities of the Reactor

Safety Committee to determine compliance with the requirements of Technical

Speci fications 6.4, 6.7, 6.C, and 6.10.2(i) .

-

The inspectors reviewed the Rea. tor Safety Committee minutes and determined

,

that the meeting frequency complied with the yearly requirement of Technical

Speci fication 6.4.1.

On August 3,1993, the reactor supervisor informed the inspectors that the

University had not complied with the provisions of Technical Specification 6.4.3.

Technical Specification 6.4.3.b requires that the licensee audit the

conformance of facility operations to the Technical Specification and

applicable license conditions at least once every 12 months. The inspectors

determined that an audit of this area was not performed between May 1990 and

January 1993. The failure of the Reactor Safety Committee to audit facility

operations is considered an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.4.3.a (284/9301-09). This item was identified as a violation

during the previous inspec;.sn (284/9101-03).

,

Technical Specification 6.4.3.c requires that the licensee audit the

performance, training, and qualifications of the entire facility staff at

least once per 24 months.

The inspectors determined that an audit of this

area was not performed between May 1990 and December 1992. The failure to

audit the performance, training, and qualifications of the facility staff is

considered an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.4.3.b

(284/9301-09). This is the second example regarding the failure to complete

audit requirements.

Technical Specification 6.4.3.e requires that the license audit the results of

all actions taken to correct deficiencies occurring in facility equipment,

structures, systems or method of operation that affect nuclear safety at least

once per calendar year. The inspectors determined that an audit of this area

was not performed during 1991 and 1992. The failure to perform corrective

action audits is considered an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.4.3.c (284/9301-09) . This is the third example regarding the

failure to perform required audits.

Technical Specification 6.4.3.e requires that the licensee audit the Facility

Security Plan and implementing procedures at least once per 24 months. The

inspectors determined that an audit of this area was not performed between

May 1990 and February 1993. The failure to audit the Security Plan and

implementing procedures is considered an apparent violation of Technical

,

'

Specification 6.4.3.e (284/9301-09) . This is the fourth example regarding the

failure to perform required audits.

The licensee arranged for a peer review of its reactor program by technical

experts from other facilities. The audit was conducted on April 7,1993. The

i

-

licensee had implemented some of the recommendations made by the peer review

,

by the time of this inspection.

.l

RECORDS, NOTIFICATIONS, AND REPORTS (40750)

'

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's submittal of reports and notifications

to NRC to determine compliance with Technical Specification 6.9.1.

i

The inspectors deterniined that the annual reports conformed to Technical

i

Specification requirements. No special reports have been required since the

previous inspection.

l

12 INDEPENDENT INSPECTION EFFORTS (40750)

j

The inspectors observed as the reactor supervisor parformed a reactor startup,

steady-state operation,.and reactor shutdown. The inspectors noted the.

operator used an approved prestnt checklist and operating procedure. During

i

steady-state operations, the inspectors performed the confirmatory radiation

surveys discussed in Saction 7.

284/9301-09.

13.4

(0 pen) Inspection Followup Item 284/9101-04:

Letters of Agreement with

Emeraency Support Oraanizations

During the previous inspection, the inspectors noted that the licensee had not

4

established letters of agreement with the local police department, fire

-l

department, and medical center and they noted that the licensee's Emergency

j

Plan contained no provisions for obtaining such agreements.

Footnote 2 of

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, states that Regulatory Guide 2.6 will be used as

,

guidance for the acceptability of research and test reactor emergency response

plan.

Section C of Regulatory Guide 2.6 endorses the requirements in

ANSI /ANS 15.16-1982, " Emergency Planning for Research Reactors," as a means

for complying with the requirements in Section 50.54 and in Appendix E to

10. CFR Part 50, " Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Protection and

,

Utilization Facilities," as related to research and test reactors, subject to

'

certain clarifications. One clarification is that the emergency plan should

describe arrangements and agreements among the licensee and the local, State,

or Federal agencies expected to respond.

ANSI /ANS 15.16 further states in Section 3.8.3 that agreements with these

-:

agencies shall be confirmed in writing where appropriate or governmental

agencies radiological emergency response plans may be referenced to the extent

that they apply to the facility.

>

At the exit meeting on December 12, 1991, licensee representatives committed

to establishing forical letters of agreement. This commitment was documented

in NRC Inspection Rep 7rt 50-284/91-01 dated January 9, 1992. Minutes of the

meeting of the Reactor Safety Committee conducted February 4,1992, stated

that the reactor admir,istrator inforned the committee that letters of

agreement will be sent cut.

The inspectors determined that letters of agreement were not obtained.

Licensee personnel initially stated that they had reconsidered their

commitment and felt that letters of agreement were not necessary and were not

' ',

required. However, at the exit meeting on August 6,1993, the reactor

administrator stated they would obtain the letters of agreement. This item

!

was identified as an apparent deviation from a commitment made to obtain

letters of agreement with offsite response organizations (284/9301-10).
