7. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 1( Tech. Spec. 6.7.a(7))
a. Thirty sites are monitored for environmental radiation. The parameter monitored for Georgia Tech Research Reactor (GTRR) operations is that of direct radiation from the facility and from emitted gaseous effluents (predominantly Ar-41). The location of the sites relative to the reactor are shown in Figure 1, " Environmental Monitoring Stations". The sites are predominantly around the reactor perimeter fence or down-wind from the reactor,
b. Total assays = 30 sites X 12 months X 2 assays / site = 720 assays. These data are reported in the environmental radiation surveillance table (attached). The letter M was used to designate any reading which was less than the minimum detectable limit.
c. The film badge used for environmental monitoring, which is provided by a NVLAP certified vendor, has a lower limit of detection of 10 mrem.

None of the film badges positioned around the facility showed radiation exposure, due to the reactor operations. If radiation exposure due to reactor operations were expected to occur, it would most likely be seen in film badge #1 which is positioned inside of the reactor building stack. Therefore, exposure recorded by this film badge would be directly attributable to reactor operations. Nonetheless, because of its location inside the reactor building stack, it would not be representative of environmental exposures, but rather would represent a worst case exposure.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Annual Report February 25, 1994 Page 11 Several badges indicated radiation exposure above background levels. Badges No. 2, 14 and 15 all gave higher readings in May, June and August. These badges are located on the roof of the Neely Nuclear research Center (NNRC). facility. See the attached figure. The badges were attached to metallic surfaces with duct tape. Generalized increased badge readings were also observed during the months of July and August, two unusually warm months of the year for Atlanta in 1993.

An analysis of the indicated exposures indicates:

(1) The badge (No.1) which would most probably indicate significant gaseous / particulate radioactive reloase showed only "M" minimal exposure all year.

(2) The generalized indicated exposures do not correlate with nuclear operations. See workload at bottom of Table.

(3) Communication with Dr. W. G. Vernetson (TRTR Mtg., Oct.

1993) at the University of Florida nuclear reactor indicate that they also were experiencing anomalous environmental exposuren.

Based upon our analysis, we conclude that the exposures were not correlated with reactor operations and were due to either reflective heat effects or systematic error associated with the badges or badge processing. To prevent reoccurence we 1) installed new dosimetry holders that would allow air circulation around the dosimeters, i.e. prevent reflective heating from attched surfaces, and 2) switched from film badge dosimeters to environmentally specific thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's).

The switch to TLD's will also provide a more sensitive (unit millirems versus tens of millirems) assessment plus minimize any

" heating effect" that may have caused our previous anomolous readings.

d. The highest, lowest and average levels of radiation for the sampling point with the highest average radiation exposure due  ;

to reactor operations and location of that point with respect to the site. j i

Average annual level - 27* mrem i Highest annual level - 130* mrom '

Lowest annual level - < 10 mrem.

  • There are reasons to question the validity of these numbers (see 7c above).

l

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Annual Report February 25, 1994 Page 12

e. Based upon the EPA Comply Code, the maximum cumulative radiation dose above natural background radiation which could.be received by an individual continuously present in an unrestricted area during reactor's operation would be less than the lower limits of detection (LLD), i.e. < 10 mrem.
8. Occupational Personnel Radiation Exposure:

Radiation workers of Georgia Institute of Technology are monitored through the use of film badges which are provided by a NVLAP certified vendor and have a lower limit of detection of < 10 mrem. A monthly radiation dosimetry report is issued for the personnel of the Neely Nuclear Research Reactor. All personnel dosimetry data is kept at NNRC. Summary of personnel dosimetry follows.

a. Summary of exposure for persons under 18 years of age greater than mrem -

None

b. Summary of occupational exposures greater than 500 mrem -

None '

c. Person-Rem for the Neely Nuclear Research Center - R-97.

Person-Rem = Sum of occupational workers = 0.16 rem The highest, lowest and average levels of personnel exposure due to reactor and hot cell operations:

Average annual level - 8.4 mrem Highest annual level - 40 mrem Lowest annual level - < 10 mrem.

l l Procedure 2002 - Precritical Startup Checklist and shift Supervisor Approval 5.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 5.1 Existing Flow Indicator A brass rotary sight flow indicator with 3/4" female NPT fittings manufactured by Ernst W. C. & G. Company is currently j installed in the 1" copper line. The copper line is reduced j to 3/4" for the flow indicator (see diagram). The flow 'j indicator functions by giving visual indication of flow by verifying that the vanes inside the indicator are rotating.

This indication is sufficient, but the existing indicator no longer functions.

i 5.2 Proposed Flow Indicator l The proposed flow indicator is very similar to the existing one. A brass rotary sight flew indicator with 3/4" female NPT fittings has been selected from McMaster Carr Company. The indicator has s maximum operating temperature of 200 F and maximum operating pressure of 125 psig. The operating temperature and pressure are well below these values.

l Facility Modification 93-002 Replacement of LA-D2 Pressure Switch i

1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this facility modification is to replace the-old pressure switch that provides the input for the scram from  ;

the reactor tank level (LA-D2) with a new one.

2.0 SCOPE This modification applies only to the one time replacement of the LA-D2 pressure switch.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY The responsibility for the approval of this facility modification lies with the NNRC director with the concurrence of the Nuclear Safeguards Committee. The installation of the pressure switch will be by the NNRC Staff.

4.0 REFERENCES

Procedure 2006 - Reactor Shutdown Checklist Drawing 045-50-008 - Primary Cooling Water System (D 20) 5.0 SYS'.?EM DESCRIPTION 5,1 Existing Pressure Switch The existing pressure switch was manufactured by Meletron Corp. The switch has a range of 0.75-20 psig and a proof pressure of 65 psig. The switch contacts are rated for 10 Amps at 125, volts. The switch is located next to the pipe chase and approximately 13.5 feet below the dump level of the reactor tank. The pressure switch has been a continual source-of problems and causes spurious reactor scrams for two reasons. The first is that the smallest . division for the setpoint adjustment is one psig, not. sensitive enough. The second is that the switch is not.a differential pressure switch; it is affected by the pressure of the cover ' gas system.

5.2 Proposed Pressure Switch The proposed pressure switch is manufactured by Omega Engineering. The switch is model PSW-364. It has a range of 23" to 150" of water and a proof pressure of 21.6 psig. The electrical contacts are rated for 10 amps at 125 volts. The setpoint repeatability is 1% of full scale or 1.5" of water, and will provide adequate sensitivity. The switch is a differential pressure switch, and will be connected to the cover gas system to negate the pressure supplied by the cover

gas. The proof pressure is still well above the maximum pressure the switch will be subjected to. The new switch will be located in approximately the same place, but will be a maxim u of 12 feet below the dump level of the reactor.

6.0 IMPLEMENTATION

1. Drain primary water lines around the pressure switch.
2. Mount the new switch on the wall.
3. Remove the D,0 line from the existing switch, and connect it to the high pressure side of the new switch.
4. Install a line from the cover gas t- the low pressure side of the new switch.
5. Remove the alarm contacts from the old swj tch and connect them to the new switch.
6. Check the new switch for proper function.
7. Remove the old switch from the wall.

Facility Modification 93-003 Replacement of LIA-D1 Remote Level Indication System 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this facility modification is to replace the old . remote level indication system .(LIA-D1) with a new one -

that provides readout in the control room of=the reactor tank level and input for a reactor tank level scram.

2.0 SCOPE This modification applies only to the one time replacement of the LIA-D1 remote level indication system.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY The responsibility for the approval of this facility modification lies with the NNRC director with the concurrence of the Nuclear Safeguards Committee. The installation of the pressure switch will be by the NNRC Staff.

Drawing 045-50-008 - Primary Cooling Water System (D 20)

Drawing 045-62-001 - Control Room 5.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 5.1 Existing Remote Level Indication System The existing remote level indication system consists of three instruments and associated piping and wiring. The three instruments are:

1. A Mercury Differential Pressure Transmitter (LI-DlT) manufactured by Hcneywell,
2. a pressure gauge denoted as a Pneumatic Indicating Receiver (LI-DlI) manufactured by J. P. Marsh, and
3. a Pressure Switch manuf actured by Meletron Corp (LA-D1) .

The specifications for all three instruments are attached.

9Cv w'

a 4

The pressure transmitter (LI-D1T) is connected to the Reactor Tank Level Column (LC-D1) and senses the pressure differential of the reactor tank water level and the cover gas pressure. This differential pressure is converted to an wir signal and is transmitted to the control room via air lines. In the control room this air signal is connected to the pneumatic indicator (LI-D1I) to provide a readout and to the pressure switch (LIA-D1) to provide a scram.

The current system is no longer able to maintain an acceptable accuracy, and requires excessive maintenance.

5.2 Proposed Remote Level Indicating System The proposed level indicating system will consist of two instruments, both manuf actured by Omega Engineering, and associated piping and wiring. The instruments are:

1. A Heavy Duty Industrial Differential Pressure Transmitter,
2. a Digital Panel Indicator with Excitation and Dual Alarm Relays.

The specifications for these instruments are attached.

The new pressure transmitter will be connected to the Reactor Tank Level Column in the same manner as the existing transmitter.

The differential pressure is converted into an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control room. In the control room this electrical signal will be connected to the Digital Panel Meter to provide readout and a scram signal.

The proposed system has much better accuracy than the original and will be more reliable and provide digital indication of the reactor tank level in the control room. The new system is also compatible with a proposed change to allow the reactor tank level to be viewed in the Emergency Command Center during emergencies.

6.0 IMPLEMENTATION

1. Drain primary water lines around the old pressure transmitter.
2. Remove the existing transmitter.
3. Mount the new transmitter.
4. Install the water and gas lines from Reactor Tank Level Column to the new transmitter.
5. Remove the pressure gauge and pressure switch from the control room.
6. Install the. panel meter in the control room.
7. Run wires from the new pressure transmitter to the panel meter.
8. Connect the panel meter to the scram input.
9. Calibrate the system per the manufacturer's instructions.
10. Ensure the system is functioning properly.
11. Remove air lines.
