L Summary
[
During this reporting period the nuclear reactor at the University of
[
Missouri-Rolla was in operation about 425 hours0.00492 days <br />0.118 hours <br />7.027116e-4 weeks <br />1.617125e-4 months <br />.
The major part of this
{
time, 84%, was used for class instruction and training purposes. About 6% of the reactor time was used for research and irradiation and about
(
10% was needed for the maintenance runs.
[
There were 30 UMR students enrolled for courses at the Reactor Facility.
The facility was thus committed to over 48 student-hours of classes during i
the fall, sunner, and spring semesters.
The reactor was visited by 2,969 visitors during the past year.
This is an increase of 36% when compared to
(
the last reporting period.
An educational program was established for students and their instructors from colleges and universities which do not own a nuclear reactor. The
(
Reactor Facility is reimbursed for this program from the Reactor Sharing
{
Program funded by the Department of Energy.
There wereabout 101 participants in this program.
{
The reactor produced approximately 6.3 MW-hrs of energy using,0.325 g of
(
U-235. A total of 387 samples were irradiated during this reporting period with must of them being used and analyzed at the reactor facility.
Further-more, three research projects for material irradiation and neutron activation analysis were established for on-campus investigators. The reactor staff
{
was heavily involved in the process of the license renewal for the facility.
(
Research activities at the reactor concentrated on the neutron flux evaluation at different irradiation positions and on further improvements in the trace f
11
L element analysis.
Two papers on the facility uses and on-going programs were presented at an International Meeting in Cambridge, Mass.

Introduction
[
This progress report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of
[
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 10 CFR 50.71 concerning the operation
{
of the University of Missouri - Rolla Nuclear Reactor Facility flicense R-79).
The reactor, a swimming pool-type, modified BSR, was first licensed as a
{
10 kW training and research facility with initial criticality on December 9, 1961.
In January 1967 an amendment was granted by the Nuclear Regula-tory Commission to upgrade the facility, allowing an increase in power level to 200 kW.
The Nuclear Reactor Facility is operated as a university facility available to the faculty and students of the various departments of the university for their educational and research programs. Several other universities and colleges have made use of the facility during this reporting period.
The
{
facility is also made available for the purpose of training reactor personnel for the nuclear industry and electric utilities.
{
The reactor staff has continued to review the operation of the reactor
(
facility in an effort to improve the safety and efficiency of its operation and to provide conditions conducive to its utilization by students and faculty from this and other universities. The following sections of this report are intended to provide a brief description of the various aspects
('
of the operation of this facility, including its utilization for education
(
and research.

Core Data During this reporting period only one core designation has been used.
[
The "W" mode core was used for normal reactor operations, since
{
students are not supposed to operate the reactor when the excess reactivity is above 0.7%.
The "T" mode is used for extended operation (>3 hrs), or
[
beam port or thermal column experiments. The excess reactivity was measured for cold, clean critical conditions.
In day-to-day operation
[-
the excess reactivity is quite often lower due to the temperature increase of the pool.

Public Relations The reactor staff continues to put forth considerable effort to help educate the public about the application of nuclear energy.
Over 2,969 persons have toured the facility during this repqrt period.
This is an b
increase of 36% when compared to the last re' orting period. Tours in-p cluded groups representing social, military, civic, industrial, govern-mental and educational fields. These groups are usually given a brief
{
orientation lecture by a member of the reactor staff. These lectures are augmented by visual aids such as slides and displays. Many high h
school, junior college and college groups have attended the various lectures and open houses.
Some other groups have spent an entire day at the facility becoming ac-
~
quainted with the reactor and performing simple experiments.
Usually these groups are from colleges which have no reactor facilities. A guided tour
[
by the reactor staff includes a brief description of the basic nuclear
{
reactions, components of a nuclear reactor, a few specific example,s of how nuclear energy is used in the industrial and educational fields and how h
nuclear energy helps the environmental situation.
[
Posters to display for the public capabilities and uses of the UMRR have been made and installed in the reactor bay area. Two staff members par-b ticipated in the International Symposium on the Use and Development of Low and Medium Flux Research Reactors presenting two papers about the facility's
[
achievement: and programs.
[
The Nuclear Engineering faculty are members of various social civic,
[
[.
professional, and governmental committees.
The faculty and students also are involved in speaking engagements. around Missouri concerning the reactor facility and in informational programs at high schools and colleges.

m IL VIII. Reactor Health Physics Activities The Health Physics activities at the UMR Reactor Facility consist pri-
[
marily of radiation and contamination surveys, monitoring of personnel exposures, airborne activity, pool water activicy and waste disposal.
{
Releases of all by-product material to authorized, licensed recipients
[
are surveyed and recorded.
In addition, health physics activities include calibrations of portable and stationary radiation detection instruments, personnel training, special surveys and monitoring of non-routine procedures.
[
Routine Surveys Monthly radiation surveys of the facility consist of direct gama and
[
neutron measurements with the reactor at power.
No unusual exposure rates were found. Monthly surface contamination surveys consist of 20 to 30
{
swipes counted separately for alpha, beta and gamma activity.
In 12 monthly
[
surveys, no significant contamination outside of contained work areas was found.
[.
By-Product Material Release Surveys During the period, 2 shipments of by-product material were surveyed and released from the reactor facility. Total activity released was 0.581 mci.
[
The shipments were utilized on the UMR Campus.
[
Routine Monitoring
[
Twenty-three reactor facility personnel and students frequently involved
{
with operations in the reactor facility are currently assigned beta-gamma, neutron film badges which are read twice each month. There are 4 beta-(
gamma, neutron area badges assigned and one test badge to check accuracy of exposure reports.
Fourteen campus personnel and students.
r L
are assigned beta-gamma film badges, and frequently TLD ring badges for FL materials and X-ray work on campus.
There are 13 beta-gama area and spare badges assigned on campus.
In addition, 7 direct-reading dosimeters are used
[
for visitors and high radiation area work.
There have been no personnel
{
over exposures during the period.
Airborne activity in the reactor facility is constantly monitored by a
(
fixed-filter, particulate continuous air monitor (CAM) located in the reactor bay.
Rb-88 and Cs-138 are the particulate daughters of Kr-88 and Xe-138 b
which are particulate activity monitored above the natural background of radon daughter products.
Argon-41, Krypton-88 and Xenon-138 are the gaseous activity routinely
[
detected during operations.
Pool water activity is monitored monthly to insure that no gross pool contamination nor fuel cladding rupture has occurred.
Gross counts and spectra of long-lived gamma activity are compared to previous monthly counts.
From April through March sample concentrations averaged
-6
{
2.73x10 uCi/ml.
Waste Disposal Release of gaseous and particulate activity through the building exhausts
[
is determined by relating the operating times of the exhaust fans and reactor power during fan operation to previously measured air activity at maximum reactor power. During this period 6.07 millicuries were released into the air.
Released isotopes were identified as
.-88, Rb-88, Xe-138,
[
Cs-138 and Ar-41. Solid waste, including used water filters, used resins
{
and contaminated paper is stored and/or transferred to the campus waste storage area for later shipment to a commercial burial site.
Radioactive h
waste released to the sanitary sewer is primarily from regeneration of the resin exchange column. During this period 11 releases to the sanitary I
sewer totaling approximately 8,985 gallons of concentrated resin regen-eration solution and pool water were discharged with a total activity of 0.581 millicuries.
Isotopes released were: Hydrogen-3, Sodium-24, Cr-51, Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, La-140, and Ba-140. All isotopes released were below 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table I, Column 2 limits.
{
g Instrument Calibrations During this period, portable instruments were calibrated four times.
Remote
{
area monitors were checked for calibration four times.

IX. Plans
[
Presuming that the re-licensing process, which is presently underway, will E
be completed and that continued operation of the reactor will be approved by the U.S. NRC the reactor management would like to spend a lot more time
{
3 and effort upgrading the facility's research capability. Although extra
[
efforts have been made to inform academic department chairmen and research center directors of the current availability of the reactor and the various
[
associated counting systems, we have not generated very much research activ-ity. We also try to inform the individual faculty members / researchers, who we believe might be doing research that could utilize the UMR Reactor, that
[
we would be pleased to cooperate with them.
{
In particular, it would enhance the neutron activation analysis capability of the UMR Reactor Facility if the present pneumatic transfer. system were
[
to be modified so that samples could be transferred directly from the core to the Ge(Li) detector. Likewise, it would be beneficial to have an auto-matic sample handling system so that a large number of samples (say at least 24 of them) could be inserted into the Ge(Li) detector and counted. We would also like to develop prompt neutron activation analysis capabilities.
[
The hardware necessary for the suggested improvements would be requested on research proposals prepared by the reactor staff or in cooperation with other researchers.
(
Last year we indicated that we had submitted a proposal to the U.S. Depart-ment of Energy for support in the University Reactor Sharing Program. We were selected for $9000 financial support. To date four separate groups from Linn Technical Institute have come to campus for a day each.
The University of Arkansas will send 10 graduate students for two days in April.
[ (.
L F
L Other schools are expected to use the reactor for education or research f~
L before the end of the contract in August. We hope to be selected for an extension of that program.
Last year's plan to have at least three licensed senior operators has been accomplished. The two current reactor operators are planning to take the senior operator's examination early this coming reporting period. Two Electrical Engineering students, who served as operators in U.S. Navy nu-
{
clear submarines and who have satisfactorily completed our student reactor operator training program, have expressed an interest in taking the NRC
[
reactor operator's examination.
If all of these individuals pass their examinations, we would be very well staffed next year.
In terms of modifications to the facility which are planned, they include several which have been mentioned in prior Progress Reports. We do plan to install the new solid-state magnet power supply and solid-state power
[
range (safety) channels that were p$hased several years ago and not in-
{
stalled bec.ause we were in the midst of re-licensing. The Technical Specifications and Final Safety Analysis Report will incorporate descrip-(
tions of the new systems. Without a doubt, the solid-state devices should be more reliable than the present vacuum tube ones, which were original
[
equipment.
b Following discussions with the NRC licensing representatives, we feel that pursuit of operating with a nixed core of MTR-type and TRIGA-type fuel is insurmountable. A complete conversion to TRIGA fuel apparently would in-
{
volve a complete relicensing of the facility, including the construction permit stage. Thus, we have decided not to attempt such a changCpver of
(
fuel.

Dr. Albert Bolen

Reactor Director University of Missouri-Rolla Nuclear Engineering, Building C Rolla, Missouri 65401
Dear Dr. Bolon:
On Tuesday, January 10, 1984, Barry Bezenek and I conducted a Reactor Facility Inspection of the UMR-Reactor. This inspection concentrated on just a few of the areas given in your inspection form. The detailed comments from the inspection are primarily contained in this letter with the inspection form attached indicating both the few areas reviewed in detail and those briefly scanned.
b The Operator Requalification Program records were reviewcd in detail.
Im-provements should be made in the documenting of Nuclear Instrumentation checks, review of changes to Standard Operating Procedures, and Abnormal and Emergency
{
procedure reviews. One page of the 1982 requalification documentation for an operator was missing.
UMRR may want to consider removing the completed requali-fication sheets at the end of each year, instead of leaving them mixed in with the new working documents. This may reduce the potential of them being acciden-
[
tally lost.
The Health Physics records were reviewed in detail and were found to be
[
well maintained. However, two changes to current practices are recommended.
Radiation and swipe surveys should be conducted in the upstairs of fices. This could be performed infrequently but should be done since these areas are manned
{
during reactor operations, and personnel eat and drink in the offices.
Secondly, you may want to consider revising the method of calculating the monthly air release.
Your current method makes the amount of Ar-41 released
[-
heavily dependent on which fan is in operation. The difference in flow rate between the fans should primarily affect the equilibrium concentration value in the building and only slightly affect the release rate. The lower the flow rate
{
the slightly less Ar-41 is released due to the longer holdup time allowing more to decay before being released.

Dr. Albert Bolon February 24, 1984 Page 3 The console logs, Startup Checkout sheets, and Shutdown Checkout sheets were reviewed in detail. The log Dook accuracy had made good. improvement compared to
[
that observed in December 1982 audit. The following recommandations are based on this part of the review.
a) On July 13, 1983, a Startup Checkout sheet was not used for a startup
{
immediately following a shutdown in which the Shutdown Checkout sheet was completed. This is allowed by S0P 102 due to the phase "...
unless otherwise specified by the Senior Operator on duty." You may want to more clearly define the Senior Operator's discretion in this situation; i.e. require him to do at least the steps that return equipment to operation that were secured while completing the Shut-
{
down Checkout sheet.
b) Suggest it would be beneficial to log when a control rod is removed and when it is reinstalled during the inspection of control rods.
c)
It was noted a Startup Checkout sheet was completed by procedure prior to raising the control rod to 50% for refueling during the control rod
[
inspection procedure, but was not done prior to raising the rods for refueling. This looks inconsistent in our superficial review but may be quite justifiable if reviewed in detail, therefore this observation
{
is stated for your consideration.
d) The UMRR staff should evaluate how they will document their decisions to operate with instrumentation / equipment inoperable, i.e. Rod Magnet
[
Contact Indication, Rod Prohibit, etc.
e) Recommend any time a safety system component is discovered inoperable
{
that the reactor be immediately shutdown then try to correct the problem.
f) Recommend modification reviews be completed on any change to a reactor
[
related system prior to making the change, such as the antisiphon change to the pool system.
[
We found the operations being conducted in a satisfactory manner with no sig-nificant problem areas identified.

t chir.bility of records, house-keenin,

- hese have been discussed with coriate staff r. embers.
Is
- 1) Ls.tely there hr.ve been r.cre than the usual "snu-icus" rundcwns and/cr scrams.
Remedial measures are in progress end $t may vary will be that the su.mer maintenance pre rar wi23 tske cr.re of the treblem.
I trink thet in the fall special attention shculd be q$ven as to whether they still occur.
I don't see that they, in sny wey, endenzer the safe cper' tion of the reactor but t'ey are e nuisence.
(2) The semi-stnual che ck and ecert we s started Jan. 10, 1993 but at thi s date (L'ay 16, 1983) has net'been ccerleted.
This needs to reviewed in the Fall 19E3 independent eudit.

Purpose:
The purpose of the check list is to give definite assurance that all systems are operating correctly. A complete checkout of the reactor will be required, utilizing [ the current startup checkout form, any time the reactor is to be started up from a complete shutdown, that is if a shutdown check list has been completed, unless otherwise { specified by the Senior Operator on Duty. B. Precautions, Prerequisites, or Limitations: 1. It shall be the responsibility of the licensed operator checking the reactor out to make sure that all steps in the checkout list have been properly completed. In { the event a student checks out the reactor as part of his or her training, the licensed operator must still accept the [ responsibility. The operator may assign various steps to be L completed by unlicensed personnel, in which
- case, the responsibility still lies with the operator performing or supervising the checkout.
2. Immediately before the reactor is started up a startup check list must be completed. 3. After each step on the check list is completed the operator will record the readings made, or in cases where no readings are
- required, will simply check the appropriate
[ blank on the form. 4. Any malfunctioning or abnormality of the reactor or { components shall be immediately reported to the Senior Operator on Duty, and corrected before continuing with the checkout form. 5. After the check list is completed the Senior Operator on Duty must give final approval of the check li.st by initia11ing the completed form. ft u jg v e % uo ~ APP M ED BY: WR.tTTEN BY: Karen Lane . g g Albert Bolon [ ~

Purpose To insure a safe and consistent method for starting up the ~ reactor from a clean or high residual condition. The reactor will be considered clean if shutdown for more than 52 hours. The reactor will also be considered clean if power levels within the past 52 hours have not exceeded 1 20kW for 1.0 hour or it's equivalence. B. Precautions, Prerequisites, Limitations I 1. SOP 102 shall have been completed and approved by the SRO on Duty prior to commencing reactor startup. 2. The SRO on Duty shall remain in the control room (audible and visual contact with console operator) during startup, power-change and shutdown of the reactor. 3. There will be at least two, but no more than nine people in the control room during reactor startup, power change or shutdown. r-4. When the reactor is in a stable condition there shall be no more than nine people in the control room at any time. One of I these individuals shall hold a valid Operators license or Senior license. 5. The console operator (licensed RO or student under supervision of SRO) shall control all reactivity changes to the reactor by direct manipulation of the controls or by directing the ma-nipulation of experiments being conducted at the facility. 6. Only a licensed Senior Reactor Operator may terminate the I action of automatic reactor controls. If a scram, rundown or rod withdraw 11 prohibit occurs with a licensed Operator or student at the control, the permission to terminate the automatic control or a restart of the reactor can only be authorized by a licensed Senior Reactor Operator. 7.

Purpose I The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidance for calculating the radioactivity and reactivity before irradiating samples in or near the core. I B. Precautions. Prerequisites, or Limitations I Samples may come out of the reactor with very high radiation levels due to their composition and/or encapsulation. They may also have an adverse reactivity effect on the reactor. This could lead to a violation of I reactivity limits and/or the initiation of a reactor shutdown. For this reason calculations must be performed to evaluate the reactivity effects as well as the activity levels of every sample or group of samples prior to irradiation (SOP 702). i C.
