.rm an Pmone (904)3931429 1.4sa 64130 Reactor Trip on I.oss of Secondary Cooling Flow November 19,'1991 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II 101 Marietta Street, N.W.

Suite 2900 Atlanta, GA 30323 Attention: Stewart Ebneter Regional Administrator Re: University of Florida Training Reactor Facility License: R-56 Docket No. 5083 As per our telephone conversation of 18 November 1991 with Mr. Joe Troup, relative to a trip on partial loss of secondary coolant flow on city water, the gate valve on the city water Dow was partially closed to allow operation at a higher temperature for a surveillance.

As a result the lack of go( ' flow determination in the city water system, when attempting to throttle the system, as well as expected fluctuations in water pressure from the locM utilities, led to a secondary Dow trip at a power level slightly above the ikW power level ,

(Point of Adding Heat). All safety anu .ontrol systems functioned properly and there were no safety or radiological problems associated with the event.

Our Reactor Safety Review Subcommittee Executive Committee reviewed this event on 18 October 1991 and concurs with UFTR management evaluation and has approved restart to normal operations, These operations have proceeded with no problems. We are planning to provide a more detailed report per Section 6.6.2 of the UFTR Tech Specs which is the reason for this submission.
