1. 11JSTRUCTIONAL USE - UW-MADISON FORMAL CLASSES

\

Three Nuclear Engineering Department classes make use of the. reactor. Sixty-two stu' dents enrolled in NE 231 participated in a two-hour laboratory session introducing students to reactor behavior characteristics. Twelve-hours of reactor operating time were devoted to this session. NE 427 was offered in the fall and spring semesters and had an enrollment of thirty. Several NE 427 experiments use' materials that are activated in the reactor. One experiment entitled " Radiation Survey" requires that students make measurements of radiation levels in and around the reactor laboratory. The irradiat}cns In' support of NE 427 and the radiation survey take place (during normal isotope production runs, so no reactor time is specifically devoted to NE 427. The enrollment in NE 428 was seventeen, as it was offered in both semesters. Threes experimen'ts i,n NE 428 require exclusive use of the reacter. Each of these experiments (" Critical Experiment",

" Control Element Calibration", and " Pulsing") was repeated four times during the year requiring aNtotal of seventy-eight hours of exclusive reactor use. Other'NE'428. laboratory sessions use material that has been irradiated in the reactor (" Fast Neutron Flux Measurements by Threshold Foil Techniques" and " Resonance Absorption"). These two experiments were repeated eight times during the year.- Individual one- to two-hour sessions in the reactor laboratory were also held for other departments on campus.

3. UTILITY PERSONNEL TRAINING Two groups (15 trainees) of STA candidates from Wisconsin Public Service Corporation attended our two-week Research Reactor Training Program. This program gives operating practice while it reinforces previous training in reactor physics and operation and gives laboratory experience in health physics and instrumentation.
4. SAMPLE IRRADIATIONS AND NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS SERVICES There were 4,048 samples (2081 separate irradiations)

Irradiated during the year. There were 2,290 samples which received short (15 minutes or less) Irradiations. Other samples accumulated 696.88 irradiation space hours and 18,486.7 sample hours. Most of the samples were irradiated and subsequently counted at the laboratory as part of our neutron activation analysis service. In the listing below, the notation (NAA) indicates that the sunples esere processed by our neutron activation analysis servige. .

5. CHANGES IN PERS0bNEL', FACILITY, AND PROCEDURES Changes reportable under 18 CFR 59.59 are indicated in Section E of this report.

Licensed operator, Jeffrey Franzen, completed his degree requirements and left for other employment during the year.

Five individuals are currently enrolled in an operator training program.

As part of an attempt to reduce the, number of spurious reactor scrams a modification of 19M1, the fuel temperature indicator, was performed. The instrument is a LFE Compak IV, Mark I Controller. Communication with the manufacturer indicated that other users of this device had experienced similar spurious operation due to sensitivity to power.line noise and RF pickup from nearby sources, including security force radio operation. The manuf acturer suggested a replaceme'nt meter Sich did not have the problem (due to a slower response time). Is 'as also noted that the currently manuf actured uni ts of the meter 9mpak IV, Mark II) had additional filtering of comparator inputs. The RSC approved

UWNR Annual R3 port 7 modification of the installed devices to match the Mark II circuits and replacement of the device with the unit suggested by the manufacturer should the modification not prove acceptable. The modifications were made, and a considerable reduction in number of spurious scrams was observed. Further operating experience with the modified instruments is desired before a final decision on replacement of the unit is made.

6. RESULTS OF SURVEILLANCE TESTS Surveillance tests and inspections during the year revealed no safety-related defects.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWNS AND INADVERTENT SCRAMS There were no shutdowns initiated for emergency reasons during the year. There were 18 inadvertent scrams distributed as indicated below:

2/18/84--Trainee downranged #1 pA while at too high a reading.

2/10/84--Trainee failed to uprange #2 pA in a timely fashion.

2/13/84--Trainee failed to uprange #2 pA in a timely

2/16/84--Trainee turned #2 pA range in wrong direction.

2/24/04--Trainee dropped transient control rod by pressing " air" button when intending to press "out" button in order to withdraw transient rod.

2/24/84--Trainee turned #1 range switch in wrong direction.

6/6/84--Trainee turned #2 pA range switch in wrong direction.

11/11/83--Relay scram from fuel temperature meter, with indication of intermittent open thermocouple indication.

Note See Section A5 for a description of corrective actions

performed during the annual maintenance shutdown.

2/28/84--Relay scram concurrent with switching control element manual rundown switch to rundown position. No instrument response observed to indicate origin of scram and would not repeat l response.

3/20/84--Relay scram concurrent w.th control blade raise / lower switch operation. No instrument response observed, although two operators were observing console at the time of occurrence.

l These last two scrams are included under fuel temperature scrams even though it is not known that the fuel temperature scram was involved, since previous non-annunciated scrams seem to have originated in this channel. It should be noted that the frequency of such scrams decreased greatly since the .

Instrument was modified.

1 Scram Due To Loss of AC Power Source 5/29/84--Relay scram upon complete loss of AC power to the building due to external distribution problem.

D. HAINTENANCE Normal preventive maintenance kept equipment in good operating condition. See Section A.5 for modifications and Section E for any changes reportable under 10 CFR 59.59.

1. Solid Waste No waste was transferred offsite during the year.
2. Liquid Waste There were two liquid waste discharges during the year. The concentrations at discharge were below MPC levels without considering dilution by the sewage discharge flow. Table 1 details the discharges to the sawer system.
3. Particulate and Gaseous Activity Released to the Atmosphere Table 2 presents information on stack discharges during the year.

SUMMARY

OF RADIATION EXPOSURES (1 JULY 1983 - 30 JUNE 1984)

No excessive exposure of personnel to radiation j

( occurred during the year. The highest exposure for any employee l was 120 mrem whole body and 120 mrem skin which may be compared to the f ederall y permi ssibl e dose of 5,000 mrem per year. The highest annual dose for any student was 40 mrem whole body and 40 mrem skin.

Routine radiation and contamination surveys of the facility revealed no areas of high exposure rates or high contamination levels due to operation of the facility. l H. RESULTS OF ENVIR0ttiENTAL SURVEYS The environmental monitoring program at Wisconsin i consists of thermoluminescent dosimeters (LIF TLD service from Eberline) located in areas surrounding the reactor laboratory.
