At their meeting of 31 Jan-84, the Reactor Safeguards Committee considered proposed Experiment No. 44:
" Installation and Operation of a Neutron-Activated Nitrogen-16f Source.".The. proposed experiment involved. pumping up.to 92 gallons per minute'of water from the reactor' central thimble to a 2.8 liter chamber'outside the reactor, and thcace to the reactor tank at a depth of 12 ft.
The estimated-maximum exposure rate.in an unrestricted area was 1.8 mR/h. A smaller-scale preliminary experiment, proposed for testing-purposes, resulted in an estimated maximum exposure rate of 0.12 mR/h in an unrestricted area.'
The Committee' approved the 1
preliminary experiment only, with the requirement that.
personnel could be present in the-vicinity of the N-16 source-only when the reactor was operating at power levels less than 10 kW.
Full-scale experimentation will be considered by the-Reactor Safeguards Committee at a later date. ~In their.
action, the Committee concluded that the (preliminary) experiment could.be performed without significant hazard to' the integrity of the core or to the safety of personnel..
