SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. R-127 MEMPHIS STATE UNIVERSITY DOCKET NO. 50-538

Background

On March 15, 1985, Memphis State University (MSU) submitted an application, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, for a change of status from operating to possession-only for their 0.1 W AGN-201 Research and Training Reactor.

The application included descriptians of current status and proposed facility modifications, revised t2chnical specifications compatible with the possession-only status and a safety analysis of the facility modifications.

Facility Status All fuel discs, including the small fuel discs inside the control rod fuel capsules, will be removed from the reactor in the presence of an NRC licensed Senior Operator and the MSU Radiation Safety Officer. The fuel discs will be placed into their original shipping / storage containers, sealed and stored in room 010 of the facility with area radiation monitors and alarms remaining operational. Less than 200 grams of U-235 will be stored in any one container to preclude criticality. The 10 mg radium-beryllium sealed neutron source will be removed from the reactor, placed into a shield container and stored in a shipping container in the reactor room. The aluminum core tank and control rod assemblies will be removed from the reactor and stored with covers and I

gaskets in place in the reactor room.

The reactor configuration during the possession-only status will be as follows:

the thermal column tank, access port liner tubes, glory hole liner

. tube, control rod cover plate, graphite reflector cylinder, lead shielding, j

access port filler pluas and neutron detectors with interconnecting instrument cables will remain installed. The control rod cover plate will have a gasket to keep the reactor vessel sealed. The power cable to the reactor console control power circuits will be disconnected and removed. The radiation nonitor and alarm in the reactor room will remain operational.

i e O[r-W P

P

. The shield tank and thermal column tank water will be sampled for radioactivity and drained according to apornved precedures in the MSU AGN-201 Maintenance and Storage Manual.

Prior to storepp, the reactor vessel intertor including the core tank and fuel capsules will be thorouchly surveyed for residual radioactivity and loosa surfree contamination.

Surface contamination in excess of acceptable concentrations will be clearly identified and documented for future reference. The reactor rnon and control room will remain locked at all times when authorized personnel are not present.

The technical speci#icetiens and the administrative organization will be modified to reflect the possession-only status. Technicel specifications addressing performance, safety, surveillance and reporting related to reactor operation will be deleted. Technical specifications addressing fuel storace, monitoring and surveillance, staff and public safety, and related reporting requirements will be retained.

Evaluation Fuel removal will be supervised and will conform with the defueling precedures approved by both the Reactor Safety Committee and the Radiation Safety Subcommittee of MSH. The fuel storage scheme provides for prevention of criticality, roectivity changes and radioactivity releases.

Removal of fuel and rod control assemblies assures that the reactor and centrol systems cannot be operated.

Removal of all liouids from the shield tank and thermal column tank will minimize long-term corrosion of tie reactor structures. As fuel is still on site, the area radiation monitors and alarms will renain operational in the reactor room and in the 'uel storage area.

Radiatier surveys will identify surface contamination levels that are greater than acceptable for unrestricted access end such areas will be properly documented and rcsted.

Restoration of the reactor vessel, core tank ano fuel capsules to their designed liquid-tipht integrity will assure contair.nent of any trace residual radioactivity. Physical barriers housing these components will not be open 'cr urrestricted access and shall remain locked at any time authorized personnel are not present. The revised technical specifications reflect the ressessinn-only status of the reactor facility and will continue to assure the health and safety of the reactor staff and the public.

Envirnerental Consideration This amendment involves changes in the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes in irspection and surveillance requirements. The staff has

. determined that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration (as discussed belowl, there is no significant change in the types or signifi-cant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categ)orical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.?2(c)(9).

Pursuant to 10 CFP, 51.FP(b, no environmental inpact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this ercrdnent.

Conclusion Accordingly, the staff concludes that amendnent o# this license to a possession-only status is appropriate. We have further concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:

(1) because the amendment does not involve a sianificant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously evaluated, does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, and does not involve a significant reduction in a safety maroin, the amendment does notinvolve.asignificanthazardsconsideration,(2)thereisreasonable assurance that the hea1th and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed activities, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or the the health and safety of the public.
