SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-188/97-01

j' Dear Dr. Jones:

l

An NRC inspection was conducted April 7-11,1997, at your TRIGA Mark-ll reactor facility.

l' The enclosed report presen a the scope and results of that inspection.

l

,

! In general, your reactor program was implemented safely and properly. Exceptions

reviewed during the inspection were three violations of Technical Specifications involving a

missed semi-annual verification of shim rod and regulation rod drop times, a failure to

i monitor reactor pool surface radiation during reactor operation, and a case where positive

l control of the reactor key by a licensed operator was not maintained. These violations

were, however, identified by you and appropriate corrective actions taken.

l

! in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter,

l its enclosure (s) will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room,

i

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you,

i Sincerely,

l
