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