SECTION I. CHANGES TO THE DESIGN, CHARACTERISTICS, AND PROCEDURES:

RESULTS OF SURVEILLANCE TESTING.

A. There were no changes to the design or characteristics as given in the facility SAR during this reporting period. New Facility Operating Procedures were reviewed and placed in effect (6 Nov). A copy is enclosed as attachment 1. A revised Physical Security Plan was submitted (30 April) and approved (28 June). A renewal of the interagency agreement with DOE to retain possession of the reactor TRIGA fuel until 30 Sep 1989 was completed, enclosed as attachment 2.

B. All surveillance items were accomplished on time.

Halfunctions discovered are included in Section IV.

SECTION II. ENERGY GENERATED ON CURRENT CORE Nonth Evh Jan 8978.1 Feb 5339.7 March 6198.3 April 5734.7 May 7817.1 June 4152.2 i July 4795.6 Aug 1867.4 Sept 2255.6

Oct 7615.6 Nov 3706.9 Dec 4313.4 Tozal power this year 62664.6 Kvh Total power on this core: 549122 Evh I Total pulses this year greater than $2.00: 203 (calender year)

_ Total pulses greater than $2.00: 3759 i SECTION III. UNSJHEDULED SHUTDOWNS There were no unscheduled shutdowns in this reporting period.

Unscheduled maintenance is listed in Section IV.

SECTION IV. SAFETY CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE The following are malfunctions that occurred to reactor equipment during this reporting period. The reason for the corrective action

l l

i taken, in all cases, was to return the failed unit to its proper operational status, l

23 Jan 1985 During the daily shutdown it was noted that the ,

purification pump had tripped. The problem was found i to be a broken wire in the junction box attached to the pump. The wire was repaired; the pump tested and returned to service.

21 May 1985 During a run the reg rod would not withdraw past

' 15.7 percent. The barrel and gears were cleaned, i and the unit was returned to service.

13 June 1985 During a run the reg drive began sticking at several locations, both in traveling up and down. The drive was removed for maintenance.

19 June 1985 The reg rod drive was reinstalled after replacing several gears. The drive system was cleaned and lubricated. The rod was chocked out and found to be functioning properly.

19 Aug 1985 The automatic mode failed and cycled down during a lovlevel run. The operator switched to manual and completed the run. A check of the system found nothing amiss; system was considered operational.

11 Oct 1985 Auto mode malfunctioned during a K excess measurement in that it consistently ran the reg drive'down. Relay E-3 was replaced; the auto mode was tested and found to be operational.

18 Dec 1985 The transient rod drive air. hose was found to be leaking air. Upon replacing the hose the screw assembly mechanical stop was found to be rubbing against the barrel. The screws were found to be loose; when tightened one sheared off. Both were replaced; I the drive was tested and found to_be operational.

SECTION V. FACILITY CHANGES There were no changes to the reactor facility this period; however, the military construction project aimed at upgrading

! AFRRI's heating and air conditioning as well as power distribution was begun. It is anticipated that the beginning of the reactor portion vill begin in calendar year 1986.

l l SECTION VI. SUNNARY OF SAFETY EVALUATION CHANGES NOT SUBNITTED TO NRC PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 50.59 There were no changes, new tests, or experiments during this period.

i

SECTION VII.

SUMMARY

OF RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS RELEASED A. Liquid vaste - The estimated average release on a quarterly basis is less than 25% of the allowabic amounts under 10 CFR 20 app B.

E. Gaseous vaste - There were no particulate discharges in CY 1985. The total argon-41 discharged in CY 1985 was 22.26 Ci.

C. Solid Waste -

All solid material was transferred to the AFRRI byproduct license; none was disposed of under R-84.

SECTION VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOLOGICAL SURVEYS A. The environmental sampling of soil, water, and plant growth had radionuclides levels that were not demonstrably above the normal range. The radionuclides that were found were those normally expected from natural backround and from long-term fallout.

B. The environmental monitoring (dosimetry) program had the following results for CY 1985:

1. The average backround was determined to be 90.76

+/- 8.16 mrem.

2. The average reading from near plant stations above background was determined to be -1.43

+/- 1.04 mrem.

3. The single highest station reading was 7.3

+/- 19.75 mrem above backround.

t

4. The above results are expressed at a 95%

l confidence level.

C. The in-plant surveys, including analysis of effluent filters, showed no measurable activity (except in VII above) in all areas outside the normal restricted-access areas.

D. There were no special environmental studies conducted this year.

SECTION IX. EXPOSURES GREATER THAN 25% OF 10 CFR 20 LIMITS There were no exposures to staff or visitors greater than 25% of 10 CFR 20 limits.

(1) DOE, upon delivery to Agency of U 233, or uranium enriched in the isotope 233 subject to this Agreement, may direct that such U-233 or uranium enriched in the isotope 233 not be blended with other uranium.

(2)!n the case of blendmg of normal, depleted or enriched uranium subject to this Agreement with pnvately owned uranium other than U-233 or uranium enriched in the isotope 233:

(A)If, within one-hundred twenty (120) days from the date of completion of the blending, DOE receives the written agreement of all such parties thereto, and 1.The assay (weight percent U-235) of the Mended product is higher than that of the DOE-furmshed material used in blending, (a) DOE shall debit Agency's account with the value of such portion of Agency's share of the blended product as does not exceed the value of DOE furnished material used in the Wending;(b) full custody to and responsibility for the blended product so debited to Agency's account shall be deemed to be transferred to DOE; and (c) Agency shall pay to DOE the amount, if any, by which the value of the credited material exceeds the value of the debited material, or 2.The assay (weight percent U-235) of the blended product'is lower than that of the DOE fumished material used in the blend, (a) DOE shall debit Agency's account with the value of such portion of Agency's share of the blended product as has a feed component which does not exceed the feed component (assuming uranium having an assay of 0.711 weight percent U-235 was used as a feed material) of Agency's DOE-furnished material used in the blending and credit Agency's account with the value of Agency's DOE furnished material used in the blending; (b) full custody to and responsibility for the blended product so debited to Agency's account shall be deemed to have been transferred to DOE; and (c)

Agency shall pay to DOE the amount, if any, by which the value of the credited material exceeds the value of the debited material.

(B)If such written agreement has not been so received by DOE, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by DOE, lessees and owners of privately owned uranium,

1. Agency shall be deemed to have acquired the material on its Agency account that was used in the blending and shall pay DOE for the value of this matenal so acquired, and

2. Full custody to and responsibility for such material shall be deemed to have transferred from DOE to Agency upon payment to DOE of the amount due.

(3)ln the case of blending of uranium subject to this Agreement with privately owned U 233 or l uranium enriched in the isotope 233, Agency agrees either (A) to secure DOE's written agreement in advance as to the terms and conditions under which such material may be bier and or (B) to accept as conclusive and binding DOE's determination in writing as to the consetuences of any such blending including the disposition of any blended product and amounts due DOE and Agency.

(4) As used in subparagraph e. (2) the term "value" refers to value as of the date of completion of the blending. The feed ecmponents speci5ed in subparagraph e. (2) (A) 2. shall be derived from the established DOE standard table of enriching services published from time to time by DOE in the Federal Register as in effect as of the date of completion of blending.

(5)lt is hereby agreed that Agency shall be responsible for handhng any claims of third parties on account of rights alleged in or in connection with the source material or special nuclear material used in blending.

(1) Agency shall maintain and make available to DOE for examination, upon reasonable notice, complete and adequate records pertaming to its receipt, possession, use, loca. tion, movement, and physical inventories of material subject to this Agreement. Such records shall fully reflect physical measurements, consumption, actual inventories, and the transactions relating thereto. Agency will l

5 submit such transfer documents and reports reflecting quantities of material received, physically 3 present, consumed and transferred, with respect to material subject to this Agreement as DOE may prescribe. Agency mil make at least one physical inventory of material subject to this Agreement and in the custody of Agency during 12 months' period of the Agreement and willinsure that such inventories are also made of material subject to this Agreement but in the custody of others.

Agency shall permit DOE to perfcrm such audit tests and inventory tests (which may include the taking of a i '

reasonabh number of samples for physical or chemical analyses but which does not include sampling and de tructive testing of fabricated articles except as agreed to by Agency) as DOE deems necessary for verification of the accuracy of any reports submitted by Agency to DOE. DOE agrees to perform any inventory tests with respect to material subject to this Agreement so as to marumise interference to Agency's psocesarft, dehvery schedules, and third. party commitments regardmg the materiaq Agency agrees that no charges for costs or value of any material samples, or for services or

. equipment, should sadt be furnished by Agency, provided in connection with the performance of

' audit totts and inantory tests, shall be made agamst DOE; however, DOE will allow full credit in

Agency's account'w.th DOE for the value of the material included in the samples and DOE will l make no charge against Ageacy for reconversion of the material samples to standard form. In the event Agency should ship' material subject to this Agreement to any other person, or cause such j shipment of such material, Agency shall assure that the rights and privileges granted to DOE under

] this paragraph shall not be affect:4 by such shipment.
