Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. H. D. Chaney and B. Murray
of this office during the period April 11-12, 1988, of the activities
authorized by NRC Operating License R-83 for Texas A&M University TRIGA
reactor, and to the discussion of our findings with Dr. F. D. Jennings and
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included independent measurements of the
radiation spectrum from reactor Beam Port No.- 1, a review of the high radiation
area controls for experiments, radiological surveys, and interviews with
personnel involved in the neutron diffraction experiment performed during
August to December 1987.
This inspection is a continuance of the NRC
inspection documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-128/88-01 andthesubjectof
an enforcement conference with you in the Region IV office on April 5, 1988.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of
procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
observations by the NRC inspectors.
The inspection findings are documented in
the enclosed inspection report.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in
apparent vio... ion of NRC requirements.
This matter, which is discussed in
paraguph 3 of the inspectinn report, is under NHC review and will be
addressed in separate correspondcnce.
In addition, two previous inspection
findings which were identified as apparent violations in NRC Inspection
Report 50-128/88-01 (128/8801-01 and 128/8801-05) were reviewed during this
inspection and were determined not to be classified as violations.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to
discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
Original Signed By
