13 Reactor Facility Descriotions L
The UARR is a TRIGA Mark I licensed to operate at a maximum l steady-state thermal power of 400110 kilowatts and in the pulse mode I with reactivity insertions up to $2.50.
The reactor core is located in a swimming pool type tank which is 21 feet deep and 6.5 feet in diameter, located below grade in Room 124.
!' The tank contains approximately 5000 gallons of demineralized water.
The reactor fuel consists of standard stainless-stee! clad TRIGA fuel l elements, instrumented elements, and fuel followers for the control rods.
The U-235 enrichment of the fuelis less than 20 percent. Irradiated fuel is located either in the reactor core or in safe geometry storage racks in j the reactor pool.
The reactor pool water provides shielding of the gamma radiation
- produced during operation and from the irradiated fuel. During operation, the water is cooled by refrigeration coils submerged in the pool. A pump, ,
I l~ filter, and demineralizer unit are used to maintain water purity. Inlet and outlet pipes extend from the reactor pool to the demineralizer system. ;
Vent holes have been drilled in the intake and outlet pipes approximately two feet below normal pool-water level to assure that any siphoning action l
[ would be broken at this level of pool water. This depth of water is j sufficient to provide shielding for the irradiated fuel.

Earthquake information may be obtainedfrom the University ofArizona Geosciences Department, which operates earthquake monitoring systems.
8.3 First Aid and Medical Facilities Accidents resulting in personal injury without contamination will be j handled by administering first aid and summoning an ambulance if l needed. In the event of injury requiring medical treatment with contamination, the individual will be transported to the University Hospital, j which is located about 0.4 miles from the Engineering Building. Either I NRL or RCO personnel will accompany the contaminated injured victim to j the hospital, which has emergency procedures for this situation.
Requests for ambulance transport shall be made through the University Police Dispatcher, who will contact the ambulance service with which a
[ support agreement has been made.
8.4 Decontamination Facilities I
Decontamination of personnel at the NRL can normally be handled in the NRL or in the Radiochemistry Laboratory, Room 164, which is across the hall from the NRL. Both laboratories have sinks with soap, paper towels, and contaminated waste containers at hand. In an emergency when the facilities of these laboratories are not available, Room 448120, located between the NRL and the ESC, may be used for segregation of contaminated personnel and for decontamination.
