Document Control Desk UFTR Safety Analysis Report i U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Revision 11,1/99 Washington, DC 20555 l

Dear Sir / Madam:

l Re: University of Florida Training Reactor (UFTR)

Facility License R-56; Docket No. 50-83 Enclosed is Revision 11 to the UFTR Safety Analysis Report (SAR) dated January 1981 l submitted as part of our last relicensing effort. Revision 11 consists of a change to a single i page. The revision was initiated as a result of changes in personnel monitoring badges supplied )

to the University by the NVLAP-accredited supplier. This change has been reviewed by  !

UFTR management and the UFTR Safety Review Subcommittee and is not considered to involve any unreviewed safety question or to impact the UFTR Safety Analysis as outlined I below. I Essentially, this change was made because the University-contracted NVLAP-approved supplier of personnel radiation monitoring badges has now changed from using film to using

Luxel dosimeters in their badges. Other extra badges for some operators already utilize I thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). The change occurs in Section 12.3.4.4 on page 12-20 where the reference to operators and other personnel working in the reactor wearing " film badges" at all times is changed to read wearing " film, TLD, Luxel c r other individual personnel monitoring badges" in the first two lines of the first paragraph. The change is general to allow various types of radiation sensitive materials to be used in personnel monitoring badges. Currently, the Luxel dosimeter is the primary material with supporting documentation showing this material to be superior to film; nevertheless, sufficient generality i is incorporated in the new wording so that any change by the NVLAP-approved supplier, l

whoever it might be that is contracting with the University, would be allowable under the Safety Analysis Report. The usual vertical line in the page margin is used to delineate the change in the report so that it is easily located.

As indicated, this Revision 11 change has been fully reviewed by UFTR management and by the Reactor Safety. Review Subcommittee to assure no unreviewed safety question was involved and so is not considered to relax the requirements for assuring protection of the health and safety of the public and of the reactor facility. The change simply updates the Safety Analysis Report to reflect the existing facility and its operations by updating the l allowable types of personnel monitoring badges to be worn by those working in the reactor.

The entire transmittal consists of one signed original letter with enclosure plus ten copies of

- the entire set. If further information is required, please advise.

Sincerely, l '
