April-14, 1987 Docket No. 50-89 Mr. Keith E. Asmussen Manager, Licensing and Nuclear Material' Control GA Technologies, Inc.
Post Office Box 85608 San Diego, California 92138
Dear Mr. Asmussen:
SUBJECT:
ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NO. 27 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. R GA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (GA)
The Comission has issued Amendment No. 27 to Facility Operating License No.
R-38 for the TRIGA Mark I reactor. The.amendnent consists of changes to the Facility Operating License and the Technical Specifications, Appendix A, in response to your submittal dated February 26, 1987.
The amendment changes, to make the license condition more complete, Paragraph-2.C.(1) of License No. R-38 to include the maximum reactivity insertion allowed in the pulsing mode. Also changed is Technical. Specification 7.1 to eliminate an inconsistency between the license condition for the maximum power level at which the reactor may operate and-the Technical Specification for the maximum operating power level by eliminating the exception of the 250 kW maximum power level for the purpose of safety circuit testing. Safety circuits must be tested by a method other than raising the reactor power level above the licensed limit. We understand that GA has conducted this testing for several years by introducing an electrical signal into the circuit.
Copies of Amendment No. 27 and the related Safety Evaluation are enclosed.
Sincerely, original signed by Alexander Adams, Jr., Project Manager 8704280675 870414 Standardization and Non-Power Reactor Project Directorate PDR ADOCK 0500 9
