Gentlemen:
As observed in your letter of October 29, 1986, this office incorrectly
labeled as Safeguards Information portions of the Notice of Violation dated
October 6, 1986. We also erred similarly in our letter to you dated July 14,
1986.
Please amend your copies by marking out the Safeguards Information
notations.
By copy of this letter, we are requesting other recipients to do the same and
we are providing the subject pages to persons who had not been entitled to
receive them when marked Safeguards Information.
Our apologies for the error.
Sincerely,

The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's physical security program to
determine compliance with the requirements of the AGN-201 and TRIGA Operating
License condition 2.C.(3); 10 CFR Part 50.54(p); and the recommendations of
The NRC inspectors verified the implementation of the Physical Security
Plan (PSP) by review of logs, observation of equipment, and discussion with
licensee representatives responsible for implementation of the PSP. An
unannounced test of the VofU Police Department's response to an intrusion alarm
was conducted.
License condition 2.C.(3) for the AGN-201 and TRIGA reactors
states that:
"The licensee shall maintain in effect and fully implement all
provisions of the Commission-approved physical security plan, including
amendments and changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p)." The g
g
licensee is required to implement the PSP, Revision 1 dated July 28, 1980.

Access and Key Controls
g
o-
m
Chapter 1, Section 1.1, Area Where SNM Material is Used, states that steel
'l
doors 4 and 5 (identified in Figure 1.2 of the PSP) provide access to the
y
radiochemistry laboratory from the reactor room. When authorized
g
personnel are not present within the University Nuclear Engineering
e
Laboratory (rooms 1001 A thru G on the first floor of the Merrill
Engineering Building), doors 4 and 5 are secured by dead bolt locks.
g
Door 2 (Reactor Supervisor Office & TRIGA Control Room) keys are
controlled by the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Office, physical
'o
plant, and the university key shop.
These keys are only issued to staff
l
of the university and no students are issued these keys.
Keys to door 3
s
(AGN-201 and TRIGA reactor Room 1001-E) are maintained by the reactor
E
'
supervisor and only three keys are maintained. One key is retained by the
R
reactor supervisor, another by the senior reactor operator, and the third
OkE
is maintained in a locked box for use by authorized personnel during
2 p: ., E
off-hour access.
p$
Q
The overhead crane is shut off at a lockable switch box within the
o
controlled access area (Room 1001-E).
During periods where the crane is
"
not in use, the power at the switch box is turned off and the switch
locked.
'
The NRC inspectors determined that during the period of June 9 through 11,
N
1986, door 4 and the overhead crane switch was not locked when the
'
University Nuclear Engineering Laboratory (UNEL) was unoccupied.
The
h, W
licensee did on June 11, 1986, secure the overhead crane switch with a
A
\\
lock, and door 4 with a clevised wire rope and bolt. Also, the NRC
% C
inspectors determined on June 11, 1986, that a student possessed a key to
N
N
Room 1001 and to door 2, and that the third key to the TRIGA and AGN-201
co
reactor room (Room 1001-E) was not being kept in a locked box, but was
kept in an unsecured electrical fuse panel within a file cabinet in
Poom 1001-C.
Failure to secure facilities and equipment is an apparent
violation of the PSP, Section 1.1 (50-72/8601-12 and 50-407/8601-12).

Facility and Equipment
Chapter 1, Section 1.1, of the PSP also states that laminated-fixed safety
glass windows provide a clear view of the reactor room (1001-E) from the
Director's office (reactor supervisor's office, room 1001-A), and the AGN
and TRIGA control rooms (rooms 1001 and 1001-D respectively). Chapter 2,
Section 2.1 of tne PSP states that violation of the intrusion alarm system
results in the transmission of a signal interrupt over a dedicated
telephone line to the University of Utah Police Dispatcher and to the
University Radiation Safety Office (Radiological Health Department).
In
each of the offices a visual and oral alarm signal is located.
The NRC inspectors determined on June 9 thru 11, 1986, that 100 percent of
the view afforded by the window in room 1001-A was obscured by a stack of
y
m
empty soda pop cans placed on the window sill area, and approximately
g'
g
50 percent of the view from room 1001 windows was obscured by a chart, the g
g
AGN-201 reactor console, and books which were stacked on the AGN-201
g
o.
console. On June 10, 1986, the NRC inspectors determined the alarm at the
m
p
Radiological Health Department had been disconnected.
Failure to properly
g
maintain the facility and equipment is an apparent violation of the PSP,
y
Section 1.1 (50-72/8601-13 and 50-407/8601-13).
g
No deviations were identified.
