Subject:
Facility License No. R-52, Docket 50-113 Change in the Emergency Ph.n for the University of Arizona Nuclear Reactor Laboratory Notification is hereby made of a room identification change in the Emergency Plan for the University of Arizona Nuclear Reactor Laboratory.
In section 8.1, room i14 is identified as the Emergency Support Center (ESC) for emergency actions. The ESC will now become room 104. In section 10.5.1, room i 14 is identified as the location foi the main emergency kit for the NRL. The new location for the emergency kit will now become room 104. These changes have been reviewed by the Reactor Committee pursuant to 10CFR50.54(q) and the Committee has determined that the changes do not decrease the
- effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. The changes required reprinting of pages 17 and 20 of the Emergency Plan.
Two copies of the change pages are submitted: one showing editorial marks (deletions struck through) and one clean version as revised.
These change pages respectfully submitted on behalf of the University of Arizona, by

- The Emergency Director, with support from NRL personnel and staff from i i the Radiation Control Office', is responsible for minimizing personna exposure and spread of contamination. - Emergency exposure levels for personnel shall be in
-accordance with Section 7.2.
8.0 - Emergency _Eacildias.and.Egulpment 8.1 - Emergency Support Center (ESC)
Room 444104 on the first floor of the Engineering Building shall serve as
- the Emergency Support Center (ESC) for emergency actions. The purpose of this center is to serve as a control center and accountability station for persons in the area affected by the emergency. The locat;on of the ESC controls access to one
- hall leading to the NRL and is near the West and North building entrances.
Personnel may be assigned from the ESC to the other entrancos to the Engineering Building, thus controlling access to the Building and io other halls leading to the NRL The facility emergency kit is located permanently in the ESC.
Telephones are available in the ESC and in adjacent offices which are under control of the NRL
[
8.2 Assessment Facilities The NRL has area radiation monitors with readouts and alarm indications in the reactor control room. The Nuclear Reactor Laboratory has counting laboratories and portable survey instruments in the Engineering Building. If necessary, additional counting equipment and survey instruments are available from the Radiation Control Office and other University facilities. Both the Nuclear Reactor Laboratory and the Radiation Control Office maintain gamma ray spectrometers for radioisotope identification. A portable high volume air sampler for collection of airbome particulate radioactivity is available in the emergency kit.
A pool level alarm indicator and fuel temperature indicator in the control room can provide system or status information for emergency assessment.
8.3 First Aid and Medical Facilities Accidents resulting in personal injury without contamination will be handled by s'dministering first aid and summoning an ambulance if needed.' in the event of -
injury requiring medical treatment with contamination, the individual will be
. transported to the University Hospital, which is located about 0.4 miles h f

10.5 Emergency Eauioment Maintenance and Surveillance Surveillance of emergency supplies insures availability and proper condition forimmediate use. The Emergency Coordinatoris responsible for scheduled surveillance of emergency supplies. Contents of the Emergency kit in the ESC are verifit.n monthly and tested to be operational on an annual basis.
Fire extinguishers located throughout the Engineering Building are checked approximately semi-annually by University Facilities Ma!ntenance personnel. The.
NRL alarm system into the Police Dispatchers desk is verified to be operational monthly.
10.5.1 inventory of Emergencv Sucolies and EaulomtD1 The raain emergency kit for the NRL is located in Room +M 104 on the
- first floor of the Engineering Building. This room serves as the ESC during an emergency requiring evacuation of the NRL.
The main emergency kit contains ropes, signs, protective clothing, flashlights, portable survey instruments, and an air sampler with extra filters. A copy of the Emergency Procedures and this Emergency Plan is also included.
Additional emergency supplies, survey instruments, decontamination materials, and personnel dosimeters are available from the Radiation Control Office, and the necessary supplies will be brought to the site by RCO staff responding to an emergency.
10.5.2 Radiation Monitorina Eauioment Checks and Calibrations Portable health physics instruments used in the NRL and those in the emergency kit are checked for operability quarterly and calibrated semiannually by the staff of the Radiation Control Offica. Area monitors are calibrated annually by the staff of the NRL. The intrusion alarm is tested monthly, including a test of the readout of the alarm indication at the Police Dispatcher's desk.
