Sir:
m Please find enclosed revised pages 8 and 10 of our Berkeley Research Reactor Annual Report for 1985.
Please note that lines 4, 5, and 6 of page 8 should read as follows:
" Maximum concentration at one particular period at stack discharge was 2.54 x 10pci/ml. This concentration is 81% of the allowable maxinum concentration for this facility of 3.12 x 10 'pC1/ml."
~
Line 10 of page 10 should read:
... maximum swipe activities recorded was 8.4 x 10 pCi/100 cd from..."
and line 19 of page 10 should read:
... for the year was 299 mrem".
Please amend your report accordingly. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Sincerely yours, Tek H. Lim Reactor Supervisor 111L/1p

8 normal operations.
He total released was 6.13 Ci as Ar-41 of a maximum permitted
~
release of 2,785 Ci which corresponded to 0.22% of the allowable release.
Maxi== concentration at one particular period at stack discharge was
-2.54 x 10 'pCi/ml. His concentration is 81% of the allowable maximum
~
concentration for this facility of 3.12 x 10pCi/ml. No average concentration was calculated due to frequent periods of time when the reactor was idle more than 50% of nonnal operational time (8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> per day, 5 days a week, excluding legal and university holidays).
Filter paper air samples showed that no particulate radioactivity above naturally ocurring levels could be detected in the exhaust stream.
Trace amounts of fission products from a leaking instrumented fuel element were detected during the months of September and October 1985.
During this incident, the estimated average concentration of detectable fission gasses (Kr-85m, KR-87, KR-88) in the reactor room were found to be lower than the allowable maximum concentration in unrestricted areas averaged over a year, as stated in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B.
Most of the fission' products were confined to the reactor room and disappeared by decay.
The leaking fueluelement has been isolated:and' removed from the core..
This incident was reported to the NRC Region V Office.
