f 1 EXECUTIVE SUMM ARY This repon covers the period from September 1,1998 to August 31,1999. This report is intended to fulfill several purposes including the reporting requirements of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Depanment of Energy, and the Oregon Department of Energy.
There were over 1400 individual visits to the Reactor Facility during the year. Most were j students in classes at Reed College or area universities, colleges, and high schools.
l .
Including tours and research conducted at the facility, the Reed Reactor Facility contributed to the educational programs of twelve colleges and universities in addition to nineteen pre-college groups. Most of the reactor use by non-Reed personnel was conducted under the auspices of the Nuclear Science Consonium of the Willamette Valley, supponed by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy through the Reac. tor Sharing Program.
During the year, the reactor was operated 212 times. The total energy production was approximately 25 MW-hours.
The reactor staff consists of a Director, an Associate Director, a contract Health Physicist, and approximately twenty Reed College undergraduate students licensed by the Nuclear l Regulatory Commission as reactor operators.
l There were no radiation exposures to individuals recorded during the year. There were no releases ofliquid radioactive material from the facility and airborne releases were well within regulatory limits.

Reed Reacio? !~acility Annual Report i998-99 Page1
INTRODUCTION The Reed College Reactor Facility has been a resource for research and educational projects in the Portland area since its establishment in 1968. Cooperative programs between Reed and several public and private high schools, colleges, and universities in northwestern Oregon were established in 1970. These programs, fostered by the reactor staff, are an important pan of the educational picture of the region. Partial funding from the U.S.
Department of Energy's Reactor Use Sharing Program through the Nuclear Science Consortium of the Willamette Valley enables use of the reactor by educational institutions other than Reed.
.The Reed College reactor is a TRIGA Mark I reactor with zirconium hydride / uranium hydride fuel elements in a circular grid array. The uranium fuel is enriched to 19.9% in uranium-235. The reactor is at the bottom of a 25-foot-deep tank of water and is surrounded by a graphite reflector.
The Reed Reactor operates at various steady power levels. The reactor is brought up to a desired power level (up to the license ceiling of 250 kW-thermal) and is kept at that power until'the experiment or irradiation is completed. This power level is usually maintained fo:
periods ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Repeated operation over several days are possible for long-term irradiations.
The main uses of the Reed Reactor Facility are instruction and research, especially trace-element analysis. In addition to providing student research opportunities, the reactor staff works to educate the surrounding community on the principles of nuclear energy and radiation safety.

Feet (approximate) Restroom p Upstars The equipment available at the reactor facility includes four gamma spectrometers (with ,
high purity germanium), X-ray florescence detector, surface barrier detectors, alpha i spectrometers, silicon lithium X-ray detectors, a whole body counter, gas flow proportional counters, ion chambers, betr counters, geiger-miiller tube.s, neatron detectors, alpha detectors, and thermoluminescent dosimeter readers. The instruments are used for experiments and training in basic nuclear science and radiation detection. Hand and shoe monitors are used in the reactor bay. A liquid scintillation detector is available in the chemistry department and serves the campus radioisotope committee.
The reactor facility has several systems for performing irradiations, described below.
Rotating Specimen Rack Facility The rotating specimen rack (" lazy susan")is lacr.M in a well on top of the graphite reflector which surrounds the core. The ract wnsie of a circular array of 40 tubular ;
receptacles. Each receptacle can accommodate Iwe LIGA-type irradiation tubes, so that up to 80 separate samples may be irradiated at any one time. Vials holdmg up to 17 ml (four j, Reed Reactor Facility Annual Report 1998-99 Page 7
drams) 3re routinely used in this system. Depending upon its geometry, a sample up to about 40 rcl could be irradiated by jc .ing two vials. Samples are loaded.in the specimen rack prior to the stan-up of the reactor. The rack automatically rotates dudng irradiation to ensure each sample receives the same neutron flux. Typically, the rotating rack is used by researchers when longer irradiation times (generally greater than five minutes) are required.
The average thermal neutron flux in the rotating rack position is approximately 1.7 x10 12 n/cm2s with a cadmium ratio of 6.0 at full power. The specimen rack can also be used for gamma irradiations when the reactor is shutdown. The shutdown dose rate in the specimen rack is approximately 8 R/ min.
Pneumatic Transfer System The pneumatic transfer systcm (" rabbit") consists of an irradiation chamber in the outer ring of the core with its associated pump and piping. This allows samples to be transferred in and out of the reactor core very rapidly, while the reactor is at power.
Routine use of the pneumatic transfer system involves placing samples into vials, which in turn are placed in special capsules known as " rabbits." The capsule is loaded into the system in the laboratory next to the reactor and is then transferred pneumatically into the core-irradiation position. At the end of a predetermined time the sample is transfened back to the receiving terminal, where it is removed for measurement. The transfer time from the core to the temiinal is about seven seconds, making this method of irradiating samples particularly useful for experiments involving radioisotopes with short half-lives. The finx in the core terminal is approximately 5x10' n/cm 2s when the reactor is at full power.
In-Core Facilities The central thimble, which is a water-filled irradiation chamber about 3 cm in diameter, provides the highest available neutron flux, about 1x10 n/cm 2s. Special sample holders can be designed for the central thimble to provide maximum flexibility in experiment design.
A source holder assembly can also be used. The chamber fits into a fuel-element position within the core itself. However, it holds only one specially positioned irradiation container, containing a cavity 7.5 cm in length and 2.5 cm in diameter. Use of the chamber as an irradiation facility necessitates special arran;;ements.
Foil-insertion holes,0.8 cm in diameter, are drilled at various positions through the grid plates. These holes allow inserting special holders containing flux wires into the core, to obtain neutron flux maps of the core.
(n-Pool Facilities Near core, in-pool inadiation facilities can be arranged for larger samples. Neutron fluxes will be lower than in the lazy susan and will depend on the sample location.
Beam Facilities The central thimble can be evacuated with gas, producing a venical neutron beam. This beam can be used to generate directional neutron flux, or for limited inadiations above the tank. Neutron radiography is also possible. The flux above the beam exit is approximately lx10' n/cm 2s when the reactor is at full power.

REACTOR USERS Reactor Visitors A total of 1420 individuals visited the Reed Reactor Facility during the year, as derived from the visitors log - Entry List B. Individuals who visited more than once are counted for each visit. Visitors include allindividuals who are not listed as facility staff. A large percentage of these were students in classes at area universities, colleges, and high schools as discussed below. A monthly breakdown of the number of visitors is shown on Table A.
Reactor Operations Seminar The Reed Reactor Facility conducts an annual seminar series for students from Reed and other area educational institutions. This non-credit course serves as an introduction to nuclear reactor theory, health physics, and reactor operation. Some of the students continue with in-depth reactor operator tiaining and subsequently apply for a reactor operator license. If successful, t1e individual may be hired to operate the reactor. In addition, existing reactor operators may take the NRC senior reactor operator exam to upgrade their licenses.
During the reporting period, four out of eight reactor operator candidates and all four senior reactor operator candidates passed the NRC exams.
Nuclear Science Consortium In order to better use the resources of the Reed Reactor Facility, Dr. Scott and representatives of several area colleges and universities established the Nuclear Science Consonium of the Willamette Valley in 1970. Funding for the Consortium has been derived from Reactor Use Sharing Grants of the U.S. Department of Energy. This made the facility available without charge to classroom groups and unfunded research projects for consortium members.
The following institutions have participated in facility tours, experiments, and research pmjects in the reponing period.

Many of the reactor tours include actual hands-on use of facility equipment to conduct experiments in basic radiation science, health physics, and nuclear physics. The most popular experiments for middle school students are a demonstration of the inverse square law and the absorption of radiation by different types of material. For hi t school classes, a typical lab experience would involve determining the background of a ge.ger-millier scalar system and then determining the half-life of a radioactive material.
College classes are generally more closely tailored to the individual interests and needs of the Consortium faculty member involved. Experiments include more direct use of the reactor itself by the students, more detailed analysis of mate-ials, and emphasize the ,
incorporation of other classroom activities as much as possible.
Several special programs for gifted children used the reactor. These are designed to enrich !
their educational program and prepare them for college. Some of the groups who use the reactor target minority and disadvantaged youth who are historically under-represented in science professions.
High School Student Projects The Reed Reactor Facility continued to be used in independent science projects initiated by students from several Oregon high schools. Students from Elmira High School, Gold Beach High School, Jesuit high School; Lincoln High School, and Oregon Episcopal
' School performed special science research projects at the reactor this year.

Two or three times each year the Environmental Remediation & Hazardous Material Management Program (ERHMM) at Concordia University visits the facility. The reactor {
provides training and experiments involving radiation, radioactive material, environmental l sampling, and trace element analysis. !
Reed Classes, Theses, and Faculty Research The Reed College Reactor Facility was used in two Reed College Classes and one senior thesis.
l The Chemistry 110 class conducted a lab using neutron activation analysis to analyze for potassium in a compound synthesized earlier in the course.
l Chemistry 315 students conducted a lab using neutron activation analysis to evaluate I the presence ofimpurities in aluminum foil.
Industrial and Commercial Applications i
The Reed Reactor Facility is available for use by industrial or commercial concems when it does not conflict with our educational goals. As in past years, the primary operations involve neutron activation analysis of materials or environmental samples. Arrangements may be made either on a time lease basis or the industry may contract for sample analysis.
This year work included attempts to find trace elements in soil samples and renting, analytical equipment. The facility also provides radiation protection training to mterested panies and schools in the area.

Unplanned Reactor Shutdowns There were twenty unplanned reactor shutdowns (scrams) during the period, as shown in Table B. All were classified as inadvertent; none were unexplained.The number of unplanr.ed reactor shutdowns is higher than normal. As usual, most reactor scrams are associated with improper operation of the Linear Power range switch. The increase in Percent Power scrams is due to calibration difference between it and the Linea- Channel which is norma.lyi used to control power.

7/29/99 New Linear ChannelInstalled Safety Reviews There were seven changes performed during the reporting period under the provisions of 10CFR50.59:
SOP Changes - August 1998 I During the summer of 1998 the SOPS were reviewed and revised. Every SOP was changed; some changes were major and some were wording or format.
Replace Main Chart and Radiation Monitor Recorders Replaced the main chart recorder, a Honeywell Electrik 19, with a new Honeywell DPR-100 C. At the same time replaced the three separate chart recorders for the radiation monitors (APM, GSM, and CAM) with another DPR-100 C. The DPR-100 is chart recorder with up to 3 pens and a 12 digit alphanumeric LED display. It can print times, events, and values directly on the chan. It comes with a mathematics package that allows it to calculate and display (or print) values derived from the input parameters.
Revise Security Plan This change revised the Security Plan l
Reed Reactor Facility Annual Report 1998-99 Page 15 e
Additional Skimmer Thb change moved the skimmer to the southwest comer of the pool which is currently a " dead spot" in the tank surface flow. The existing skimmer can't remove items from that comer.
Shim. Rod Slave Relay Jumper This change pimpered the Slave Relay on the Shim Rod.
Move RAM to southwest corner of the reactor pool
( The RAM and its support bracket.was moved from the northwest corner of the' reactor pool to the southwest corner so that it can be read from the control room window without the need of binoculars or a telescope.
Replace Linear Power Channel Electronics Replaced the existing linear l.ower channel with a new Sorrento NMP-1000. The Sorrento NMP-1000 is an analog, wide range, linear current module. It produces and displays its own high voltage and compensating voltage. It indicates the range with lights and displays the power on a vertical meter. The linear channel detector itself was not changed.

R ADI ATION PROTECTION
_ Personnel Dosimetry During the period from July 1,1998 to June 30,1999, personnel dosimeters were issued to 30 Reed students and staff and 1 contractor working at the reactor. Since dosimeters are changed on a calendar quarter schedule, this period is the closest to the reporting period.
During the year 103 whole body dosimeters were issued of which 103 were below
- detection limit. During the year 103 ring dosimeters were issued of which 103 were below detection limit. Individuals were issued beta-gamma sensitive ring badges and whole-body ;
badges. The Director and Associate Director were issued beta-gamma-neutron sensitive dosimetry.
Gaseous Releases The only routine release of gaseous radioactivity is from Ar-41 (1.83 hour9.606481e-4 days <br />0.0231 hours <br />1.372354e-4 weeks <br />3.15815e-5 months <br /> half-life) and N-16 (7.13 second half-life). These come from activation of pool water and air dissolved in the pool water. For calendar year 1998, the average gaseous activity at the site boundary was 3.47 x 10a2 uCi/ml which would deliver a dose to a member of the public at the site
' boundary of approximately 0.02 mrem per year; well below regulatory guidelines and constraints.
Liquid Waste Releases No liquid radioactive waste was released from the Reed Reactor Facility during this report period.
Solid Waste Disposal No solid radioactive waste was shipped from the Reed Reactor Facility during this report period.
Environmental Sampling Soil samples taken from the area surrounding the facility showed no activity above background. Water samples taken from the facility's secondary cooling system showed no I activity above background. 1 Fixed Area Dosimetry Radiation levels are continually monitored to provide an indication of the average radiation !
levels in the reactor bay and dose outside the facility. The locations of these dosimeters are 1 shown on Figure 1. All are thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) designed to monitor beta and gamma radiation. In addition, locations C and E TLDs measure neutron dose.

1 The radiation doses measured during 'the period beginning July 1,1998 and ending June 30,1999 are shown in Table E. Since dosimeters are changed on a calendar quarter schedule, this period is the closest to the reporting period. There are radioactive naterial sample storage locations along the north wall: a radioactive source storage safe and a lead enclosed sample box where samples are placed immediately upon removal from the reactor.
