SUBJECT:
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE - REGULATORY AUDIT RE: DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADE (EPID L-2020-NFA-0012)
Dear Mr. Cook:
By letter dated November 10, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20318A339), as supplemented by letters dated February 5, 2021, and February 11, 2021, (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML21036A297 and ML21042B841, respectively) Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute applied for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. R-84 for the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute TRIGA-Mark F tank-type nuclear reactor facility. The requested licensing action would replace and upgrade the instrumentation and control (I&C) systems for the reactor and would amend the technical specification related to the upgrade.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct an onsite and remote regulatory audit from September 13 to September 15, 2021, and continue the audit remotely (via teleconference) as necessary throughout the review period, in order to expedite the NRC staff review. The intent of the audit is to gain a better understanding of the application and all proposed changes to the facility. The audit will include review of documentation, observation of the facility, and discussions with facility personnel and management. In addition, the audit will identify information that will support the basis of the licensing decision and identify information that needs to be docketed. The enclosed audit plan provides additional details of the objective and scope of the audit. To facilitate an efficient audit, please provide ready access to working space, requested documentation and other materials, necessary personnel, and areas of the facility.
Following completion of the audit, the NRC staff will provide an audit summary. The summary will include a description of any information identified during the audit that will need to be docketed to supplement the application and information that that is needed to allow the NRC staff to continue its review. You will have the opportunity to supplement the application to provide the additional information or the option to withdraw the application.
A. Cook If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-3398 or by electronic mail at cindy.montgomery@nrc.gov.

R-84 ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE TRIGA-MARK F TANK-TYPE NUCLEAR REACTOR FACILITY DOCKET NO 50-170
Background
By application dated November 10, 2020 (Reference 1) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20318A339), as supplemented by letters dated February 5, 2021 (Ref. 2), and February 11, 2021 (Ref. 3), (ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML21036A297 and ML21042B841, respectively) Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (the licensee or AFRRI) submitted an application for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. R-84 for the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA)-Mark F tank-type nuclear reactor facility. The requested licensing action would upgrade the instrumentation and control (I&C) systems for the AFRRI TRIGA reactor by replacing it with new analog or digital instrumentation and control (DI&C) systems. Additionally, the licensee requested editorial changes to its technical specifications (TSs).
The I&C systems for AFRRI consists of hybrid analog and digital system to monitor, protect, and control the reactor. The proposed I&C systems include a hardwired Reactor Protection System (RPS) with dedicated displays and controls so that safe operation and monitoring of the reactor is not affected if the digital systems become unavailable. Components of the I&C systems will be installed in the Data Acquisition Cabinet (DAC). The reactor will be operated from the Control System Console (CSC) located in the control room.
This regulatory audit is intended to assist NRC staff in confirming information submitted as part of the licensing amendment request.
Regulatory Bases for the Audit The purpose of this audit is to support the NRC staffs review of the licensees proposed I&C systems described in the Chapter 7, Instrumentation and Control Systems, of the AFRRI proposed safety analysis report (SAR) in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and applicable guidance provided in NUREG-1537, Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Applications for the Licensing of Non-Power Reactors, Part 1, Format and Content, and Part 2, Standard Review Plan and Acceptance Criteria, (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML042430055 and ML042430048, respectively).
Enclosure
Regulatory Audit Scope As part of the audit, the NRC staff will review non-docketed procedures and records related to the design and development processes followed by General Atomics for both analog and digital instrumentation and control systems. In addition, during the audit, the NRC staff will interview key AFRRI personnel to discuss the acceptance process followed and proposed operation of the system. The NRC staff will be evaluating whether the results of these actions substantiate the description and assessments included in the proposed SAR for AFRRI.
Information Necessary for the Regulatory Audit AFRRI should be prepared to have the following documentation and information available for the audit, as applicable:
Quality Assurance Documentation Project Quality Assurance Plan Verification & Validation Plan Functional Requirements Specification Hardware Design Document Human Factors Documentation Logic Diagrams and Description Neutron Flux Detection System Documentation System Architecture Diagram Software Requirements Specification and Software Design Description documents Test Plan, Test Procedures, Test Results Factory Acceptance Testing Documentation Operating and Maintenance Procedures Reports documenting results of Verification & Validation Secure Development and Operational Environment Documentation Team Assignments The NRC staff performing this audit will be:
Rossnyev Alvarado (Technical Reviewer)
Joe Ashcraft (Technical Reviewer)
Patrick Boyle (Technical Reviewer)
Cindy Montgomery (Project Manager)
Logistics The audit will take place at AFRRI in Bethesda, MD and via teleconference. The audit will start on the morning of September 13, 2021 continue through the afternoon on September 15, 2021 and will continue remotely (via teleconference) as necessary until the NRC staff have adequate understanding of the issues to be addressed to complete the review of the LAR.
Deliverables At the completion of the regulatory audit, NRC staff will prepare a regulatory audit report, which will be issued after the audit has been completed.
Audit Questions:
The questions for discussion during the audit are primarily based on the open items list provided as an enclosure to this letter. At the conclusion of the audit, the staff will discuss necessary documents to be docketed and the potential requests for additional information (RAI) with the licensee. The goal of these discussions is that the licensee has a clear understanding of these potential requests.
