SUBJECT:

TEXAS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION/TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

SYSTEM - U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SAFETY INSPECTION

REPORT NO. 05000128/2024201 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Jenkins:

From December 16-20, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted

an inspection at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station/Texas A&M University System

Nuclear Science Center. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and

compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed various activities, and

interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one Severity Level IV

violation of NRC requirements has occurred. The violation was evaluated in accordance with the

NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement Policy is included on the NRCs website at

https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html. The violation is cited in

the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it are described in

detail in the enclosed inspection report. The violation is cited in the Notice because it

constitutes a failure to meet regulatory requirements that has more than minor safety

significance and the licensee failed to identify the violation.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice when preparing your response. If you have additional information that you

believe the NRC should consider, you may provide it in your response to the Notice. The NRC

review of your response to the Notice will also determine whether further enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Inspection Results

Minor Violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-03)

69001.01

Minor Violation: On June 14, 2024, the licensee reported event notification57174 to the

Headquarters Operation Center for a fuel pin that did not pass the test criteria specified in

TS 3.1.5, Reactor Fuel Parameters, during fuel inspection. The licensee responded as

required by the TSs to identify a degraded fuel pin and inspected the entire core. While

reviewing EN 57174, the inspectors identified a violation of TS 6.7.2, Special Reports. TS 6.7.2 states, in part, There shall be a report not later than the following working day by

telephone and confirmed in writing by fax or similar conveyance to the NRC Headquarters

Operations Center, and followed by a written report that describes the circumstances of the

event and sent within 14 days to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Contrary to TS 6.7.2, the licensee failed to send a written report that describes the

circumstances of the event to the NRC within 14 days after the licensee determined that a

reportable event occurred.

Screening: The event report was sent on December 15, 2024. The information in the report

would not have changed the NRCs oversight posture and because the licensee performed all

required corrective actions after identifying the failed fuel element, the inspectors determined

that the failure to meet the requirements of TS 6.7.2 constitutes a violation of minor

significance in accordance with section 2.0 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This minor

violation (VIO 05000128-2024201-03) was corrected by the licensee and this issue is closed.

Enforcement: The failure to comply with TS 6.7.2 constitutes a minor violation that is not

subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.

- 6 -

Non-Cited Violation (NCV 05000128/2024201-02)

69001.07

The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV violation of TS 6.7.1 for the licensee failing to

submit an annual operating report within the required frequency. This violation of very low

safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been corrected and is treated as a

non-cited violation, consistent with section 2.3.2(b) of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

Violation: TS 6.7.1, Annual Operating Report, states, in part, An annual report covering the

operation of the reactor facility during the previous calendar year shall be submitted to the

NRC before March 31 of each year providing the following information:.

Contrary to TS 6.7.1, the annual report covering the operation of the reactor facility for

calendar year 2023 was not submitted to the NRC before March 31, 2024. Specifically, the

annual operating report was not submitted until December 19, 2024, 8 months and 19 days

after the required time frame.

The inspectors determined that the problem was identified by the licensee and reported to the

inspectors. Corrective actions were identified and completed. As a result, this non-willful,

non-repetitive, licensee-identified and licensee-corrected violation will be treated as a

non-cited violation consistent with section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy

(NCV 05000128/2024201-02).

Minor Violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-04)

69001.07

Minor Violation: TS 4.5, Radiation Monitoring Systems and Effluents, specification 1 states,

The area radiation monitoring system (ARM) and the FAM system shall be calibrated

annually, shall be channel tested weekly, and shall be channel checked prior to reactor

operation.

Contrary to TS 4.5(1.), the licensee identified that the Facility Air Monitoring (FAM) system

was not calibrated annually. Specifically, the licensee identified that the calibrations were

revised in 2018 to not require a full calibration of the entire FAM system. The last correct

calibration was performed on November 19, 2018.

Screening: The licensee performed a complete FAM system calibration in January 2024, prior

to reactor operations, and determined that the FAM system was never out of calibration since

the last calibration on November 19, 2018. As a result, the inspectors determined that failure

to meet the requirements of TS 4.5(1.) constitutes a violation of minor significance in

accordance with section 2.0 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This minor violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-04) was corrected by the licensee and this issue is closed.

Enforcement: The failure to comply with TS 4.5(1.) constitutes a minor violation that is not

subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.

This closes Unresolved Item 05000128/2023201-04.

Failure to conduct audits as required by the TSs

Severity

Report Section

Severity Level IV

NOV 2024201-01

Open

69001.09

The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV notice of violation of TS 6.2.4(1.), TS 6.2.4(2.),

TS 6.2.4(5.), and TS 6.2.5 for the licensees failure to perform audits within the required

frequency.

Description: TS 6.2.4 and TS 6.2.5 requires the licensee to perform audits. While the licensee

failed to perform the audits required by TS 6.2.4(1.), TS 6.2.4(2.), and TS 6.2.5 within the

required time frame, the audits were eventually performed. However, during an NRC security

inspection performed December 11-14, 2023, the inspector noted TS 6.2.4(5.) was not

performed since June 2021 and was due December 2023. The inspector noted that the audit

was scheduled for the month of December, but the auditor changed plans to conduct the audit

in January 2024. During this inspection, the inspectors confirmed no audit was conducted in

January 2024. The licensee has currently not performed an audit required by TS 6.2.4(5.)

since June 2021.

Corrective Actions: The inspectors confirmed that the licensee placed the issue in their

spreadsheet tracking all issues that need to be completed. The licensee informed the

inspectors that an individual that works for the Nuclear Science Center and is not immediately

responsible for the area would perform the audit this calendar year.

Analysis: The violation was evaluated in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The

violation is cited as a Notice of Violation because it constitutes a failure to meet regulatory

requirements that has a more than minor safety significance and the licensee failed to identify

the violation.

Enforcement:

Severity: The violation is categorized at Severity Level IV in accordance with section 6.9.d of

the NRC Enforcement Policy.

Violation: TS 6.2.4, RSB Audit Function, states, in part, The audit function shall include

selective (but comprehensive) examination of operating records, logs, and other documents.

Audits shall include but are not limited to the following:.

TS 6.2.4(1.) states, Facility operations, including radiation protection, for conformance to the

Technical Specifications, applicable license conditions, and standard operating procedures:

at least once per calendar year (interval between audits not to exceed 15 months).

TS 6.2.4(2.) states, The results of action taken to correct those deficiencies that may occur in

the reactor facility equipment systems, structures, or methods of operations that affect reactor

safety: at least once per calendar year (interval between audits not to exceed 15 months).

TS 6.2.4(5.) states, The reactor facility security plan and implementing procedures: at least

once every other calendar year (interval between audits not to exceed 30 months).

Contrary to TS 6.2.4(1.) and TS 6.2.4(2.), the inspectors identified that the licensee failed to

perform an audit to include facility operations and an audit to include the results of action

taken to correct those deficiencies that may occur in the reactor facility equipment systems,

structures, or methods of operations that affect reactor safety at least once per calendar year.

Specifically, the licensee performed an audit, that included TS 6.2.4(1.) and TS 6.2.4(2.), on

- 8 -

August 28, 2022, and performed the subsequent audit on April 2, 2024, which exceeded the

allowable 15-month frequency.

Contrary to TS 6.2.4(5.), the inspectors identified that the licensee failed to perform an audit

to include the reactor facility security plan and implementing procedures at least once every

other calendar year. Specifically, the licensee performed an audit, that included TS 6.2.4(5.),

on June 28, 2022, and had not performed a subsequent audit, which exceeded the 30-month

requirement.

TS 6.2.5, Audit of ALARA Program, states, in part, The Chair of the RSB or designated

alternate (excluding anyone whose normal job function is within the NSC) shall conduct an

audit of the reactor facility ALARA program annually.

Contrary to TS 6.2.5, the inspectors identified that the licensee failed to conduct an audit of

the reactor facility as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) program annually.

Specifically, the licensee performed an audit, that included TS 6.2.5, on June 28, 2022, and

performed the subsequent audit on April 3, 2024, which exceeded the annual requirement.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being cited as a Notice of Violation, consistent with

sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

This closes Inspector Follow Up Item 05000128/2023202-01.

Exit Meeting and Debriefs

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
