Docket 50-407 The University of Utah -TRIGA Research Reactor (UUTR) | |||
License No. R-126 SUBJECT 1): Copy of the markedup current TS: only the Chapter 6.0 titled ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS (the rest of the TS document was not changed and is the same as the one submitted as part of the SAR documentation dated Jun 2009) | |||
The University of Utah TRIGA research reactor (UUTR) is submitting the clarification in administrative controls, especially clarifying the organizational chart shown as Figure 6.1, Pg. 26 in the current TS Chapter 14, Chapter 6.0. The organizational chart is redrawn to more clearly show the organization and management, lines of communication and lines of responsibilities and reporting. This is designed to be in full compliance with the ANSI/ANS 15.1-2007, ANSI/ANS 15.4-2007 and NUREG 1537 Part 1 & 2. The wording of the textual part of the Chapter 6.0 was revised as markedup, and in compliance with the ANSI/ANS 15.1-2007, ANSI/ANS 15.4-2007. According to our line of communication and reporting, the Chair of the Reactor Safety Committee and the Associate VP for Research, have approved the clarifications provided in the markedup document. | |||

FACILITY LICENSE R-126 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND BASES FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH TRIGA REACTOR DOMEr50-407 Amendment No. 5 | |||
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND BASES FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH TRIGA NUCLEAR REACTOR This document constitutes the Technical Specifications for the Facility License No. R-126 and supersedes all prior Technical Specifications. Included in these Technical Specifications are the "Basis" to support information the selection and significance of the specification. The bases are included for information purposes only. They are not part of the technical Specifications, and they do not constitute limitations or requirements to which the licensee must adhere. | |||
Furthermore, the dimensions, measurements and other numeric values given in these specifications may differ slightly from actual values because of normal construction and manufacturing tolerances, or normal degree of accuracy of the instrumentation. | |||

Docket 50-407 The University of Utah -TRIGA Research Reactor (UUTR)
License No. R-126 SUBJECT 1): Copy of the markedup current TS: only the Chapter 6.0 titled ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS (the rest of the TS document was not changed and is the same as the one submitted as part of the SAR documentation dated Jun 2009)
The University of Utah TRIGA research reactor (UUTR) is submitting the clarification in administrative controls, especially clarifying the organizational chart shown as Figure 6.1, Pg. 26 in the current TS Chapter 14, Chapter 6.0. The organizational chart is redrawn to more clearly show the organization and management, lines of communication and lines of responsibilities and reporting. This is designed to be in full compliance with the ANSI/ANS 15.1-2007, ANSI/ANS 15.4-2007 and NUREG 1537 Part 1 & 2. The wording of the textual part of the Chapter 6.0 was revised as markedup, and in compliance with the ANSI/ANS 15.1-2007, ANSI/ANS 15.4-2007. According to our line of communication and reporting, the Chair of the Reactor Safety Committee and the Associate VP for Research, have approved the clarifications provided in the markedup document.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND BASES FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH TRIGA NUCLEAR REACTOR This document constitutes the Technical Specifications for the Facility License No. R-126 and supersedes all prior Technical Specifications. Included in these Technical Specifications are the "Basis" to support information the selection and significance of the specification. The bases are included for information purposes only. They are not part of the technical Specifications, and they do not constitute limitations or requirements to which the licensee must adhere.
Furthermore, the dimensions, measurements and other numeric values given in these specifications may differ slightly from actual values because of normal construction and manufacturing tolerances, or normal degree of accuracy of the instrumentation.
