I have askeil Dr. Albert E. Wilson, Reactor Sopervisor for the ISU AGN-201 nuclear reactor, to prepare a response to the Notice of i violation enclosed with your letter of March 12, 1987. His re-port is attached.
I concur with the conclusions and recommendations contained in Dr. Wilson's response. I have appointed Dr. Wilson to the posi-tion of Reactor Administrator and have asked that he assume
. responsibility for ensuring that his recommendations are carried out.
Should you have any questions concerning his report I would request that you contact him at (208) 236-2902. If I can be of -
further assistance, please let me know.

PROPOSED REPONSE TO NRC NOTICE OF VIOLATION Prepared by Albert E. Wilson Reactor Supervisor Reference: Docket No. 50-284/87-01 Letter from J.E. Gagliardo, 3/12/87
.
The following response to the NRC Notice of Violation as set forth in appendix A of the letter from J.E. Gagliardo, Chief, Reactor Projects Branch, is submitted for consideration and ap-proval of the central administration of Idaho State University.
It should answer all of the questions concerning violation of Technical Specifications raised during the NRC inspection con-ducted February 4-6, 1987.
A. Reactor Administrator Qualifications This violation occurred when facility staffing was reduced below the minimum deemed suitable for continued operation. During the -
1984-85 academic year, Dr. A.E. Wilson, who holds a valid SRO
'
License, was on leave of absence to obtain additional profes-sional experience at a commercial nuclear power plant. The only other licensed SRO at the facility, Terry Smith, resigned to ac-capt a position at Los Alamos National Laboratory. A formerly licensed SRO, Jerry Ramsay, was re-examined and had his license reinstated. However, Mr. Ramsay was not a full time employee of the University, and'it was deemed by the Reactor Safety Committee that it would be advisable to have a Reactor Administrator who was at the facility full time. Unfortunately, the decision was not documented and the request for a change in Technical Specifications, which would have been required to implement the decision, was never submitted. For these reasons, the violation -
occurred.
The Reactor Safety Committee met on April 3, 1987 to review the findings of the NRC inspection and make recommendations for resolution of the findings. Their recommendation was two-fold:
1) that Dr. A.E. Wilson be appointed as Reactor' Administrator (in addition to his position of Reactor Supervisor) since he has a valid NRC SRO license and has returned to full time duties at ISU, and 2) that a request for a change in Technical Specifica-tions be prepared to eliminate the SRO requirement from the Reac-tor Administrator position. The change requested will provide more flexibility in the future and prevent future violations of this type.
Facility staffing has been completed. Two more persons are pre-pared to take the NRC SRO exam and two to take the RO exam.
These exams will be given the week of April 13, 1987. Assuming-1-

1 that at least one person passes the SRO exam, there will be ade-
quate qualified staff to satisfy present Technical Specifications.
Even so, a change in Technical Specifications will be requested
so that staff qualification requirements will conform with ANSI /
ANS-15.4-1977 (N380), " Selection and Training of Personnel for Research Reactors." According to that document, the Reactor Ad-
- ministrator should meet Level Two qualifications which do not include license or certification as an operator.
.
l Compliance with present Technical Specifications was achieved on
'
April 10, 1987, when Dr. A.E. Wilson was appointed Reactor Administrator.
.
- Full compliance with the intent of ANSI /ANS-15.4 (1977) will be
- achieved when the change in Technical Specifications is approved
- and implemented.

B. Failure to Post High Radiation Areas t
'
one of the areas, adjacent to the side of the reactor, was posted
- as a radiation area. The other, on the top, was not posted but i the entire lab is posted as a radiation area when the reactor is i in operation or when maintenance is being performed. An ad-i ministrative control was in effect whenever the reactor was being-
! operated that neither of the areas could be entered without
!
-
operator permission. When permission was granted the operator l would inform the person entering of the possible radiation and
! require that a hand-held radiation monitor be carried into the i area. It is apparent, on review of the applicable regulations, i
that this procedure is not adequate when the reactor is operating
[ above 3 watts. After being advised of this fact by the NRC In-l
'
spector both areas were immediately posted as "High Radiation Areas" by hand lettering the word "High" on existing radiation
' area signs. Permanent, metal signs which comply with the re-quirements of 10 CFR Part 203(c) were ordered. These new signs have been received and are now installed. The signs are hung on chains across the entry to each of the two mentioned areas. Such _,,
posting is very conspicuous since the chain must be removed to gain access. The administrative control requiring operator per-mission for entry is still in effect.
Full compliance was achieved on March 16, 1987, when the new chains and signs were installed.
The operating procedure will be modified to indicate which bar-riers must be in place prior to reactor operation. This pro-cedure, and the check sheet which accompanies it, will prevent future violations.
C. Failure to Submit Annual Operating Report The Annual Operating Report for 1985 was submitted approximately four and one half months late. The missed date was due, in large part, to a change in facility personnel. The position of Reactor-2-
