Dear Mr.Boyle:

This letter and the enclosures constitute the annual report required by the RINSC Technical Specifications (Section 6.7.1).Enclosure 1 provides reactor operating statistics. provides information pertaining to unscheduled reactor shutdowns or scrams.Enclosure 3 discusses maintenance operations performed during the reporting period.Enclosure 4 describes changes to the facility carried out under the conditions of Section 50.59 of Chapter 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Lastly, Enclosure 5 summarizes the radiological controls information.

If there are any questions regarding this information, please call me at 401-874-9442.

ENCLOSURE 3 MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS Technical Specification 6.7.1.3 requires a listing of the major maintenance operations performed in the 2016-2017 reporting period including their impact upon the safe operation of the reactor and the reasons for the corrective maintenance.

The new stack radiation monitor was installed.

The new monitor is a significant upgrade and has the latest technology and far more capabilities than the old monitor.The current plan is that it will be placed in service as the primary stack monitor as soon as it has been made capable of indicating in the control room and the old monitor will continue to be maintained as a backup for as long as it continues to remain functional.

The Inlet Temperature Scram was implemented to comply with the new RINSe Technical Specifications that were approved as part of the re-licensing effort.

ENCLOSURE 4 FACILITY CHANGES-10CFR50.59 REVIEW Technical Specification 6.7.1.4 requires that we provide a listing and description of any 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations conducted during the 2016-2017 reporting period.A 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was performed on the following facility changes:*New stack radiation monitor*Inlet Temperature Scram implemented, Outlet Temperature Scram eliminated to comply with the new TS requirements.

  • Area Radiation Monitor upgrade.Note: This screened out as no review required, however, at the last NRC inspection visit, it was strongly recommended that we do a review.After completing the review, a conference call was held to try to understand why we were asked to complete a review on something that clearly screened out as no review required.After coming to a better understanding of the configuration and operation of our facility, it was agreed that a review was not necessary or required.All three of these 50.59 reviews are attached.

ENCLOSURE 5 RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS 1.Environmental Surveys outside the Facility-Technical Specification 6.7.1.6 Quarterly TLD1 badges are deployed outside the reactor building in three separate locations.

The quarterly doses in units of mrem are shown in the table below.LOCATION 3 rd QTR 4 th QTR 1 st QTR 2 nd QTR2016201620172017 Northeast Wall 8 4 a 16 Demineralizer Door 53 59 75 390 Heat Exchanger Door 26 39 53 171 The general public does not frequent these locations and therefore occupancy factors may be used to approximate annual dose.The allowable annual external dose must be below 100 mrem per year.Assuming that the maximum time that a member of the general public would be present in one of these locations is 10 minutes per day, an occupancy factor of 0.025 can be used to obtain the annual dose that would be received by a member of the general public, in any of these areas.The annual dose at the Northeast Wall, Demineralizer and Heat Exchanger Doors is dependent on the operations schedule of the reactor.Ignoring the fact that the dose rate is not present 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day, and applying the occupancy factor of 0.025 2 , the annual dose that would be receive by an individual in the demineralizer room would be 14.43 mrem.The dose received at the Heat Exchanger Door would be 7.23 mrem.The annual dose received at the Northeast wall would be 0.7 mrem.The variations from quarter to quarter and from previous reports are also due in part to movements of items within the reactor building during the fiscal year and varying use of the different irradiation facilities.

2.Annual Exposures Exceeding 500 mrem for facility members, 100 mrem for non-staff members or 10 mrem for members of the general public-Technical Specification 6.7.1.7 There were no personnel exposures greater than Technical Specification 6.7.1.7.requirements.

lThermoluminescent Dosimeter; Mirion Technology reads the dosimeters at minimum of 1 mrem.2 Occupancy factor was changed from 0.01 to 0.025.0.01 was derived using occupancy factor and use factor (it was assumed that the reactor is not running 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> every day).We will use 0.025, from NCRP 147 for Outdoors, unattended parking lots, attics, stairways, unattended elevators, janitor's closets.0.025 is more conservative number than 0.01.

3.Radioactive Effluents-Technical Specification 6.7.1.5 A.Individual gaseous effluent concentrations for each reactor operation are recorded on the Monthly Information Sheets (Form NSC-78).The concentration of radioactive materials in the effluent released from the facility exhaust stacks shall not exceed 1 E+05 times concentrations specified in 1 OCFR20, Appendix B, Table II, when averaged overtimeperiods permitted by 1 OCFR20.3 Gamma spectroscopy of stack gas samples has shown that the principal gaseous effluent is Argon-41.The maximum concentration for this principle contaminant permitted under Technical Specifications is 1 E-8 IJCi/cc x1 E+5=1 E-3 IJCi/cc.Average concentrations released during the year were less than 0.0683 of the limit.The total Argon-41 release during the reporting period was 149.54 curies.The calculated effective dose equivalent for this release is 3 mrem/year (COMPLY Code).The Comply Code report is attached.B.Liquid effluent concentrations released to the environment are documented on the Sewer Discharge Report (NSC-09).Each release was approved prior to discharge with its pH being within the acceptable range and with the sum of the fractions of the respective radioisotopes per month being below the discharge limit of 1.For the reporting period, the total volume of discharge was 1.84E7 ml.The isotopes and their relative activities discharged are given below.Radioisotope Total Activity Discharged (microcuries)
