1.0 INTRODUCTION

9This progress report covers activities at the Missouri University of Science and Technology* Reactor (MSTR) Facility for the period April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.The reactor operates as a University facility. It is available to the faculty and students fromvarious departments of the University for their educational and research programs. Several other college* and pre-college institutions also make use of the facility. The reactor is also available for the training ofpersonnel from commercial concerns with legitimate interest in our facility use.01.1 Background Information*The Missouri University of Science and Technology Reactor (MSTR) (formally University of* Missouri-Rolla Reactor) attained initial criticality on December 9, 1961. The MSTR was the firstoperating nuclear reactor in the State of Missouri. The Bulk Shielding Reactor at Oak Ridge NationalLaboratory is the basis for the reactor's design. The reactor is a light water, open pool reactor cooled by* natural convective flow. The fuel is MTR plate-type fuel. The initial licensed power was 10 kW. The9 licensed power was up-graded to 200 kW in 1966. During the summer of 1992, the reactor fuel wasconverted from highly enriched uranium fuel to low-enriched uranium fuel.0*The facility is equipped with several experimental facilities including a beam port, thermalcolumn, three pneumatic rabbit systems, and several manual sample irradiation containers and systems.The facility also contains a counting laboratory that has both gamma and alpha spectroscopy capabilities.9 The gamma spectroscopy system includes germanium and sodium-iodide detectors, associatedelectronics, state-of-the-art data acquisition, and spectrum analysis software. The alpha spectroscopySsystem consists of a surface barrier detector and data acquisition equipment. Additionally, there is athermo luminance dosimeter reader, digital neutron radiography imager, and x-ray imager for student and* faculty usage.T~The MSTR also uses a biometric device to enhance its traditional security system.000S09 21.2 General Facility StatusThe MSTR operated safely and efficiently over the past year. No significant safety-relatedincidents or personnel exposures occurred.An independent auditor from the University of Columbia audited the reactor facility on December4, 2013. There were no significant areas of concern. There is an agreement between the MSTR and theUniversity of Missouri-Columbia to audit each other. This has been a very beneficial arrangement forboth facilities involved.The reactor staff has continued to review the operation of the reactor facility in an effort toimprove the safety and efficiency of its operation and to provide conditions conducive to its utilization bystudents and faculty. An "outreach" program, implemented over the past few years, has been continued inorder to let both students and faculty in a number of departments across campus know that the reactorcould be used to enhance course work and research. As a result, additional classes have been using thereactor facility to augment their programs, including:1. Chemistry 2, 'General Chemisty Laboratory'2 Civil Engineering 310, 'Senior Design Class'3. Engineering Management 386, 'Safety Engineering Management'4. Mechanical Engineering 229, 'Energy Conversion'5. Life Sciences 352, 'Biological Effects of Radiation'6 Physics 107, 'Modem Physics'7.

The number of Missouri S&T students utilizing the facility was 1,404. This usage is adirect result of an aggressive and continuing campus wide "outreach" program. The reactor facility* provided financial support for six students with hourly wages. Additionally, students from severaluniversities, colleges and high schools have used the facility.Table 4-1 lists Missouri S&T classes taught at the facility along with associated reactor usagefor this reporting period.The Reactor Sharing Program, previously funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, wasestablished for colleges, universities, and high schools that do not have a nuclear reactor. This past year,* 1,660 students and instructors from 140 institutions.participated in the program. Table 4-2 lists thoseschools and groups that were involved in this year's Reactor Sharing Program. The majority ofparticipants were high school students. MSTR coordinates with the Missouri S&T Admissions Office toschedule high school students to see other items of interest at Missouri S&T after they have visited the* reactor facility. The students visited the Missouri S&T Chapter of American Nuclear Society, theComputer Integrated Manufacturing Lab, the Foundry, Ceramics Engineering, Mineral Museum,Computer Center, Experimental Mine, Solar Car, Electron Microscope, and Stonehenge. The Reactor* Sharing Program serves as a strong campus-wide recruiting tool by attracting high school students to theuniversity and hopefully sparking some interest in nuclear engineering, science, and technology.The reactor staff continues to educate the public about applications of nuclear science. Over* 2,446 persons visited the facility during this reporting period. Tour groups are typically given a brief9orientation and/or demonstration by a member of the reactor staff.SS 0000000000900009000,900000014Table 4-1 Missouri S&T Classes at Reactor FacilitySemester CLASS NUMBERITITLE # OF TIME AT STUDENTSSTUDENTSREACTOR HOURS2013-2014 Graduate Student's Project 5 234 1170SS2013 NE 206 20 12 240SS2013 NE 308 28 129.5 25904/8/2013 NE 25 Lab 17 1.5 264/22/2013 NE 312 15 2.5 384/24/2013 NE 312 15 2.5 384/25/2014 NE 312 10 2.5 255/14/2014 NE 25 Power Changes 5 1 5FS 2013 NE 206 26 10 2609/4/2013 NE 25 Tour 3 1 39/5/2013 NE 25 Tour 9 1 99/6/2013 NE 25 Tour 9 1 9FS 2013 NE 304 34 36 122412/2/2013 NE 25 Power change 9 2 1812/4/2013 NE 25 Power change 2 2 4SS2014 NE 206 26 84 2184SS2014 NE 308 labs 20 38.5 7702/10/2014 NE 25 Tour 22 1 222/13/2014 NE 25 Tour 10 1 103/17/2014 NE 25 Lab 22 1 223/20/2014 NE 25 Lab 6 1 63/18/2014 NE 312 15 1 153/19/2014 NE 312 26 1 263/20/2014 NE 312 12 1 12_ _TOTAL 366 568 8726 09900S000000000000900000S15Table 4-2 Reactor Sharing Program 2013-2014 (Reporting Period)Date Participants Number Hours4/2013 Visitor's 17 4.54/15-4/18 Chem labs for Spring semester 2013 252 7.54/23/2013 Tour MET class 348/448 10 14/29/2013 Mountain Grove School 5 15/17/2013 Tour for families and students before graduation 21 45/16/13 Army Tour 2 16/2013 Visitor's 7 16/6/2013 Minority Introduction to Engineering 23 16/11/2013 Jackling Introduction to Engineering 18 1.56/13/2013 Jackling Introduction to Engineering 23 1.56/17/2013 Nuclear Engineering Camp (4 groups) 38 26/18/2013 Nuclear Engineering Camp (4 groups) 38 3.56/19/2013 Nuclear Engineering Camp (4 groups) 25 26/20/2013 Minority Introduction to Engineering 23 16/20/2013 Nuclear Engineering Camp (4 groups) 38 26/25/2013 Jackling Camp 18 1.56/27/2013 Jackling Camp 22 3.57/2013 Visitor's 12 2.57/9/2013 Jackling Camp 20 3.57/9/2013 Chemical Engineering Fort Leonard Wood School 23 1.57/11/2013 Jackling Camp 24 3.57/18/2013 Dr. Dewoski Class 6 1 00009000000900009009S000168/2013 Visitor's 6 18/13/2013 Video People 5 1.008/19/2013 Video People 3 .59/2013 Visitor's 7 3.59/10/2013 Tour with Walt Branson 1 .510/2013 Visitor's 13 811/5/2013 IT 1 111/6/2013 Physical Facilities 1 111/7/2013 Seymour and Norwood Schools 23 111/13/2013 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Testing 1 611/13/13 Chem labs 786 1812/3/2013 Offsite Meeting 9 112/3/13 Tour Health Class 5 112/5/2013 Tour Mansfield High School 2 612/5/2013 MURR Inspection 1 1612/9/2013 Training a person on control panel 1 612/10/2013 Computer Tech working in control room 1 81/20/2014 Visitor's 1 .51/13/2014 CDG Group 4 11/15/2014 Climax High School 21 1.51/21/2014 Group meeting on Security 14 62/2014 Visitors 6 22/12/2014 Home School Students 27 12/15/14 Boy Scout Tour 19 12/25/2014 Chemical Engineering Fort Leonard Wood School 19 1.52/26/2014 IT to test equipment 2 12/26/2014 Contractors for Asbestos removal 12 13/2014 Visitor's 4 1.5TOTAL 1660 149 06 17* 5.0 REACTOR HEALTH PHYSICS ACTIVITIES0* The health physics activities at the Missouri S&T Reactor facility consist primarily of radiation0 and contamination surveys, monitoring of personnel exposures, airborne activity, pool water activity, and0 waste disposal. Releases of all by-product material to authorized, licensed recipients are surveyed and0 recorded. In addition, health physics activities include calibrations of portable and stationary radiationdetection instruments, personnel training, special surveys and monitoring of non-routine procedures.005.1. Routine Surveys0Monthly radiation exposure surveys of the facility consist of direct gamma and neutronmeasurements. No unusual exposure rates were identified. Monthly surface contamination surveys* consist of 20 to 40 swipes counted separately for alpha and beta/gamma activity. No significantcontamination outside of contained work areas was found.905.2. By-Product Material Release SurveysThere were no shipments of by-product material released off-campus. There were three by-product releases on campus.0S5.3. Routine Monitoring9Sixty-six reactor facility personnel and students involved with the operations in the reactor* facility are currently assigned Luxel, Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dosimeters. Three of theReactor Staff have beta, gamma, neutron dosimeters which are read twice monthly. There are four areabeta, gamma, neutron dosimeters and two TLD ring dosimeters, which are also read twice monthly.SThere are also four other beta, gamma, neutron dosimeters used by the health physics personnel and threeSother area beta, gamma, neutron dosimeters that are read monthly. The remaining dosimeters detect betaand gamma radiation only and are read monthly. There are seventeen area dosimeters assigned onSSS

• 180campus for beta and gamma monitoring and one for beta, gamma, and neutron monitoring. In addition,* six digital, direct-reading dosimeters and three chirper dosimeters are used for visitors and high radiationwork. There have been no significant personnel exposures during this reporting period. Visitors are0 monitored with direct reading dosimeters. No visitors received any reportable or significant exposure.0Airborne activity in the reactor bay is monitored by a fixed-filter, particulate continuous air9 monitor (CAM). Low levels of Argon-41 are routinely produced during operations.0*Pool water activity is monitored monthly to ensure that no gross pool contamination or fuelcladding rupture has occurred. Gross counts and spectra of long-lived gamma activity are compared toprevious monthly counts. From April 2013 through March 2014 sample concentrations averaged* 1.71x10i pCi/ml.0*Release of gaseous Ar-41 activity through the building exhausts is determined by relating the0 operating times of the exhaust fans and reactor power during fan operation to previously measured airactivity at maximum reactor power. During this period, an estimated 61,966.39 pCi of Ar-41 was.released into the air.95.4. Waste Disposal0Solid waste, including used water filters, used resins, and contaminated paper/gloves is storedand/or transferred to the campus waste storage area for later shipment to a commercial burial site. Wateris analyzed for radioactive contamination and approval is required before the water is released. During0 this period there were three waste barrels transferred from the reactor facility to the DMSF on campus.905.5. Instrument Calibrations0During this period, portable instruments and area monitors were calibrated annually.S0S0S0S 0*19o0* 6.0 PLANS0The reactor staff will be involved in several major projects during the next reporting period; 1)development of a distant education program, 2) replacement of reactor building's heating system, 3)* modeling the gamma spectroscopy of the reactor core, 4) Global Threat Reduction Initiative securityenhancements, and 5) continuation of the reactor operator training program.S06.1 Distant EducationA distant education system is being developed to conduct laboratory sessions with students of theMissouri S&T Campus and other universities. Due to the size of the Missouri S&T Nuclear Engineeringclasses, the distant education system will allow students to participate in lab sessions as one group in* larger classrooms than what is available in the MSTR building.5 Equipment has been installed to replace the existing rod drive motors and rod height indicators tooutput rod height information over the internet. Additional programing and minor wiring is beingcompleted to output control room instrumentation to be viewed live as the labs are taking place.Audio/video equipment is ready to use for students to watch reactor staff performing the labs, ask0 questions to the staff and obtain data from the control room instrumentation.oS6.2 Replacement of the Reactor Buildinz's Heating SystemS The Missouri S&T campus has been constructing a geo-thermal heating system for many of thecampus buildings. Three geo-thermal power plants will obtain heat from the ground pipe it to other9buildings. The coal power plant providing steam heat to many buildings including the MSTR will be* permanently shut down in the spring of 2014. The MSTR is not one of the buildings that will be heated* with the geo-thermal system. During the summer of 2014 the reactor building will have the steam heaters* replaced with natural gas heaters. Additional maintenance will be performed to replace existing circuitSbreaker panels and ceiling lighting located in the reactor bay while the heating system is changed out.S000oS 206.3 Modeling the Gamma Spectrocopy of the Reactor CoreA dry-well container is being built to hold a sodium iodide detector. This detector will be placenear the reactor core to obtain gamma spectrum readings from individual fuel elements. The gammareadings will be used by the Nuclear Engineering department a private firm to create a computer model ofthe MSTR core. Computer models do exist of the MSTR core, but no gamma spectrum data has beentaken from the fuel and used in previous models.6.4 Global Threat Reduction Initiative Security EnhancementsThe Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will enhance security of the MSTR under theGlobal Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) Program.6.5 Reactor Operator TrainingThe MSTR had four students obtain their license of Reactor Operator. The reactor staff is limitingoperator training to only students with a very strong desire to obtain the license and assist reactor staffwith reactor operations. At the end of the reporting period ten students were training for an operator'slicense to take in the fall of 2014 and four for their Senior Reactor Operator upgrade.

0*** MISSOURI S&T REACTOR STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES ***SOP: 813 TITLE: ROD DROP TIME MEASUREMENTComplete Revision: September 5, 2013 Page 1 of 30 A. PURPOSE0 To provide instructions for determining accurate and consistent control rod drop times.B. PRECAUTIONS, PREREQUISITES, OR LIMITATIONS01. Complete a Pre-Startup Checklist prior to withdrawing rods unless core loading isbelow 50% critical mass.2. Rods shall only be withdrawn one at a time for the purpose of these tests.3. The rod drop time for each rod must be less than 1 second. If the rod drop time exceeds0 1 second the rod shall be visually inspected for pitting and cracking.4. Rod drop times must be measured a) semiannually, b) when a control assembly ismoved to a new core position, c) when a magnet assembly has been removed, and d)after rod visual inspections. (Tech. Spec. 4.2.1.)* C. PROCEDURE*' EQUIPMENT NEEDED:*1. Tenma model 72-8385 (or equivalent) oscilloscope*) 2. MicrophoneS"3. BNC cable*4. Duct tape00* STEPS:01 1. Tape microphone onto one of the rod shrouds.0 2. Connect microphone to channel I input jack of the scope.* 3. Connect BNC cable from channel 2 input of the scope to the rod drop BNC*located behind the startup channel.* 4. Perform reactor Pre-Startup Checklist as required.*5. Raise each rod 3 inches.* 6. Determine the drop current for each rod by slowly reducing magnet current untilrod drops. Record the drop currents on the rod drop measurement form.0 7. Insert all rods to 0.0 inchesi 8. Set magnet current for each magnet about 20 mAmps above drop current.00 Written By: Ray Kendrick Approved By: William Bonzer0
