As part of the license renewal process for the University of Missouri at Columbia, Research Reactor (MURR), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed your response to our request for additional information dated January 28, 2015, describing the I-131 Processing Laboratory, Attachment No. 25 (although portions of this system are considered proprietary, a public version, where proprietary information has been redacted, is available on the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15034A474).

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT COLUMBIA - ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE LIMIT FOR THE QUANTITY OF IODINE PROCESSED IN THE

IODINE PROCESSING LABORATORY HOT CELLS FOR FACILITY OPERATING

LICENSE NO. R-103 FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT COLUMBIA

RESEARCH REACTOR (TAC NO. ME1580)

Dear Mr. Butler:

As part of the license renewal process for the University of Missouri at Columbia, Research

Reactor (MURR), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed your response

to our request for additional information dated January 28, 2015, describing the I-131

Processing Laboratory, Attachment No. 25 (although portions of this system are considered

proprietary, a public version, where proprietary information has been redacted, is available on the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15034A474). NRC Headquarters inspectors reviewed the I-131 Processing Laboratory

during a routine inspection conducted from March 30 through April 2, 2015, and documented

their findings in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-186/2015-201 (ADAMS Accession No.

ML15120A338). An Unresolved Item No. 50-186/2015-201-01 was issued to provide for

additional NRC staff review. NRC Research and Test Reactor Licensing branch staff visited the

facility on May 12-13, 2015, as part of their review of the renewal of the MURR facility operating

license, and also reviewed the I-131 Processing Laboratory.

Following these additional reviews, the NRC staff conducted a telephone conversation on

May 28, 2015, between MURR staff: Mr. Les Foyto, and Mr. John Fruits, and NRC staff:

Dr. Mirela Gavrilas, Mr. Alexander Adams, Jr., Dr. Kevin Hsueh, Mr. John Adams, Mr. Johnny

Eades, and Mr. Geoffrey Wertz. During this telephone call, the NRC staff communicated that it

appears that additional safety review is necessary in order to determine if any engineered safety features, automated control systems, or additional technical specifications should be required

during the operation of the I-131 Processing Laboratory to ensure that any accident scenario

could not result in a dose consequence greater than the limits provided in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation." As a result, MURR staff decided to limit the iodine production in the hot cells to less than allowed by

current MURR technical specification 3.7 and 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B. Confirmation of this

understanding was provided by an email from Mr.

Les Foyto to Mr. Geoffrey Wertz (ADAMS Accession No. ML15154B803), dated May 28, 2015.

Please notify me immediately if your understanding differs from what is set forth above or if for

any reason you intend to change, deviate from or not complete any of the actions set forth above, and advise me of the changes or deviations.

R. Butler

Be advised this letter does not preclude issuance of an order formalizing the above

commitments or requiring other actions on the part of the licensee, nor does it preclude the NRC

from taking enforcement action for violations of NRC requirements that may have prompted the

issuance of this letter.

In accordance with 10 CFR, Section 2.390, "Public inspections, exemptions, requests for

withholding," a copy of this letter, and your re sponse, if you choose to provide one, will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room and in ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html

. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the public without redaction. If personal privacy

or proprietary information is necessary to pr ovide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a

redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of

such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld, and provide in detail the bases for your claim of withholding (e.g., explain why the

disclosure of information will create an unwarrant ed invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.390(b) to support a request for withholding confidential

commercial or financial information).

If you have any questions regarding this review

, please contact Mr. Geoffrey Wertz at (301) 415-0893, or by e-mail at Geoffrey.Wertz@nrc.gov
