2015 ANNUAL REPORT Docket Number 50-607 License Number R-130 UCD/MNRC ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2015 1. Introduction The University of California, Davis, McClellan Nuclear Research Center (MNRC) consists of a research

reactor, associated radiography and positioning equipment, and a wide variety of equipment to support broad-based research activities

. This MNRC Annual Report is published each year in support of the license provided by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The aforementioned license is for the operation of a steady-state TRIGAŽ reactor with pulsing and square wave capability.

It is the primary intent of this document to provide information relevant to the safe operation of the UCD/MNRC.

A brief description of the MNRC facility and administration is followed by operational events and health physics information concerning this facility during CY 2015. 2. UCD/MNRC Facility Description The UCD/MNRC is located on the McClellan Industrial Park site; the reactor is housed in Building 258. The McClellan Industrial Park site is approximately 2600 acres, located eight miles northeast of Sacramento, California.

The UCD/MNRC facility is a three level 14,720 sq. ft. rectangular-shaped enclosure that surrounds a 2 MW research reactor.

The UCD/MNRC provides four neutron beams to four bays for radiography and other research and commercia l activities

. All four bays are capable of using radiography film techniques

, but Bays l and 3 normally use electronic imaging devices.

Space, shielding and environmental controls are provided by the enclosure for neutron radiography operations performed on a variety of samples. Adequate room has been provided to handle the components in a safe manner. In addition to the radiography bays, the UCD/MNRC reactor also has several in-core facilities ranging from a pneumatic tube system to a central irradiation facility. For more detailed information on the UCD/MNRC project, the reader is referred to the UCD/MNRC Safety Analysis Report. 3.0 UCD/MNRC Administration UCD/MNRC Organization. The UCD/MNRC is licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory commission (NRC) to operate under the provisions of operating license R-130. The University of California Regents have designated the Chancellor at UC Davis to be the license holder. The UCO Chancellor has in-turn delegated the Vice Chancellor for Research to be the licensee of record. The UCD/MNRC is under the direction of the UCD/MNRC Director.

During 2015, there was 1 reported anomaly at the MNRC facility and no Radiological Incident Investigations. The specifics are listed below: There was one anomaly reported in the month of October. The report is as follows:

Anomaly Report For: AC-10 Failure Time: Unknown 10/4/15 (Sunday)

Reactor conditions prior to the anomaly and what occurred during the anomaly:

Rx was shut down for the weekend. At 2151 on Sunday, 10/4, the console alarmed for "Scram CSC-DIS064 Timeout". SRO responded (see log entry 10/4/15 2300). Upon opening on Monday morning, the control room was 84°F instead of 72°F and the console was alarming; alarms would not acknowledge; rebooting the console did not fix the problem; placed the console in Utilities mode. It was noted at the Temperature Control Panel that AC-10, the unit that cools the Control Room, was not running. A portable fan was brought in to provide temporary cooling.

Inspection of AC-10 showed the unit on, the condenser fan was not running and fan and housing were very hot to the touch. The unit was shut off at its local disconnect

. After about 30 seconds, it was attempted to restart the unit, which it did not. The unit was left off. After discussion with the building

manager, it was suggested to try restarting after the unit had been off for 10 minutes.

At this time, the unit had been off approximately 20 minutes. Before restarting, the fan was spun manually to be sure it would move, which it did. The unit was restarted successfully.

The control room immediately began to cool off. When the temperature reached 76°F, the console was returned to normal. All unusual alarms cleared.

A Startup Checklist was performed successfully.

The reactor was started at 0922 to 1 MW for radiography

. At 1330, the contractor arrived to repair the AC unit. After determining that radiography required only about 15 minutes more, the AC unit was shut off for repairs.

At 1400, prior to hourly readings, the control rods were leveled successfully

. At 1430, the reactor was attempted to be shutdown normally.

At this time, the temperature in the control room was up to 79°F. The reactor mode was switched to Manual, and all six control rods Down buttons were pressed. Shim 2 began to drive in, but the other rods did not appear to move. The reactor was manually scrammed from the console, and the direct reading instruments showed the reactor was shut down. Visual inspection confirmed the magnets were indeed all down, but the indications on the console were frozen. UCD/MNRC Annulll RllpOrt 2015 5 UCD/MNRC ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2015 7.3 January February March At 1545, the repairs on AC-10 were competed, the unit restarted, and the control room was cooled down to normal. The console responded

normally, and once the key was used to energize the magnets, all indications returned to normal. A Prestart Check was performed successfully.

Actions to correct the Anomaly:

Contractor was sent to troubleshoot unit. Portable fan was used to cool the control room during repairs. Actions to prevent reoccurrence:

Contractor replaced units' condenser motor/starting capacitor and controller.
