2.0 SAFETY LIMITS AND LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS 2.1 Safety Limits Safety limits for nuclear reactors are limits upon important process variables that are found to be necessary to reasonably protect the integrity of certain of the physical barriers that guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity.

The principal physical barrier shall be the fuel cladding.Applicability:

These specifications apply to the variables that affect thermal, hydraulic, and materials performance of the core.Obiective:

To ensure fuel cladding integrity.

Specifications:

(1) The fuel and cladding temperatures shall not exceed 986* F.(2) The specific resistivity of the primary coolant water shall not be less than 0.4 megohm-cm for periods of reactor operations over 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.Bases: Operating experiences and detailed calculations of Argonaut reactors and for the HEU to LEU conversion have demonstrated that Specification (1) suffices to maintain core flow conditions to assure no onset of nucleate boiling within the core and the fuel and fuel cladding below temperatures at which fuel degradation would occur. Specification (2) suffices to maintain adequate water quality conditions to prevent deterioration of the fuel cladding and still allow for expected transient changes in the water resistivity.

2.2 Limiting Safety System Settings Limiting safety system settings for nuclear reactors are settings for automatic protective devices related to those variables having significant safety functions.

Applicability:

These specifications are applicable to the reactor safety system set points.Obiective:

To ensure that automatic protective action is initiated before exceeding a safety limit or before creating a radioactive hazard that is not considered under safety limits.Amendment No. 26 4 September 1, 2006 Specifications:

The limiting safety system settings shall be (1) Power level at any flow rate shall not exceed 119 kW.(2) The primary coolant flow rate shall be (a) greater than 36 gpm at all power levels greater than 1 watt if the fuel coolant channel spacing tolerance is 15 mils.(b) greater than 41 gpm at all power levels greater than 1 watt if the fuel coolant channel spacing tolerance is 20 mils.(3) The average primary coolant (a) inlet temperature shall not exceed 109" F when the fuel coolant channel spacing tolerance is 10 mils.(b) inlet temperature shall not exceed 99" F when the fuel coolant channel spacing tolerance is_< 20 mils.(c) outlet temperature shall not exceed 155* F when measured at any fuel box outlet.(4) The reactor period shall not be faster than 3 sec.(5) The high voltage applied to Safety Channels 1 and 2 neutron chambers shall be 90% or more of the established normal value.(6) The primary coolant pump shall be energized during reactor operations.

(12) The water level in the shield tank shall not be reduced 6 in. below the established normal level.Bases: The University of Florida Training Reactor (UFTR) limiting safety system settings (LSSS) are established from operating experience and safety considerations.

The LSSS 2.2.3 (1) through (10) are established for the protection of the fuel, the fuel cladding, and the reactor core integrity.

The primary and secondary bulk coolant temperatures, as well as the outlet temperatures for the six fuel boxes, are monitored and recorded in the control room. LSSS 2.2.3 (11) are established for the protection of reactor personnel in relation to accumulation of argon-41 in the reactor cell and for the control of radioactive.gaseous effluents from the cell.

The operator has available digital blade position indicators for the three safety blades and the regulating blade.The three safety blades can only be manipulated by the UP-DOWN blade switches (manual);the regulating blade can be manually controlled or placed under automatic control, which uses the linear channel as the measuring channel, and a percent of power setting control. The two independent reactor safety channels provide redundant protection and information on reactor power in the range 1%-150% o f full power. The linear power channel is the most accurate neutron instrumentation channel, and provides a signal for reactor control in automatic mode.The percent of power information is displayed by the linear channel two-pen recorder.

It does not provide a protective function.

The log wide range drawer provides a series of information, inhibit, and protection function from extended source range to full power. The safety channel 1 signal and the period protection signal are derived from the wide range drawer.

5.3 Reactor Fuel Fuel elements shall be of the general MTR type, with thin fuel plates clad with aluminum and containing uranium fuel enriched to no more than about 19.75% U-235. The fuel matrix may be fabricated from uranium silicide-aluminum (U 3 Si 2-AI) using the powder metallurgy process..There shall be nominally 12.5 g of U-235 per fuel plate.The UFTR facility license authorizes the receiving, possession, and use of (1)(2)(3)up to 5.2 kg of contained uranium-235 a 1-Ci sealed plutonium-beryllium neutron source an up-to-25-Ci antimony-beryllium neutron source Other neutron and gamma sources may be used if their use does not constitute an unreviewed safety question pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 and if the sources meet the criteria established by the Technical Specifications.

5.4 Reactor Core The core shall contain up to 24 fuel assemblies of 14 plates each. Up to six of these assemblies may be replaced with pairs of partial assemblies.

Each partial assembly shall be composed of either all dummy or all fueled plates. A full assembly shall be replaced with no fewer than 13 plates in a pair of partial assemblies.

Fuel elements shall conform to these nominal specifications:

Item Specification Overall size (bundle)Clad thickness Plate thickness Water channel width Number of plates Plate attachment Fuel content per plate 2.845 in. x 2.26 in. x 25.6 in.0.015 in.0.050 in.0.111 in.standard fuel element -14 fueled plates partial element -no fewer than 13 plates in a pair of partial assemblies bolted with spacers 12.5 g U-235 nominal Amendment No. 26 September 1, 2006 23 The reactor core shall be loaded so that all fuel assembly positions are occupied.The fuel assemblies are contained in six aluminum boxes arranged in two parallel rows of three boxes each, separated by about 30 cm of graphite.

The fuel boxes are surrounded by a 5 ft x 5 ft x 5 ft reactor grade graphite assembly.The top of the fuel boxes are covered during operations at power above 1 kW, by the use of the shield plugs and/or gasketed aluminum covers secured to the top of the fuel boxes. The devices function to prevent physical damage of the fuel, to minimize evaporation/leakage of water from the top of the fuel boxes, and to minimize entrapment of argon in the coolant water for radiological protection purposes.5.5 Reactor Control and Safety Systems Design features of the components of the reactor control and safety systems that are important to safety, as specified under Section 3.2 of these Technical Specifications, are given below.5.5.1. Reactor Control System Reactivity control of the UFTR is provided by four control blades, three safety blades and one regulating blade. The control blades are of the swing-arm type consisting of four aluminum vanes tipped with cadmium, protected by magnesium shrouds. They operate in a vertical arc within the spaces between the fuel boxes. Blade motion is limited to a removal time of at least 100 sec and the insertion time under trip conditions is stipulated to be less than 1 sec. The reactor blade withdrawal interlock system prevents blade motion which will exceed the reactivity addition rate of 0.06% Ak/k per sec, as specified in these Technical Specifications.

The control blade drive system consists of a two-phase fractional horsepower motor that operates through a reduction gear train, and an electrically energized magnetic clutch that transmits a motor torque through the control blade shaft, allowing motion of the control blades. The blades are sustained in a raised position by means of this motor, acting through the electromagnetic clutch.Interruption of the magnetic current results in a decoupling of the motor drive from the blade drive shaft, causing the blades to fall back into the core. Position indicators, mechanically and electronically geared to the rod drives, transmit rod position information to the operator control console. Reactor shutdown also can be accomplished by voiding the moderator/coolant from the core. Two independent means of voiding the moderator/coolant from the core are provided: (1) water dump via the primary coolant system dump valve opening under full trip conditions (2) water dump via the rupture disk breaking under pressure conditions above design value The integral worths of the individual safety blades vary from about 1.3% to 2.0% Ak/k depending on position in the core and individual characteristics.

The regulating blade worth is about 0.6%-0.8%

Ak/k. The rod worths, drive speeds, and drop-time values are sufficiently conservative to ensure compliance with the Amendment No. 26 24 September 1, 2006 multirange pico-ammeter.

The pico-ammeter sends a signal to one channel of the two-pen recorder to display power level from source level to full power. It also sends a signal to the automatic flux controller which, in comparison with a signal from a percent of power setting control acts to establish and/or hold power level at a desired value.The rate of power increase is controlled by the action of a limiter in the linear channel/automatic control system which maintains the reactor period at or slower than 30 sec.5.6 Cooling Systems 5.6.1 Primary Cooling System The primary coolant is demineralized light water, which is normally circulated in a closed loop.The flow is from the 200-gal storage (dump) tank to the primary coolant pump; water is then pumped through the primary side of the heat exchanger and to the bottom of the fuel boxes, upward past the fuel plates to overflow pipes located about 6 in. above the fuel, and into a header for return to the storage tank. A purification loop is used to maintain primary water quality. The purification loop pump circulates about 1 gpm of primary water, drawn from the discharge side of the heat exchanger, through mixed-bed ion-exchange resins and a ceramic filter. The purification loop pump automatically shuts off when the primary coolant pump is operating, since flow through the purification system is maintained.

Primary coolant may be dumped from the reactor fuel boxes by opening an electrically operated solenoid dump valve, which routes the water to the dump tank. A pressure surge of about 2 lb above normal in the system also will result in a water dump by breaking a graphite rupture disc in the dump line.This drains the water to the primary equipment pit floor actuating an alarm in the control room.The primary coolant system is instrumented as follows: (1) thermocouples at each fuel box outlet and the main inlet and outlet (eight total), alarming and recording in the control room (2) a flow sensing device in main inlet line, alarming and displayed in the control room (3) a flow sensing device (no flow condition) in the outlet line, alarming in the control room (4) resistivity .probes monitoring the inlet and outlet reactor coolant flow, alarming and displayed in the control room (5) an equipment pit water level monitor, alarming in the control room The reactor power is calibrated annually by the use of the coolant flow and temperature measuring channels.5.6.2 Secondary Cooling System Two secondary cooling systems are normally operable in the UFTR: a well secondary cooling system and a city water secondary cooling system. The well secondary cooling system is the main system used for removal of reactor Amendment No. 26 26 September 1, 2006 (e) abnormal and significant degradation in reactor fuel, or cladding, or both, coolant boundary, or containment boundary (excluding minor leaks), where applicable, which could result in exceeding prescribed radiation exposure limits of personnel or environment or both (f) an observed inadequacy in the implementation of administrative or procedural controls such that the inadequacy causes or could have caused the existence or development of an unsafe condition with regard to reactor operations (g) a violation of the Technical Specifications or the facility license 6.6.3 Other Special Reports There shall be a written report sent to the Commission within 30 days of the following occurrences:

(1) permanent changes in facility organization involving Level 1, 2 or 3 personnel; (2) significant changes in the transient or accident analyses as described in the UFTR Safety Analysis Report dated January 1981 and in the HEU to LEU fuel conversion analyses.6.7 Records Records of the following activities shall be maintained and retained for the periods specified below. The records may be in the form of logs, data sheets, or other suitable forms. The required information may be contained in single, or multiple records, or a combination thereof.Recorder charts showing operating parameters of the reactor (i.e., power level, temperature, etc.) for unscheduled shutdown and significant unplanned transients shall be maintained for a minimum period of 2 years.6.7.1 Records To Be Retained for a Period of at Least Five Years (1) normal reactor facility operation (Supporting documents such as checklists, log sheets, etc. shall be maintained for a period of at least 1 year.)(2) principal maintenance operations

.(3) reportable occurrences (4) surveillance activities required by the Technical Specifications (5) reactor facility radiation and contamination surveys where required by applicable regulations (6) experiments performed with the reactor (7) fuel inventories, receipts, and shipments Amendment No. 26 38 September 1, 2006
