UniversityofUtah License R-25 Docket #50 72 :
A. FacilityModifications: None B. Results ofTests and Inspections:
Tests concerning the reactor structure (Section 4.4) were continued as recommended by the Reactor Safety Committee. These inspections revealed no water leakage, no excessive corrosion, and no unusual radiation. Annual Checks were started in February. The tests were terminated beca.ase of a power channel failure. Replacement parts for the power channel electrical circuit were ordered, but not received by the end of the reporting pedod.The power channels have'been npaired and annual tests will be completed when the contml system is returned to normaloperation.
C. CorrectiveMaintenance:
The defective power channel has been repaind and a rod drop measurement circuit is being designed and installed to measure ore drop times as required under the annual maintenance tests. Maintenance testing is incomplete at the end of the 1 present repuding period.
D. EnergyProduced: None E. UnsheduledShutdowns: None F. ReactorSafety Committee Action:
- 1. Personnel radiation exposures and radiation surveys were reviewed and approved.
- 2. Reactor Safety Committee members were modified to include the following:
C.G. Bryner. Reactor Administrator G.M.Sandquist. Reactor Supervisor K. Schiager. Radiation Safety Officer K.C. Crawford- Senior Reactor Engineer R.D. Lloyd J.M. Byrne C. Giddings P.Sheehan G. Summary of Changes (10 CFR 50.59): None H. RepodableOccurrences: None Repod submitted by:
