University of California, Irvine

Irvine, California 92717

Attention: Professor J. L. McGaugh

Executive Vice Chancellor

Gentlemen:

Subject:

NRC Inspection Report 50-326/80-01

This is in reply to your letter dated July 24, 1980, which responded to our

letter and Notice of Violation of July 3,1980.

>

After careful consideration of your response and after discussions with

Mr. Harold Bernard, NRC Project Manager for the U.C. Irvine TRIGA Reactor,

we have concluded that the action you took, as described in Item B.(1)(b)

of your letter dated July 24, 1980, to correct an item of noncompliance

described in our Notice of Violation is not sufficient to avoid further

violations of a similar natura.

The action you took was to amend your operating procedures to delete any

reference to the frequency at which the Committee is required to review

reactor operations.

It is our position that your procedures should specify

a frequency for Committee review, and that the frequency for such reviews

must be at least once every twelve months.

In consideration of the above, with regard to the Notice of Violation which

was sent to you on July 3,1980, p%sp provide to this office within

ten days of the date of receipt of this letter an additional written state-

ment or explanation in reply f aciuding:

(1) corrective steps 'vhich have

been taken by you and the results achieved; (2) corrective ste , which will

be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when ftAl compliance

will be achieved.

.Should you' have any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to

discuss them with you.

Since ely,
