reactor operation if personnel are in the irradiated volume, (2) controlling
airborne radioactive materials, (3) maintaining acceptable biological
shielding in occupied areas, (4) limiting effects on reactivity due to changes
of experiments within the irradiated volume to values found acceptable,
and (5) when applicable, automatically shutting down the reactor if the
reactor or shielding is moved during operation.-
Reiew Procedures
The reviewer should evaluate the following:
* The purposes and projected uses of the reactor facility for experimental
programs.
* The experimental facilities and the other related reactor systems to
.determine if they are designed with comparable engineering expertise and
emphasis on safety.
* The failure and malfunction modes of experimental facilities and
consequences to the reactor, the staff the experimenters, and the public.
* The analyses of potential hazards to the reactor, users, and public from
experimental facilities during normal operations and accidents and the
production and release of radioactive materials, including argon-41. The
reviewer can evaluate effluents from experimental facilities as part of the
review of Chapter 1I of the SAR.
* The analyses of how postulated reactor accidents affect the experimental
facilities and their experiment contents.
Evaluation Findings
This section of the SAR should contain sufficient information to support the
following types of conclusions, which will be included in the staffs safety
evaluation report:
* Planned operation and utilization ofthe experinefital facility will not
exceed the limiting safety system setting or limiting condition for operation
of the technical specification requirements for the reactor facility during
normal operations. The applicant has proposed and justified acceptable
technical specifications for the experimental facilities.
* The design and functional information in the SAR gives reasonable
assurance that the experimental facility is capable of retaining necessary
