NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

CHAEW 16
* Requirements for reporting misadministrations to NRC should be
discussed. The NRC staff has accepted 24-hour oral notice with a written
report within 15 days. Records of recordable events should be maintained
for 5 years.
* The applicant should discuss control of repair, maintenance, and
modification activities.
* The applicant should discuss training requirements as outlined in the format
and content guide.
* The applicant should submit a quality management program that covers the
topics outlined in the format and content guide.
* The applicant should discuss other procedures pertaining to treatment that
involve the reactor. This includes measurements of boron content in blood
and tissue. Requirements for calibration and surveillance of equipment to
ensure proper operability should be stated.
If the primary scram method is out of service in the medical therapy treatment
facility control area; the applicant may propose the temporary use of the
communications link with the control room to ask the operator to scram the
reactor. If the primary method to indicate the status of the systems used to cut off K)
the beam is out of service, the applicant may propose a temporary alternative. If
the radiation monitor in the medical therapy treatment room is out of service, the
applicant may propose a temporary alternative method of monitoring radiation in
the room. In these cases, the use of the temporary alternative should be limited to
a short period of time (e.g., no more than 10 working days).
Review Procedues
If the applicant needs to make major modifications to the reactor facility that
require the issuance of a construction permit, the reviewer should use other
applicable chapters of this standard review plan to evaluate those changes. For
example, changes to the reactor core would be reviewed using Chapter 4, 'Reactor
Description." The reviewer should consult the Medical, Academic, and
Commercial Use Safety Branch in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and
Safeguards during the review of the application, particularly for the quality
management program and aspects of the application that deal with medical issues
(e.g., definitions of recordable events and misadministrations). The appendix to
this chapter in the format and content guide is a copy of the license amendment for
conducting BNCT at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
