NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0549; Docket No. 50–113] 

Notice of License Termination for the 

University of Arizona Research 

Reactor, License No. R–52 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is noticing the 

termination of Facility Operating 

License No. R–52, for the University of 

Arizona Research Reactor (UARR). 

The NRC has terminated the license of 

the decommissioned UARR, at the 

Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (NRL) on 

the campus of the University of Arizona 

(U of AZ) in Pima County, Arizona in 

the city of Tucson, and has released the 

site for unrestricted use. The licensee 

requested termination of the license in 

a letter to the NRC dated December 1, 

2011 (ADAMS Accession Number 

ML11346A300). The NRL Research 

Reactor provided training for Nuclear 

Engineering students and various 

services for researchers in other 

departments at the U of AZ. The 

licensee ceased operation of the facility 

on May 18, 2010, and the reactor fuel 

was removed by the Department of 

Energy on December 23, 2010, with the 

fuel being delivered to the Idaho 

National Laboratory. The NRL 

underwent decommissioning activities 

from May 2011 through September 2011 

followed by Final Status Surveys (FSS) 

to measure Total (Static) Beta activity 

and to perform radiological scan 

measurements. Smears were also 

collected for tritium and beta to assess 

the final radiological status of the 

facility. 

The licensee submitted a request 

dated May 21, 2009 (ML091490076), to 

the NRC to approve its 

decommissioning plan (DP), dated May 

21, 2009 (ML091490074). The NRC 

requested additional information for its 

review of the DP by letter dated 

February 25, 2010 (ML100550614), and 

the licensee responded to that request 

on March 26, 2010 (ML100920089). The 

NRC approved the UARR DP by 

Amendment No. 20, dated April 15, 

2011 (ML110470589). 

As required by the DP license 

amendment, the U of AZ submitted the 

Final Status Survey (FSS) Plan for the 

NRL on May 25, 2011 (ML11168A059). 

Although no NRC approval was 

required, the NRC reviewed the survey 

plan and has determined that it was 

consistent with the guidance in 

NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated 

Decommissioning Guidance’’ and 

NUREG–1575, ‘‘Multi-Agency Radiation 

Survey and Site Investigation Manual.’’ 

The U of AZ submitted a revised FSS 

Plan on August 18, 2011 

(ML11234A164). The NRC reviewed this 

revision and has determined it also to be 

acceptable. 

The U of AZ submitted the FSS report 

for the NRL on December 1, 2011 

(ML11346A300). That report stated that 

the survey met the FSS plan and the DP, 

and demonstrated that the NRL met the 

requirements for unrestricted release 

specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E. 

The NRC reviewed the FSS report and 

has determined that the survey was 

conducted in accordance with the 

Decommissioning Plan and the FSS 

Plan. Additionally, the NRC has 

determined that the survey results in the 

report comply with the criteria in the 

NRC-approved decommissioning plan 

and the release criteria in 10 CFR Part 

20, Subpart E for both the UARR and the 

NRL have been met. 

On July 5, 2011, NRC Region IV 

issued inspection report 050–00113/11– 

001 for the research reactor at the NRL 

(ML11187A017). The inspector 

interviewed licensee staff, observed 

work in progress, and reviewed selected 

documents related to the licensee’s 

decommissioning activities. The 

inspector concluded that the licensee 

and its contracted work force were 

conducting decommissioning activities 

in accordance with the NRC approved 

decommissioning plan. The inspector 

also determined that the licensee’s final 

status survey plan was in general 

agreement with NRC guidance. 

At the request of the NRC, the Oak 

Ridge Institute for Science and 

Education (ORISE) conducted 

confirmatory survey activities at the 

NRL during the week of September 6, 

2011. ORISE submitted a report of their 

confirmatory survey activities by letter 

dated November 7, 2011 

(ML11319A101). The survey activities 

were conducted in accordance with an 

ORISE confirmatory survey plan 

provided to and approved by the NRC 

on August 18, 2011 (ML120400169). 

The confirmatory survey activities 

included visual inspections/ 

assessments, gamma measurements, 

alpha plus beta measurements, smear 

sampling, and soil sampling activities. 

As a result of the confirmatory survey 

activities, ORISE noted two issues with 

licensee’s FSS activities performed at 

the NRL. The first was an area of 

residual activity above the Co-60 

screening level in source pit number 2. 

Since confirmatory surveys occurred, 

surface activity in source pit 2 has been 

remediated to a value below the Co-60 

screening level. The second issue 

identified by ORISE was use of an 

incorrect surface efficiency. As a result, 

the licensee’s contractor agreed to recalculate surface activity using the 

correct surface efficiency value for Co60. Because the two issues described 

have been resolved with the licensee, 

ORISE concluded that the licensee’s 

FSS data adequately and accurately 

demonstrated that the NRL is below the 

appropriate screening levels and that 

ORISE confirmatory survey activities 

validate the licensee’s conclusion that 

the appropriate guidelines have been 

met. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(b)(6), the 

NRC staff has concluded that UARR at 

the NRL has been decommissioned in 

accordance with the approved 

decommissioning plan and that the

terminal radiation surveys and 

associated documentation demonstrate 

that the facilities and site may be 

released in accordance with the criteria 

in the NRC-approved decommissioning 

plan. Further, on the basis of the 

decommissioning activities carried out 

by the U of AZ, the NRC’s review of the 

licensee=s final status survey report, the 

results of NRC inspections conducted at 

the NRL, and the results of confirmatory 

surveys, the NRC has concluded that the 

decommissioning process is complete 

and the facilities and sites may be 

released for unrestricted use. Therefore, 

Facility Operating License No. R–52 is 

terminated.

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated December 1, 2011. The above 

referenced documents may be
