If they disagree, or if in their judgment the case warrants it, the proposal will be referred to the full Center Safety Committee. The scope of the experiment and the procedures and safety measures as described in the approved proposal, including any amendments or conditions added by those reviewing and approving it, shall be binding on the experimenter and the operating personnel. Minor deviations shall be allowed only in the manner described in paragraph b. 3 above. It must not involve violation of any condition of the facility license or of Federal, State, University, or Center regulations and procedures. In the safety review the basic criterion is that there shall be no hazard to the reactor, personnel or public.
Regulations is permitted within the reactor bay.
The objectives are, in the event of an experimental failure, to limit reactivity excursions that might cause fuel temperature to exceed the safety limit, to prevent damage to the reactor, and to prevent release of radioactive materials. An estimate of the amount of radioactive waste that will be generated by the experiment, how it will be disposed of, and how much it will cost to be disposed of. Whether or not the sample to be irradiated needs to be returned to the owner, esp. 3.8 Limitations on Experiments , for additional information. Once the form is complete, the Research Supervisor must sign and submit the proposal to the Center Director to initiate the review process.
