HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE NUCLEAR SCIENCE CENTER
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4021040
Organizational, design, and functional modifications to the proposed reactor facility at Texas A. and M. are described. Authorization to operate the reactor at an initial 100 kw power level and provisional authorization to operate at a full power of 5 Mw is sought. An addition to the site of a high-level gamma irradiation facility is proposed. The reactor pool, originally proposed as two sections, was elongated to provide a third section, which will be used for future expansion. In addition to the originally requested 0.7%, 1.0% excess reactivity is requested for 100 kw operation. The philosophy of controls and instrumentation was altered to eliminate much of the complex interlock system originally proposed. The reactor building was modified to raise the height of the roof 15 ft. It was concluded that neither primary coolant pump failure nor municipal power failure would lead to any significant problems or to any potential radiation hazard. Operation and emergency procedures are outlined. (M.C.G.)
