SU8! JECT: ROUTINE SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50186/98201 (DRPM) AND
Dear Dr. Charlsen:
This refers to the inspection conducted on January 12 15,1998, at the University of
Missouri at Columbia Research Reactor. The purpose of the inspection was to determine
whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in accordance with
NRC requirements. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with
those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in progress.
Your reactor operations activities at the University of Missouri at Columbia Research
Reactor appeared to have been conducted with safety as a priority.
One violation was identified as a result of the inspection. The NRC is concerned because
the cited violation was NRC identified. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice), and the circumstances surrounding the violation are described in detail in
the enclosed report.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response, in your response, you should document the
specific actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After
reviewing your response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the
results of future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement
action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
