CONDUCT OE OPERATIONS A.

Organization and Responsibility The Nuclear Science Center is operated by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station. The Director of the Nuclear Science Center is responsible to the Director of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station for the administration and the proper and safe operation of the facility. An administration chart for the Nuclear Science Center is presented in Figure 10-1.

The internal administration of the NSC is comprised of the Reactor Administration and the Facility Administration. The Facility Adminis-tration is not directly related to reactor safety and is established internally by the Director.

The Reactor Safety Board is established to advise the Director of the NSC on all matters or policy pertaining to safety.

The Radiological Safety Office provides "onsite" advice concerning personnel and radiological safety and provi* des technical assistance and review in the area of radiation protection.

B.

. Training A training program for reactor operations personnel exists to prepare personnel for the USNRC Operator or Senior Operator examination.

This training program normally contains twenty hours of lecture, outside study, and requires appror

• • ely twenty reactor startups. At the conclusion of the program, the L.

or Associate Director of the Nuclear Science Center conducts an examination of the trainee to ascertain whether or not he is qualified to cake the USNRC examination.

C.

Written Procedures The philosophy of nuclear safety at the Nuclear Science Cen*7r assumes that all operations utilizing the reactor will be carried out in such a manner as to best protect the health and safety of the public.
