SOVERVIEW

This report covers the period from September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007, and is intendedto fulfill the reporting requirements of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S.Department of Energy, and the Oregon Department of Energy including:

* U. S. NRC, License No. R-112, Docket 50-288• Oregon Office of Energy Rule No. 345-030-010* U. S. DOE Reactor Sharing Grant No. DE-FG07-02ID14387* U. S. DOE Reactor Instrumentation Grant No. DE-FG07-041D 14573

We specifically wish to thank other funding sources including:Portland General ElectricConcordia University

Reed College operates a TRIGAO Mark I reactor with zirconium hydride/uranium fuelelements in a circular grid array at the bottom of a 25-foot-deep tank of water and aresurrounded by a graphite reflector. The fuel is enriched to 19.9% in uranium-235.

The Reed College Research Reactor has been a resource for research and educationalprojects in the Portland area since 1968. The main uses of the Reed Research Reactor areinstruction and research, especially in the field of trace-element analysis. In addition toproviding student research opportunities, the reactor staff works to educate thesurrounding community on thegpyrinc€pfe ,qn.rlernergy-ad radiation safety.

There were 2272 individual visits to the Reactor Facility during the year. Most werestudents in classes at Reed College or area universities, colleges, and high schools.Including tours and research conducted at the facility, the Reed Research Reactorcontributed to the educational programs of 9 colleges and universities in addition to 15pre-college groups. The reactor was operated 297 times on 119 days. The thermal energyproduced was 38 megawatt-hours.

The reactor staff consists of a Director, an Associate Director, a Health Physicist, andReed College undergraduate students who are licensed by the Nuclear RegulatoryCommission as reactor operators or senior reactor operators. As this report is beingwritten the licensed operating staff consists of 19 women and 23 men. During thereporting period, all 12 reactor operator candidates passed their NRC exams and all 9senior reactor operator candidates passed their NRC exams.

There were no radiation exposures to individuals in excess of one percent of the limitduring the year. There were no releases of liquid radioactive material from the facilityand airborne releases were well within regulatory limits. There was one shipment ofradioactive waste.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission conducted their annual inspection during January2007. There were no violations or concerns. There were no follow up items.

Reactor Ope~rations Seminar

The Reed Research Reactor conducts an annual seminar series for students from Reedand other area educational institutions. This non-credit course serves as an introduction tonuclear reactor theory, health physics, and reactor operation. Some of the studentscontinue with in-depth reactor operator training and subsequently apply for a reactoroperator license. If successful, the individual may be hired to operate the reactor. Inaddition, existing reactor operators may take the NRC senior reactor operator exam toupgrade their licenses.

Nuclear Science Consortium

In order to better use the resources of the Reed Research Reactor, several area collegesand universities established the Nuclear' Sciece Conortiumpof thej•ilI ette ,alleyni1970. Funding for the Consortium has been derived from Reactor Use Sharing Grants ofthe U.S. Department of Energy. This made the facility available without charge toclassroom groups and unfunded research projects for consortium members.

The following institutions have participated in facility tours, experiments, and researchprojects in the reporting period. ,

Figure 3 Visiting Groups

Many reactor tours include hands-on use of facility equipment to conduct experiments inradiation science, health physics, and nuclear physics. A typical lab involves determiningthe background of a Geiger Muller scalar system and then determining the half-life of asample of radioactive material. College classes are generally more closely tailored to theindividual interests and needs of the Consortium faculty member involved. Experimentsinclude more direct use of the reactor itself by the students, more detailed analysis ofmaterials, and emphasize the incorporation of other classroom activities as much aspossible.

Several special programs for gifted children use the reactor for projects. These aredesigned to enrich their educational program and prepare them for college. Some of thegroups who use the reactor target minority and disadvantaged youth who are historicallyunder-represented in science professions.

High School Student Proiects

The Reed Research Reactor continues to be used in independent science projects initiatedby students from several Oregon and Washington State high schools.

Concordia University

The reactor provides training and experiments involving radiation, radioactive material,environmental sampling, and trace element analysis for the Environmental Remediation& Hazardous Material Management Program (ERHMM) and General Chemistry atConcordia University

Title: Adding Antimony-Beryllium Source

Date: November 1, 2006

Summary of Proposed Change:

This experiment will add an antimony-beryllium (SbBe) neutron source to the core asa special experiment. Although Routine Experiment #1 allows irradiation of bothantimony and beryllium, when they are mixed they produce neutrons so a specialexperiment was deemed necessary. Ultimately this will replace the americium-beryllium (AmBe) neutron source currently used.

During the year the largest annual whole body dose was 20 mrem deep dose equivalent.The largest annual extremity dose was 110 mrem shallow dose equivalent. Both of thesewere staff members (not students). No one exceeded one percent of the fed, rallimits.

Fixed Area Dosimetry

Radiation levels are continually monitored to provide an ihdication of the averageradiation levels in the reactor bay and dose outside the facility. This year areas dosimeterswere also pl~aced inthe sample counting room and the control room. All dosimetersmonitor beta and gamma radiation. Two locations also, measure neutron dose.

The deep dose equivalent radiation measured by fixed dosimeters during the period July1, 2006 to June 30, 2007 are shown in table 4. Since dosimeters are changed on acalendar quarter. schedule;,this-period is the closest .to 'theffe reporting ipexod... .

Reed College operates a Triga Mark I reactor with zirconium hydride/uranium fuel

elements. The fuel elements are in a circular grid array at the bottom of a 25-foot-deep

tank of water and are surrounded by a graphite reflector. The fuel is enriched to 19.9% in

uranium-235.

The Reed College Research Reactor has been a resource for research and educational

projects in the Portland area since its establishment in 1968. The main uses of the Reed

Research Reactor are instruction and research, especially in the field of trace-element

analysis. In addition to providing student research opportunities, the reactor staff works to

educate the surrounding community on the principles of nuclear energy and radiation

safety.

There were 2818 individual visits to the Reactor Facility during the year. Most were

students in classes at Reed College or area universities, colleges, and high schools.

Including tours and research conducted at the facility, the Reed Research Reactor

contributed to the educational programs of 6 colleges and universities in addition to 12

Reactor Facility% ' . .

In addition to the reactor, the Reed College has a radiochemistry lab. The equipmentavailable at the reactor facility includes high purity germanium gamma spectfometers,-alpha spectromieters, -a whole body counter, gas flow proportional counters, i6n chambers,beta counters, Geiger Muller tubes, neutron detectors, alpha~detectors, and.:thermoluminescent dosimeter readers. These instruments are used for experiments and trainingin hucleari scieiice atdriadiation detection. Two hafid and stio rmonifors "ar&ih the controlroom. A liquid scintillation detector serces the campus radioisotope' committee." Thereactor facility has several systems for performing irradiations, descfib'ed b'elow.

Rotating Specimen Rack Facility

tfh irobtating'speimen'rack ("lazy susan")is ioated ift a wiella on top of the 'graphitereflector'surrounding the core: The rack consists ofa circular array of 40 tubularreceptacles, each of which can accommodate two irradiation tubes. Vials holding up to17 nil (four drams) are used in this system. Samples are loaded in the specinmen rack priorto the start-up of the reactor. The rack automatically rotates during irradiation to ensureeach sample receives the same neutron flux. Typically, researchers u..se.t..rtating rackwhen long irradiation times (generally greater than five minutes) are required. The

Pneumatic Transfer System

The pneumatic transfer system ("rabbit") consists of an irradiation chamber in the outerF-ring of the core and its associated pump and piping. This allows samples to betransferred in and out of the reactor core very rapidly while the reactor is at power.

Routine use of the pneumatic transfer system involves placing samples into vials, whichin turn are placed in special capsules known as "rabbits." The capsule is loaded into thesystem in the laboratory next to the reactor and is then transferred pneumatically into thecore-irradiation position. At the end of a predetermined time the sample is transferredback to the receiving terminal, where it is removed for measurement. The transfer timefrom the core to the terminal is about seven seconds, making this method of irradiatingsamples particularly useful for experiments involving radioisotopes with short half-lives.The flux in the core terminal is approximately 5x10 12 nlcm2 s when the reactor is at fullpower.

The Reed Research Reactor conducts an annual seminar series .Jor students from Reedand other area educational institutions. This non-credit course serves as an introduction tonuclear reactor theory, health physics, and reactor operati6n. S.6,h..oef fthe, studentscontinue with in-depth reactor operator training and subsequently.apply for a reactoroperator license. If successful, the individual may be hired to: operate the reactor. Inaddition, existing reactor operators may take the NRC senior reactor..operator exam toupgrade their licenses.

During the reporting period, 16 out of 16 reactor operator candidatespassed their NRCexams and 11 out of 11 senior reactor operator candidates passed their NRC exams. Thisyear, for the first time, we put a limit on the number of reactor operator candidates.

The proposed procedure will clean the lazy susan (LS) with the stolvent minera1! spirits(paint thinner).

'J•hree gallons ofi'ihe Sl'Vent will be poured into the lazy -susan. The LS Will be rotatingovernight to disso!lIve the oil. Then the contaminated solvent will be pumped into-a

""shielded odntliner. The waste will be haridled'a d& scribed beloo`. The •p0de e is" attached. '- . .. .

The LS is an air filled rack assembly that is isolated from the pool water, so there is nopossible interactiontbetWeen the: solvent and the reactor. water. Mineral spirits is,compatible with. metals;,, plastics, and-the pool: water if any were to getinto the pool. The.only significafitactivation product is' sodium (15 hour half-life), although the LS oil willhave long-lived cobalt and selenium isotopes. This method was used successfully at theKansas State University Reactor in 2003.

The pump and tubing will be on absorbent paper and will be checked frequently for leaks.Radiation -mohitors willi check.for air contamination and for high radiationifields. Labcoats, glove's ,shoe"coyers, andl goggles will; be worn when transferring the:solvent.Personial ddsimotry is always worn iný the-reactor room. The container -v'ill be shieldedand will not belpositior•d tover the reActof pool.

be stored for u_ jncleanilzj the LS in thefuture. _

This procedure will be added to SOP-83 with lessons learned when completed.

Gaseous Releases -

The only routine release of gaseous radioactivity is from 4"Ar (1.83-hour half-life) and16N (TA3-s;e'cond -h}f-life). These" come-from-activation:of'pool Water and air in the poolwater and:in the irradiation facilties. For calendar year 2005, the average gaseousactivity at the site boundary was,4.94 x 10`1 yCi/ml, which would deliver a dose to amember of the public of approximately 0.25 mrem, well below regulatory guidelines andconstraints. Figuie 6 shows the gaseous releases for each yea. "
