University of Massachusetts at Lowell; University of Massachusetts at Lowell Research Reactor

요약

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an application for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-125, which authorizes the University of Massachusetts at Lowell (UML or the licensee) to operate the UML Research Reactor (UMLRR) at a maximum steady-state thermal power of 1.0 megawatt (MW). The UMLRR is a plate- type-fueled research reactor located on the campus of UML, in Lowell, Massachusetts. If approved, the renewed license would authorize the licensee to continue to operate the UMLRR up to a steady-state thermal power of 1.0 MW for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license. Because the license renewal application contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) and Safeguards Information (SGI), an included Order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI and SGI for contention preparation.
