Dear Sir:
The purpose of this report is to satisfy the reporting requirements of IOCFR50 Section 50.59, in respect to activities related to the Cornell TRIGA Reactor (facility license R-80) and the Cornell Zero Power Reactor (ZPR) (facility license R-89) during the period beginning Julyl, 2004 and ending June 30, 2005.
TRIGA License R-80:
- 1. Operating Experience During the week ofNoyember. 10, 20.03 all spent.fuel was removed from the
'TRIGA reactor facility and transferred.to the IdahoNational Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in Idaho Falls, Idaho. A decommissioning plan for the Ward Laboratoryfacility was submitted to the US NRC on August 22, 2003.
- 2. Changes in Facility Design None
- 3. Changes in Procedures None-.
- 4. Surveillance Tests and Inspections, All parameters, and systems undergoin~g re~quirldsur-yeillaneetests, and:

- 7. Personnel Exposure No significant radiation exposure to personnel was experienced.
-- ZPR License-R-89 On February 12, 1997, the US NRC issued Amendment No. 4 which removed the authority from the license to operate the reactor. The ZPR fuel had been removed from the reactor grid plate prior to that date, and the reactor has been in a shutdown/safe-storage condition. On April 28, 2000, all SNM related to the ZPR was retrieved by a DOE contractor and placed in storage at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
Decommissioning of the ZPR is included in the decommissioning plan for the Ward Lab facility submitted to the US NRC on August 22, 2003.
