SUMMARY
This report is intended to detail the pertinent activities related to the Texas A&M University AGN-201M training facility operated by the Department of Nuclear Engineering during the period of 1 June 2005 until 31 May 2006. The contents of this report are intended to comply with the requirements of 10CFR50 section 50.59(b) and Appendix A of the Technical Specifications for this facility under license R-23.
The main function of this facility is to provide an operating nuclear system to be used as a research tool, to support the requirements of Nuclear Engineering courses, and for operator training. During this reporting period, the AGN-20 1. reactor was not operated, department funding was approved for the reactor console upgrades, and actual manufacture of the new console Was started. The redesign and console modification work is being performed by personnel from the Nuclear Science Center and all of their work will be approved by facility personnel. Final designdecisions shall be made by facility personnel.
