ANNUAL OPERATING REPORT of the TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY AGN-201M TRAINING REACTOR NRC LICENSE R-23 JUNE 1, 2009-MAY 31, 2010 DEPARTMENT OF NUCLEAR ENGINEERING TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY College Station, Texas 77843 - 3133 i#UIL
- 1.
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 2009 until 31 May 2010. The contents of this report are intended to comply with the requirements of 1 OCFR50 section 50.59 and Section 6.9.1 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 as well as preventive maintenance. During this reporting period, the AGN-20 1 M reactor was not run by the facility. Modifications to the Emergency Lighting System and the High Radiation Area Alarm were performed during this reporting period.
