i The University of New Mexico's AGN-20lM reactor continues to be ,

l used extensively for teaching experiments as a part of our l undergraduate and graduate programs. These experiments include i approach-to-critical, reactor period and reactivity measurements, l importance function measurements, sample activation, control rod I calibrations, and reactor power and neutron fluence measurements. The i reactor is also used in support of our research programs. The reactor is regularly used throughout the Fall, Spring and Summer-sessions of the University. All experiments have received prior approval from our Reactor Safeguards Advisory Committee and conform to radiological safety procedures developed by the University Radiation Control Committee. No modifications or experiments involving violation of the reactor Technical Specifications have been performed.
