( I Rensselaer Polytechnic institute Troy, New York 12181 March 1, 1983 Director Division of Reactor Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20545 Re: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Facility License CX-22 Docket 50-225 Annual Report of Tests and Experiments

Dear Sir:

This report of tests and experiments is submitted, in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50.59, for the period March 1,1982 to March 1,1983.

The fuel plates used comprised a core loading of 152 MTR type, flat, stationary' plated and 24 MTR type flat, control rod plates. One stationary plate is stored in the fuel vault. All of the fuel plates are leased by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC02-76ER03457.

Through periods January 1,1982, to May 1982 and May 19B', to July 1982, the Facility was used to conduct a graduate level course on reactor experiments for classes of 11 and 4 students respectively. The Facility was also used for two weeks in July and August for an Operational Reactor Physics and Engineering Course for 6 engineers from Northeast Utilities. .Further, one student was involved in project work at the Facility to satisfy degree requirements. The reactor experiments course is currently being taught to 15 students.

Routine scheduled maintenance was performed in June, January and February.

One Master's project was completed during the report period. This project measured sensitivity to bubble voids in the center cell and measured transport times.

The experiments, operations, and topics covered in association with the use of the facility remain the same as described in previous reports.
