SUBJECT:

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY - WITHDRAWAL OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION REGARDING USE OF 12 WEIGHT PERCENT URANIUM FUEL ELEMENTS (EPID NO. L-2020-NFR-0000)

Dear Dr. Cebula:

By letter dated April 9, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12109A063), as supplemented by letters dated April 28, 2014, October 5, 2016, May 2, 2017, September 23, 2017, and November 30, 2018 (ML16200A317, ML16291A498, ML17139C979, ML17319A305, and ML18347A209, respectively), Kansas State University (KSU) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to Facility Operating License No. R-88 for the KSU TRIGA Mark-II Nuclear Reactor Facility. The requested licensing action would allow KSU to add up to four fuel elements that are 12 percent by weight uranium to its reactor core.

By letter dated December 21, 2023 (ML24018A104), KSU notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it was withdrawing its LAR. KSU anticipates it will resubmit the LAR in the future. KSU also stated that it would maintain the administrative restrictions described in KSU letter dated October 7, 2019 (ML19295D727), and that it would provide advanced notification if changes to the administrative restrictions are expected.

The NRC staff has terminated its review of KSUs LAR dated April 9, 2012. Any information provided to the NRC staff in support of the LAR will remain in ADAMS.February 9, 2024 If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-4103, or by email at Linh.Tran@nrc.gov.
