SUBJECT:
TEXAS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION/TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM - U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000128/2024201 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION (REVISED)
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
From December 16-20, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an inspection at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station/Texas A&M University System Nuclear Science Center. On December 20, 2024, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection were originally documented in NRC Inspection Report No. 05000128/2024201, issued January 29, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) Accession No. ML25014A182). On February 25, 2025, you provided a response (ML25057A001), in which you contested some aspects of the violations issued in the original report. On June 5, 2025, the NRC issued a response (ML25153A669), in which we concluded that the original violations would be revised. Accordingly, the enclosed inspection report is being re-issued to reflect the revisions to Notice of Violation (NOV)05000128/2024201-01 and to document the minor violations separated from the original enforcement problem as discussed in the June 5, 2025, NRC response.
The original inspection report documented four violations. One was an enforcement problem documented as a Severity Level IV NOV. One was a Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV)
and two were minor violations. In accordance with the result of the contested violations review referenced above, the Severity Level IV NOV enforcement problem was revised and separated.
The revised inspection report is enclosed, which includes a revised Severity Level IV NOV, a Severity Level IV NCV, two minor violations unchanged from the original inspection report, and two additional minor violations that resulted from the NRC response to the disputed violations.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed various activities, and interviewed personnel.
June 12, 2025 Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one Severity Level IV NOV of NRC requirements occurred. The violation was evaluated in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement Policy is included on the NRCs website at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the enclosed inspection report. The violation is cited in the Notice because it constitutes a failure to meet regulatory requirements that has more than minor safety significance and the violation was repetitive as a result of inadequate corrective action.
The NRC is not requiring a response to this NOV because your corrective actions to restore compliance were outlined in the violation dispute response received on February 25, 2025 (ML25057A001), and you subsequently informed the NRC that you achieved compliance on April 22, 2025. However, you are required to submit a written statement or explanation pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.201, Notice of violation, if the description herein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position. In that case, or if you choose to respond, clearly mark your response as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation," and send it to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001 with copies to the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
During this inspection, the NRC has determined that another Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements occurred. This violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described in the subject inspection report. If you contest the violation or significance of the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this letter, its enclosures, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy or proprietary information, so that it can be made available to the Public without redaction. If you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Juan Arellano at 301-415-0477, or by email at Juan.Arellano@nrc.gov.

select NESC repackaging shipment information performed from 2023-present Inspection Results Minor Violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-03)
69001.01 Minor Violation: On June 14, 2024, the licensee reported event notification57174 to the Headquarters Operation Center for a fuel pin that did not pass the test criteria specified in TS 3.1.5, Reactor Fuel Parameters, during fuel inspection. The licensee responded as required by the TSs to identify a degraded fuel pin and inspected the entire core. While reviewing EN 57174, the inspectors identified a violation of TS 6.7.2, Special Reports. TS 6.7.2 states, in part, There shall be a report not later than the following working day by telephone and confirmed in writing by fax or similar conveyance to the NRC Headquarters Operations Center and followed by a written report that describes the circumstances of the event and sent within 14 days to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Contrary to TS 6.7.2, the licensee failed to send a written report that describes the circumstances of the event to the NRC within 14 days after the licensee determined that a reportable event occurred.
Screening: The event report was sent on December 15, 2024. The information in the report would not have changed the NRCs oversight posture and because the licensee performed all required corrective actions after identifying the failed fuel element, the inspectors determined that the failure to meet the requirements of TS 6.7.2 constitutes a violation of minor significance in accordance with section 2.0 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This minor violation (VIO 05000128-2024201-03) was corrected by the licensee and this issue is closed.
Enforcement: The failure to comply with TS 6.7.2 constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.
- 6 -
Non-Cited Violation (NCV 05000128/2024201-02)
69001.07 A Severity Level IV violation of TS 6.7.1 was identified for the licensee failing to submit an annual operating report within the required frequency. This violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been corrected and is treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with section 2.3.2(b) of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Violation: TS 6.7.1, Annual Operating Report, states, in part, An annual report covering the operation of the reactor facility during the previous calendar year shall be submitted to the NRC before March 31 of each year providing the following information:
Contrary to TS 6.7.1, the annual report covering the operation of the reactor facility for calendar year 2023 was not submitted to the NRC before March 31, 2024. Specifically, the annual operating report was not submitted until December 19, 2024, 8 months and 19 days after the required time frame.
The inspectors determined that the problem was identified by the licensee and reported to the inspectors. Corrective actions were identified and completed. As a result, this non-willful, non-repetitive, licensee-identified and licensee-corrected violation will be treated as a non-cited violation consistent with section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000128/2024201-02).
Minor Violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-04)
69001.07 Minor Violation: TS 4.5, Radiation Monitoring Systems and Effluents, specification 1 states, The area radiation monitoring system (ARM) and the FAM system shall be calibrated annually, shall be channel tested weekly, and shall be channel checked prior to reactor operation.
Contrary to TS 4.5(1.), the licensee identified that the Facility Air Monitoring (FAM) system was not calibrated annually. Specifically, the licensee identified that the calibrations were revised in 2018 to not require a full calibration of the entire FAM system. The last correct calibration was performed on November 19, 2018.
Screening: The licensee performed a complete FAM system calibration in January 2024, prior to reactor operations, and determined that the FAM system was never out of calibration since the last calibration on November 19, 2018. As a result, the inspectors determined that failure to meet the requirements of TS 4.5(1.) constitutes a violation of minor significance in accordance with section 2.0 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This minor violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-04) was corrected by the licensee and this issue is closed.
Enforcement: The failure to comply with TS 4.5(1.) constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.
This closes Unresolved Item 05000128/2023201-04.

Failure to conduct audits as required by the TSs Severity Report Section Severity Level IV NOV 2024201-01 Open 69001.09 A Severity Level IV NOV of TS 6.2.4(5.) was identified for the licensees failure to perform security plan audits within the required frequency.
Description: Technical specification 6.2.4 and TS 6.2.5 require the licensee to perform various audits. During an NRC security inspection performed December 11-14, 2023, it was noted that the security plan and implementing procedures audit required by TS 6.2.4(5.) was not performed since June 10, 2021, and was due December 10, 2023. It was also noted that the audit was scheduled for December 2023, but the auditor changed plans to conduct the audit in January 2024. During this December 2024 inspection, the inspectors confirmed no audit was conducted in January 2024 and still was not conducted in calendar year 2024.
Subsequently, inspectors were informed that the audit was completed in April 2025.
Corrective Actions: The inspectors confirmed that the licensee placed the issue in their spreadsheet tracking all issues that need to be completed. The licensee informed the inspectors that an individual that works for the NSC and is not immediately responsible for the area would perform the audit in calendar year 2025. Subsequently, the audit was completed in April 2025, and it will be reviewed by the inspector during a future inspection.
Analysis: The violation was evaluated in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The violation is cited as a NOV because it constitutes a failure to meet regulatory requirements that has a more than minor safety significance and the licensee failed to correct the violation within a reasonable period of time.
Enforcement:
Severity: The violation is categorized at Severity Level IV in accordance with section 6.9.d of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Violation: TS 6.2.4, RSB Audit Function, states, in part, The audit function shall include selective (but comprehensive) examination of operating records, logs, and other documents.
Audits shall include but are not limited to the following:
TS 6.2.4(5.) states, The reactor facility security plan and implementing procedures: at least once every other calendar year (interval between audits not to exceed 30 months).
Contrary to TS 6.2.4(5.), the licensee failed to perform an audit to include the reactor facility security plan and implementing procedures at least once every other calendar year.
Specifically, the licensee performed an audit, that included TS 6.2.4(5.), on June 28, 2021, and did not perform a subsequent audit until April 22, 2025, which exceeds the 30-month requirement.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being cited as a Notice of Violation, consistent with sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
This closes Inspector Follow Up Item 05000128/2023202-01.
- 8 -
Minor Violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-05)
69001.09 Minor Violation: Technical specification 6.2.4, RSB Audit Function, states, in part, The audit function shall include selective (but comprehensive) examination of operating records, logs, and other documents. Audits shall include but are not limited to the following:
TS 6.2.4(1.) states, Facility operations, including radiation protection, for conformance to the Technical Specifications, applicable license conditions, and standard operating procedures:
at least once per calendar year (interval between audits not to exceed 15 months).
TS 6.2.4(2.) states, The results of action taken to correct those deficiencies that may occur in the reactor facility equipment systems, structures, or methods of operations that affect reactor safety: at least once per calendar year (interval between audits not to exceed 15 months).
Contrary to TS 6.2.4(1.) and TS 6.2.4(2.), the licensee failed to perform an audit to include facility operations and an audit to include the results of action taken to correct those deficiencies that may occur in the reactor facility equipment systems, structures, or methods of operations that affect reactor safety at least once per calendar year. Specifically, the licensee performed an audit, that included TS 6.2.4(1.) and TS 6.2.4(2.), on August 28, 2022, and performed the subsequent audit on April 2, 2024, which exceeded the allowable 15-month frequency.
Screening: The missed 2023 audits were identified by the licensee, were not repetitive, and were corrected on April 2, 2024. As a result, the inspectors determined that failure to meet the requirements of TS 6.2.4(1.) and 6.2.4.(2.) constitutes a violation of minor significance in accordance with section 2.0 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This minor violation was corrected by the licensee and this issue is closed.
Enforcement: The failure to comply with TS 6.2.4 constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Minor Violation (VIO 05000128/2024201-06)
69001.09 Minor Violation: Technical Specification 6.2.5, Audit of ALARA Program, states, in part, The Chair of the RSB or designated alternate (excluding anyone whose normal job function is within the NSC) shall conduct an audit of the reactor facility ALARA program annually.
Contrary to TS 6.2.5, the 2023 and 2024 ALARA program audits were not performed by the chair of the RSB or a designated alternate. Specifically, the Health Physics Records Review(s) were performed by a representative of the NETL at the University of Texas on August 22, 2023, and August 30, 2024, and both reviews state that the NETL representative was requested to perform the review by the TEES RSO, not the RSB chair.
Screening: Since the required audits were still performed and inspectors identified no significant deficiencies with the audits themselves, it was determined that the failure to meet the requirements of TS 6.2.5 constitutes a violation of minor significance in accordance with section 2.0 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The licensee will determine appropriate corrective actions prior to the 2025 ALARA program audit.
Enforcement: The failure to comply with TS 6.2.5 constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.
