RCF 21-02 March 31, 2021 ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Re: Operations Report for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Reactor Critical Facility, NRC License CX-22, Docket Number 50-225.

To Whom It May Concern:

This document constitutes an update for the calendar year (CY) 2020 Operations Report of the RPI RCF that was submitted to the USNRC, and to Rensselaer management on March 1, 2021.

The update is only for operational items 10 and 11 in the previous submission, and is detailed below:

10. Environmental monitor dosimetry is performed at the exclusion area fence (EM1 through EM4), and at the site boundary fence (EM5 and EM6). The environmental monitoring results are reported without background subtraction, and the accumulated dose to an off-site control monitor is reported separately. The sum of the quarterly control readings from 2020 was 144 mrem. The sums of the gross readings and net dose results for 2020 are:

Gross [mrem] Net [mrem]

EM1 127 0 EM2 132 0 EM3 125 0 EM4 121 0 EM5 123 0 EM6 130 0

11. Facility personnel exposures were all less than 10 mrem (the minimum detectable exposure) for all quarters of CY 2020.
