Attn: Mr. Alexander Adams Jr., Chief, Research and Test Reactors Branch Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Mr. Patrick M. Boyle, Project Manager, Research and Test Reactors Branch Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation The purpose of this letter is to submit proposed changes to the Texas A&M University (TAMU) AGN-201M Technical Specifications (TSs) table of contents. In the March 3, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16063A384), letter responding to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission request for additional information, dated February 16, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16032A022), | |||
regarding the November 11, 2015, license amendment request, TAMU proposed changes to the TSs. The proposed TSs adds surveillance requirements for the AGN-201M reactor components that will be stored at the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station Nuclear Science Center facility. As a result of adding the surveillance requirements to the TSs, pages 11a and 14a are required to be added to the TSs. Adding these pages has resulted in the need to change the AGN-201M TS table of contents to reflect the new TSs pages. Enclosed is the revised table of contents page for the AGN-201M TSs. | |||
Changing the table of contents does not change the initial "no significant hazards determination" stated in the November 11, 2015, application.
