SUBJECT: RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-225/2014-202
Dear Dr. Caracappa:
From December 8-11, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) conducted an inspection at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The inspection included a review of activities authorized for your facility. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on December 11, 2014 and again on January 15, 2015, with you and members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to public health and safety to confirm compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel. Based on the results of this inspection, two Unresolved Items (URI) and one Inspector Follow-up (IFI) were identified. No response to this letter is required.
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 enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronica lly for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's document system (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)).
