Supplement 5 to License Amendment Request dated October 14, 2015, Facility License R-83, Docket Number 50-128. (ADAMS Accession No.
ML15287A148) Attn: Mr. Alexander Adams, Jr., Chief Research and Test Reactors Branch Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Mr. Patrick Boyle, Project Manager Research and Test Reactors Branch Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
This supplemental information is in support of the subject license amendment request dated October 14, 2015, Facility License R-83, Docket Number 50-128 to enable the storage of fuel from the Texas A&M University (TAMU) AGN-201M reactor on the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) Nuclear Science Center TRIGA Reactor Site. It addresses the wording of the first sentence for the proposed Technical Specification (TS) Section 5.6, Applicability. The purpose is to provide clarification to TS Section 5.6, Applicability, to ensure that both the TRIGA reactor fuel and AGN-201M reactor fuel and start up source will be stored such they will not become critical and will not reach an unsafe temperature. Therefore, we propose the attached modification to TS Section 5.6 for clarity regarding storage of the two fuel types in specified separate locations. We have chosen to add clarifying statements to TS Section 5.6 to ensure that the TS is applicable to the TRIGA reactor fuel and AGN-201M reactor fuel and start up source.
This current submission (Supplement 5) supersedes the proposed TS Section 5.6 contained in our letter of March 18, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16078A392). The revised TS page for Section 5.6 is enclosed.

Proposed Technical Specification Change The following replacement Technical Specification change is recommended to support the LAR:
5.6 Fuel Storage Applicability This specification applies to the following: 1. Storage of TRIGA reactor fuel at times when it is not in the reactor core. 2. Storage of AGN-201M reactor fuel and start up source in the NSC fuel storage vault. Objective The objective is to ensure that fuel that is being stored will not become critical and will not reach an unsafe temperature.
Specifications 1. All fuel elements and fueled devices shall be stored in a geometrical array for which the k-effective is less than 0.8 for all conditions of moderation and reflection. 2. Irradiated fuel elements and fueled devices shall be stored in an array, which will permit sufficient natural convection cooling by water or air such that the fuel element or fueled device temperature will not exceed design values. 3. Possession of the AGN-201M fuel, byproduct material, and AGN-201M neutron start up source is restricted to receipt, possession, but not for use in the operation of the NSC reactor. 4. There shall be no introduction of any additional SNM to the fuel storage vault, while the AGN-201M SNM is stored in the fuel storage vault.
Basis The limits imposed by Specifications 5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.6.3, and 5.6.4 are conservative and ensure safe storage.
