SUBJECT: NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY - U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SECURITY-RELATED INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-297/2017-202

Dear Dr. Hawari:

From May 24-26, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, or Commission)

conducted a security inspection at your PULSTAR Nuclear Research Reactor Facility. The inspection included a review of activities authorized for your facility.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, as well as compliance with the conditions of your license. The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. Based on the results of this inspection, no safety concerns or non-compliances with NRC requirements were identified. No response to this letter is required.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390, "Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's document system (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related items contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d), a copy of our inspection report will not be available for public inspection. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Johnny Eads at 301-415-0136 or by electronic mail at Johnny.Eads@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
