Docket No. 50-243, License No. R-106 In accordance with section 6.7.1 of the OSTR Technical Specifications, we are hereby submitting the Oregon State University Radiation Center and OSTR Annual Report for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
The Annual Report continues the pattern established over the past few years by including information about the entire Radiation Center rather than concentrating primarily on the reactor. Because this report addresses a number of different interests, it is rather lengthy, but we have incorporated a short executive summary which highlights the Center's activities and accomplishments over the past year.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Reactor 0 Operating Status During the operating period between July 1, 2009 and June 30,2010, the reactor produced 1126 MWH- of thermal power during its 1259 critical hours. The new low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel loading continued to provide a neutron fluence consistent with SAR analysis values.
Tables 1V.1 through 1V.3 provide annual energy production, fuel usage and use request data on the original 20% enriched and the 70% enriched (FLIP) cores.
