SUBJECT:

RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE - NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000225/2019202

Dear Dr. Ji:

From August 12-16, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a security inspection at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute research reactor. The inspection included a review of activities authorized for your facility.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to the common defense and security, compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and compliance with the conditions of your license. The inspector reviewed your physical security plan, observed the physical security features at your facility, and interviewed personnel. Based on the results of this inspection, no security concerns or non-compliance with NRC requirements 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 will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. However, because of the security-related information contained in the inspection report, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d), a copy of the inspection report will not be available for public inspection. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Mr. Michael Takacs at (301) 415-2042 or electronic mail at Michael.Takacs@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Anthony Mendiola, Chief Research and Test Reactors Oversight Branch Division of Licensing Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
