SUMMARY

This report is intended to detail the pertinent activities related to the Texas A&M University AGN-201M training facility operated by the Department of Nuclear Engineering during the period of June 1, 2019-May 31, 2020. The contents of this report are intended to comply with the requirements of 10 CPR 50 section 50.59 and Section 6.9.1 of the Technical specifications for the facility under license R-23.

This facility is in storage pending installaµon in its final location and resuming operations. When operations resume the main function of this facility will be to provide an operating nuclear system to be used in support of the requirements of nuclear engineering courses, as a research tool, and for operator training. During the reporting period, the AGN-201M reactor was maintained in a storage condition and did not operate.
