SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The NRC has issued a renewal of
Facility Operating License No. R–125,
held by UML, which authorizes
operation of the UMLRR. The UMLRR is
a plate-type-fueled research reactor
located on the UML campus in Lowell,
Massachusetts. The renewed license
continues to authorize the licensee to
operate the UMLRR at a steady-state
power level up to a maximum of 1000
kilowatts (thermal). Renewed Facility
Operating License No. R–125 will expire
20 years from its date of issuance,
February 3, 2022.
The renewed facility operating license
complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations set
forth in chapter I of title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations. The Commission
has made appropriate findings as
required by the Act and the
Commission’s regulations, and sets forth
those findings in the renewed facility
operating license. The agency afforded
an opportunity for hearing in the Notice
of Opportunity to Request a Hearing
published in the Federal Register on
March 19, 2018 (83 FR 12036). The NRC
received no requests for a hearing
following the notice.
The NRC staff prepared a safety
evaluation report (SER)—Renewal of the
Facility Operating License for the
University of Massachusetts Lowell
Research Reactor related to the renewal
of Facility Operating License No. R–125
and concluded, based on that
evaluation, that the licensee can
continue to operate the facility without
endangering the health and safety of the
public. The NRC staff also prepared an
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact regarding the
renewal of the facility operating license,
published in the Federal Register on
August 4, 2021 (86 FR 41998), and
concluded that renewal of the facility
operating license will not have a
significant impact on the quality of the
human environment.
