Nuclear Regulatory Commission November 28, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an application for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-129, which authorizes the University of Texas at Austin (the licensee) to operate the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory (NETL) Training, Research, Isotope Production, General Atomics (TRIGA) Research Reactor at a maximum steady-state thermal power of 1.1 megawatts (MW). The NETL research reactor is a TRIGA-fueled research reactor located at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus, in Austin, Texas. If approved, the renewed license would authorize the licensee to operate the NETL TRIGA Research Reactor up to a steady-state thermal power of 1.1 MW for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license. Because the license renewal application contains sensitive unclassified non- safeguards information (SUNSI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation.
