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.
