Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-125, held by the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML, the licensee), which would authorize continued operation of the UML Research Reactor (UMLRR) at a maximum steady-state thermal power of 1.0 megawatt (MW). The UMLRR is a plate- type-fueled research reactor located on the campus of UML, in Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. If approved, the renewed license would authorize UML to continue to operate the UMLRR for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license. The NRC has prepared this environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) to consider the impacts associated with the renewal of the operating license.
