BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 50-252; NRC-2009-0557] University of New Mexico AGN-201M Reactor Notice of Issuance of Renewed Facility Operating License No. R-102 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)has issued renewed Facility Operating License No. R-102, held by the University of New Mexico (the licensee), which authorizes continued operation of the University of New Mexico AGN-201M Reactor (UNMR), located in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The UNMR is a solid homogeneous core research reactor licensed to operate at a steady-state power level of 5 watts thermal power. Renewed Facility Operating License No. R-102 will expire at midnight 20 years from its date of issuance. The renewed 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. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's regulations in Title 10, Chapter 1, “Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency afforded an opportunity for hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing published in the **Federal Register** on December 21, 2009 (74 FR 67927). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice. The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of Facility License No. R-102 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 for license renewal, noticed in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2010 (75 FR 27372), and concluded that renewal of the license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. For details with respect to the application for renewal, see the licensee's letter dated February 21, 2007 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML092170540), as supplemented by letters dated November 9, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML093410385), February 17, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100501007), and November 19, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML103330190).
