There were no changes in facility design, performance characteristics, or operating procedures related to reactor safety during the reporting period.The AGN-201M Reactor Facility is an essential part of our educational program, including public education, and continues to serve us well. The use of the reactor from July of 2013 through June of 2014 was as follows: Type of Use July 13 -June 14 July 13 -June 14 Hours Watt-hours Class Demonstrations 0.0 0.0 Faculty Research 9.1 41.32 Graduate Student Research 0.0 0.0 Maintenance and Equipment Check 28.0 0.0 Operator Training and Requalification 20.5 44.12 Teaching 97.85 233.56 Totals for the Year 155.45 318.99 During the annual maintenance in August 2013, we checked the detector cans and found the poly containers for Channel 1, Channel 2, and Channel 3 to be in good condition.
The poly containers appear to be holding up well in the water environment.
All detector cans will be inspected again as part of the 2014 annual maintenance.
AGN-201 13-14 Report, Page 2 There were no changes to the facility as it is described in the application for license and amendments thereto, nor were there any changes to the procedures as described in Facility Technical Specifications.
No new experiments were performed during the reporting period.There were no 10 CFR 50.59 issues during the reporting period. During the reporting period, there was no liquid radioactive waste released from the facility nor was there any solid waste released.
There were no environmental radiation surveys performed outside the facility.All personnel exposures during the reporting period were below 50 mrem per person with the majority of personnel receiving below 5 mrem. No facility visitors received measurable exposures.
The current personnel assignments are (as of July 1, 2014): Chair, Department of Nuclear Engineering Reactor Administrator Chief Reactor Supervisor USNRC-licensed Senior Reactor Operators USNRC-licensed Reactor Operators Anil K.

The makeup of the Reactor Safety Advisory Committee as of June 30, 2014 is: James Bryson'Charles Harmon II Ron Knief Ted Schmidt David Summers Darren Talley There are currently no vacant positions on the committee.
AGN-201 13-14 Report, Page 3 The University of New Mexico's AGN-201M reactor continues to be used extensively for teaching experiments as a part of our undergraduate and graduate programs.
These experiments include approach-to-critical, reactor period and reactivity measurements, importance functions measurements, sample activation, control rod calibrations, and reactor power and neutron fluence measurements.
The reactor is also used throughout the Fall, Spring and Summer sessions of the University.
All experiments have received prior approval from our Reactor Safety Advisory Committee.
