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.
DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in this notice are available on August 4, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction The NRC is considering renewal of Facility Operating License No. R125,

which authorizes the licensee to operate the UMLRR, located on the campus of UML in Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at a maximum steadystate thermal power of 1.0 MW. The renewed license would authorize continued operation of UMLRR for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license. UML
submitted its renewal application by letter dated October 20, 2015. UML
subsequently supplemented its renewal application as described under Identification of the Proposed Action in Section II of this notice. Therefore, as required by section 51.21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 10
CFR, Criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessments, the NRC prepared this EA. Based on the results of the EA, the NRC did not identify any significant impacts from the proposed action i.e., license renewal and is, therefore, issuing a FONSI in accordance with 10 CFR
51.32, Finding of no significant impact.
II. Environmental Assessment Facility Site and Environs The UMLRR is a heterogeneous open pool non-power reactor that has been in operation since January 1975 for teaching and research purposes. The reactor is licensed to operate at a thermal power of 1.0 MW, and is located on the North Campus of UML, which includes classrooms, offices, and other facilities in an area just north of the Middlesex River.
The UMLRR is housed in a steelreinforced concrete building. The reactor itself is situated in an open pool, which serves as part of the primary coolant loop as well as moderator, coolant, and shielding. The reactor will be fueled with uranium-silicide and uranium-aluminide low-enriched uranium fuel elements. Waste heat is dissipated via forced-convection cooling at full power, although the reactor can also be cooled via natural convection at lower power levels. A double loop coolant system transfers waste heat from the reactor to the atmosphere via the primary coolant system, heat exchanger, a secondary cooling system, and a cooling tower. Makeup water is provided through municipal water supply city of Lowell. An Area Radiation Monitoring System continuously monitors gamma and beta radiation levels at locations in the UMLRR facility. A Stack Radiation Monitoring System continuously monitors air exiting the facility through the ventilation system exhaust stack for
