United States Geological Survey, TRIGA Research Reactor

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an application for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-113, which authorizes the United States Geological Survey (USGS or the licensee) to operate the USGS Training, Research, Isotope Production, General Atomics (TRIGA) Research Reactor (GSTR) at a maximum steady- state thermal power of 1.0 megawatts (MW). The GSTR is a TRIGA-fueled research reactor located at the Denver Federal Center, in Lakewood, Colorado. If approved, the renewed license would authorize the licensee to operate the GSTR up to a steady-state thermal power of 1.0 MW for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license.
