Texas Agricultural & Mechanical University (Texas A&M) will replace an existing 54-year old compressor to improve reliability of the reactor operation and purchase a liquid scintillator counter to give the facility the ability to perform tritium analysis. Additionally, under Nuclear Regulatory Commission License R-83, Texas A&M will up rate the reactor power from 1 megawatts to 1.5 megawatts and purchase equipment to restore capability to perform Neutron Radiography.
