An increase on the demand of services has led to the -consideration of reactor upgrading, for which a project has been proposed. This project includes the modification of the reactor core, using FLIP type (Erbium loaded, 70% U-235 enriched) fuel elements and the upgrading of the control - console which implies a careful analysis of the Safety -considerations involved in the system modification. In this paper, a brief description is given of: The modifications intended; Pre-operational tests for the system components to be modified; The safety report needed for the licensing of the upgraded reactor; The project management and evaluation.
