AGN-201M Nuclear Reactor Laboratory

The AGN-201M Nuclear Reactor Laboratory has a 5 W AGN-201M nuclear reactor used primarily in an undergraduate laboratory course which teaches fundamentals of nuclear reactor operations and interactions of neutrons with matter and lets students conduct experiments on basic reactor physics parameters. In addition, the laboratory has a subcritical assembly for studying the neutron flux profile in a nuclear system and a graphite pile for examining the neutron thermalization process. The laboratory facilities are used nearly exclusively to support education programs rather than research.
