Title: Participation in the United States Department of Energy Reactor Sharing Program

Abstract

The University of Virginia Reactor Facility is an integral part of the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering and is used to support educational programs in engineering and science at the University of Virginia and at other area colleges and universities. The University of Virginia Research Reactor (UVAR) is the highest power (two megawatts thermal power) and one of the most utilized university research reactor in the mid-Atlantic states. A major objective of this facility is to support educational programs in the region. The University of Virginia has received support under the US Department of Energy (DOE) Reactor Sharing Program every year since 1978 to assist in meeting this objective. This report documents the major educational accomplishments under the Reactor Sharing Program for the period September 1991 through August 1992. This report is also to final report under this contract. Previous annual reports should be consulted if any information from those periods is desired. Additional information about the programs conducted at UVA under this contract may be found in the yearly requests for additional funds which have been submitted.

  • The University of Virginia Reactor Facility is an integral part of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics (to become the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering on July 1, 1992). As such, it is effectively used to support educational programs in engineering and science at the University of Virginia as well as those at other area colleges and universities. The expansion of support to educational programs in the mid-east region is a major objective. To assist in meeting this objective, the University of Virginia has been supported under the US Department of Energy (DOE) Reactor Sharing Programmore » since 1978. Due to the success of the program, this proposal requests continued DOE support through August 1993.« less
  • The University of Virginia Research Reactor (UVAR) is the highest power (two megawatts thermal power) and one of the most utilized (total power production in 1984 was over 5600 megawatt-hours) university research reactor in the mid-Atlantic states. In addition, a second, small (50 watt) reactor is also available for use in educational and research programs. This report documents the major educational accomplishments under the Reactor Sharing Program for the period September 1984 through August 1985.
