Nine colleges and universities have participated to the present date in the Reactor Sharing Program. Fifty-nine students supervised by twelve faculty members have performed neutron activation analysis experiments, nuclear engineering experiments, health physics laboratories, and introductions to nuclear research. Neutron activation analysis activities have been performed by students from the University of Akron, Clark Technical College, and Denison University. Nuclear engineering experiments such as approach to critical and control rod calibrations have been completed by the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, the Air Force Institute of Technology, Miami University, and Terra Technical College. Students from Youngstown State University have performed a neutron irradiation damage study. We anticipate additional utilization by the University of Cincinnati, Ohio Northern University, and Northern Illinois University students and faculty during this funding period. We have also enclosed copies of two student laboratory exercises we have developed during this funding period.
