Participation in the United States Department of Energy University Reactor Instrumentation Program. Final report, September 1990--August 1993

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 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) University Reactor Instrumentation Program every year since 1990. The monies from this program have been used to purchase new equipment to replace outdated or inadequate safety-related instrumentation used in conjunction with reactor operations. This report documents the equipment purchased and the status of the installation and use of this equipment from September 1990 through August 1993. This report constitutes the final report for this project period
