Nuclear101.com and UMLRR Online
The purpose of the nuclear101.com
website is to serve as an educational resource for students, instructors,
and working professionals who are interested in the nuclear engineering
field. We hope to make nuclear101.com
a significant web-based resource for a variety of nuclear science
and engineering educational materials. The primary focus is on nuclear
reactor physics, reactor operations, and the modeling and analysis
of nuclear systems. The unique aspect of this site is that it provides
a direct link to data from the UMass-Lowell research reactor (UMLRR)
-- a real operating research reactor that can provide real data
to illustrate many of the basic concepts needed in the design and
operation of any nuclear system. Direct access to archived data
from the reactor (power level, flow rate, various temperatures,
etc.) can be used to illustrate the actual operation of the UMLRR
facility, as well as highlight some specific aspect of the underlying
physics of a particular process. In addition, direct access to real-time
operating data from the UMLRR is also provided -- which allows a
user to view reactor operational data, in real time, as an experiment
or demonstration is being performed.
All this capability is provided for educational purposes
only. As such, we have limited access to most of the material on
the site by requiring a user login procedure to activate the various
links given under the main navigation menu at the top of each web
page. In addition, because of the limited number of users that can
actually login and view the real-time portion of the site at the
same time, a second login process is required to access the UMLRR
Online link. Thus, a two-step procedure is required
-- one login for general access to most of the archived material
on the website and a second, application-specific login when you
start the InduSoft Web Studio software that provides direct real-time
communication from the UMLRR.
To facilitate the management of user accounts, we
ask that individual students who are interested in this website
make requests through an appropriate instructor -- so that we can
keep the number of user accounts to manageable levels. If you are
an instructor or a working professional and you feel that access
to this website and the UMLRR Online
capability would be beneficial to you and/or your students, please
fill in the form given below. We will evaluate your request and
respond with further information as soon as possible:
