Academic Laboratories

• AREVA Radiation Detection Laboratory - The detection laboratory is used by students in both the nuclear and radiological & medical physics programs. The laboratory consists of six complete experimental stations of radiation detectors and electronics as well as other associated equipment used during the class.
• Southern Nuclear Radiation Physics Laboratory - The radiation physics laboratory is used in a senior level laboratory class to condut radiation and reactor physics experiments. The laboratory consists of a natural uranium and graphite sub-critical assembly and associated neutron sources and electronics.

• NRE Student Computer Cluster - The NRE Student Computer Cluster has 12 individual workstations for undergraduate and graduate students to complete assigned classroom projects. On each computer is common Math, Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering software for students use.

Research Laboratories

The nuclear and radiological engineering and medical physics programs have diverse amount of research laboratories to conduct experimental as well as computational research. Some of the noted research laboratories are:

• Neutron Reference Field Laboratory - A large high-bay laboratory with multiple neutron sources and assemblies can be use to create reference neutron spectra for use in neutron detector and dosimetry research
• High Speed Computing Laboratory - A dedicated cold room to many of the programs parallel computational clusters
• Thermoluminscent Detector Laboratory - A dedicated laboratory to the preparation and analysis of thermoluminscent detectors

• PWR Axial Offset Anomaly Test Facility - Test loop designed to operate at prototypical PWR primary loop conditions. Facility simulated conditions corresponding to crud deposition and boron precipitation on fuel rods and examines various practical solutions aimed at preventing AOA

• Microchannel Test Facility - Facility aimed at simulation single and two-phase phenomena in high heat flux systems such as accelerator targets, compact fission reactor cores and fusion first walls. Among the phenomena investigated are: two-phase flow instability, critical heat flux, single-phase forced convection, two-phase pressure drop, and two-phase flow regimes.

• Oscillating Jet Test Facility - Facility aimed at investigating the fluid dynamic aspects of liquid jets for inertial fusion first wall protection schemes. Facility operated at prototypical oscillation frequencies Reynolds, Weber, and Froude numbers for liquid sheets. Among the phenomena investigated are jet surface smoothness, droplet (mist) formation, and nozzle design optimization.
• Plasma-facing Components Thermal-hydraulic Test Facility - Facility aimed at testing gas-cooled diverters for magnetic fusion reactor applications.
