−	We propose to establish the infrastructure for ~~a modern nuclear~~ educational platform that will attract and instruct students in instrumentation and control (I & C) methods to serve the nuclear power fleet, national labs, and technology based industries for the next generation. The emphasis will be the use of real time digital instrumentation in both an education and research environment. Our objective will be to use the support from this proposal to construct 5 education stations and one end station for high neutron fluence based research containing the digital technologies used in national research labs and industry. According to the IAEA, about 40% of the worlds operating nuclear reactors have modernized their analog based instrumentation and control systems with digital technology. We believe our proposal will establish a practical modern instrumentation training facility in support of the NEUP's mission to further NS&E R&D and education.	+	We propose to establish the infrastructure for an educational platform that will attract and instruct students in modern nuclear instrumentation and control (I & C) methods to serve the nuclear power fleet, national labs, and technology based industries for the next generation.

 modern instrumentation laboratory and end station to educate students, pooled from ISU's NS&E programs as well as INL's nuclear workforce, with instrumentation and control (I & C) skill sets that support the nations intellectual dependence on Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Science.  In addition to adding a practical training element to the continuing education program between ISU and the Idaho National lab,  the modern instrumentation laboratory can facilitate the exchange of knowledge between current members of the workforce and those seeking to enter it.
