We propose to establish the infrastructure needed for a modern nuclear instrumentation laboratory that will attract and instruct students in the methods used for nuclear physics applications. The laboratory will be used for hands on training of personnel with skill sets appropriate for serving the nuclear power fleet, national labs, or technology based industries for the next generation. The focus will be on real time monitors using modern digital equipment and will not focus on control systems which remain analog systems for security reasons.


According to the IAEA, about 40% of the worlds operating nuclear reactors have been had their analog based instrumentation and control systems modernized with digital technology.
