Funding
The U.S. DOE has provided infrastructure support for university research reactors through NEUP funding. This financial boost has stemmed the tide of decommissioning TRTRs across the country. With over 80 similar facilities at one point, the number of nonpower utilization facilities has now fallen to under 30. Infrastructure support was used at the Purdue University Reactor (PUR-1) to replace a noise plagued control system with a fully digital RCS and RPS in 2016. The LAR is currently undergoing review by the U.S. NRC [1]. When the LAR is granted, the PUR-1 will become the first NRC licensed reactor with an all-digital RCS and RPS.
