AGN-201 Nuclear Reactor

Idaho State has one of three operable AGN-201’s within the US, providing a unique learning opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students alike. The AGN-201m nuclear reactor is a low-power research reactor. The reactor is licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to operate at a maximum of 5 watts.This facility has a history of working with many companies to perform experiments with other entities such as INL, UltraSafe Nuclear Corp, and others. Students at Idaho State University have a unique opportunity to perform experiments using the AGN-201m reactor for master’s or PhD theses. A course is offered to train students to become NRC licensed reactor operators (RO) for the facility.
