The project analyzed other universities’ submetering strategies through three case studies, WPI’s current infrastructure via collaboration with Facilities, and the WPI community’s desire for the implementation of such a system through a survey of students and staff. An energy monitoring system would enable savings through other projects that would be difficult or impossible without the data provided by an energy monitoring system
Nuclear reactors are useful for more than just power-they are the practical neutron sources, but ... more Nuclear reactors are useful for more than just power-they are the practical neutron sources, but are held back by their large size and prohibitive cost. Neutron sources are essential for academic research, medical isotope generation, and allow for advanced imaging. This project attempts to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel reactor, designed for academic use. The safety features are inspired by Generation-IV reactor designs and thus is designed to be passively safe and proliferation resistant. The Geometrically Optimized Flux Reactor (GOFR) is a small device, approximately 8 cubic meters in volume, and has neutron flux that can exceed much larger reactors. This combination of size, safety, and beam flux makes GOFR ideal for a variety of applications and institutions.
