Purdue University Reactor Number One

The Purdue University Reactor Number One (PUR-1) is a research reactor in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States. It is used primarily for teaching purposes in Purdue University's School of Nuclear Engineering. Built in 1962, the PUR-1 is the first and only nuclear reactor operating in the US state of Indiana.
==Design==
In April 1961, Purdue University selected Lockheed Corporation to build its research reactor after twelve companies submitted bids.〔 It was installed underground, three stories beneath the Duncan Annex of Purdue's Electrical Engineering Building.〔〔 The reactor first achieved criticality on August 30, 1962, and a dedication ceremony was held on September 27 of that year.〔〔 The construction cost was $125,000.〔
The PUR-1 was the first nuclear reactor in Indiana.〔 Another reactor was later installed at the planned Marble Hill Nuclear Power Plant in Jefferson County but was removed when construction of the plant halted in 1984. As a result, the PUR-1 is currently the only reactor in the state.〔
The Purdue reactor was among the first to be designed mainly for student use.〔 It is licensed to produce up to one kilowatt of thermal power, comparable to the energy demand of a hair dryer or a toaster.〔 This low power makes it safer and less expensive than reactors designed for research or electricity generation.〔 The reactor's core is two cubic feet (0.057 m3) in volume and sits at the bottom of a seventeen-foot-deep (5.2 m) cooling pool of water that measures eight feet (2.4 m) in diameter.〔 This allows the core to be safely viewed while it is operating.〔
