This week, reactor staff and students celebrated 60 years of operation at the Walthousen Reactor Critical Facility. The RCF first achieved criticality on August 26, 1956. At the time it was owned by the American Locomotive Company. Since 1963, RPI has been using this unique asset for research, teaching, and training.
Learn more about the RCF here and here.

Here’s to the years of research and teaching yet to come!
