[ In-Person Visits and Tours | Virtual Tours and Activities | Labs and Demonstrations | Mail ]
In-Person Visits and Tours
We offer free in-person tours and labs to educational groups. If you would like to visit the reactor for a tour and/or a lab please fill out a Tour Request Form . We will try to get back to you within 3 business days. Please give us at least a week's notice for requested tour dates, otherwise we may not be able to accomodate your tour. For more information email us at [email protected] . Note: In general, we do not offer tours to individual members of the public, or groups that are not associated with educational institutions or programs fulfilling an educational mission.
The tour lasts about 1 hour, and covers a wide range of topics, such as the basics of reactor physics, our operator training program, and the research we do. Tours can easily be tailored for many different age groups and levels of education, from about sixth graders to adults. In addition to tours, we offer a variety of labs , listed below.
We ask that you limit your group size to 30 people**, and take responsibility for chaperoning any young children. If anyone in your group requires any specific accommodations (such as wheelchair access, a translator, etc.) please let us know beforehand so we can make any arrangements necessary. The minimum age for tours and labs is 10 years old.
** Any tours over Reed's summer break (May 14th to August 25th, 2024) must be 15 people or less.
If any member of your group is sick with a contagious or infectious disease or virus such as the flu, please have them stay home.
We meet visiting groups in the Chemistry Building Lobby. Directions to Reed College can be found here and a campus map can be found here.
When visiting the Reed Reactor:
- You will be asked to leave food and beverage outside.
- You will be asked to leave bags and heavy coats in the hallway.
- You will be asked to print your name in our Visitor Log.
- You may be asked for photo identification if you are 18+.
- You should wear closed-toe shoes.
- You must ask permission before taking photos or video.
- Your tour ends at the scheduled time; if you are late we will not be able to extend your time past the scheduled end-time.
Virtual Tours and Activities
If you are unable to take an in-person tour we have a variety of videos about the reactor:
- A reactor tour video produced by a reactor student (made in 2020, 32 minutes)
- A short Popular Science video (made in 2011, 2 minutes)
- Will and Norm from Adam Savage’s Tested channel visit the reactor (made in 2012, 26 minutes)
- A Reedie Campus Close-Up about the reactor made by two reactor students (made in 2021, 6 minutes)
If you’d like to do a lab at home or in the classroom:
- We filmed a vanadium half-life lab (and worksheet) where students will plot the decay curve of radioactive vanadium and then calculate its half-life.
- We filmed a shielding lab (and worksheet ) where students will analyze how well different materials shield against different types of radiation .
- UC Boulder has created a Build a Nucleus simulator where students can build their own atom and explore radioactive decay. The simulator and associated activities are free to use, although teachers/educators need to register (for free) to access the activity worksheets.
- You can calculate your background radiation dose with this online worksheet .
You can also visit the American Nuclear Society’s website where they have a large variety of classroom resources .
Labs and Demonstrations
These are the labs we do most often. Labs are best suited for six to twelve students, take about 1 hour, and will be run by student staff members.
Vanadium Half-life lab
Students measure the half-life of a short-lived radioisotope. This is our most popular lab and scales well for a variety of age groups.
Silver Dime Lab (Half-Life)
This is a slightly more sophisticated version of the Half-life lab. Allow students to measure the radiation coming off of dimes, which have two simultaneously decaying isotopes of silver. Good for older groups (College and some high school groups). Please note that this lab requires more staffing than the other labs and may not be available.
Detecting Radiation
Student learn good survey technique as you get the opportunity to detect the common sources of radiation from our everyday lives. Good for younger groups (8 th grade and younger).

MSU scientists on nationwide team to digitize crop nutrient management
Contact: Karen Brasher
STARKVILLE, Miss.—As planting season begins, farmers are testing their soil to determine the nutrients needed to grow their crop. Mississippi State scientists and colleagues from nearly 50 universities, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, non-profit organizations and industry partners released a new tool to help decipher the nutrients needed.
Vaughn Reed and Jagmandeep Dhillon, plant and soil sciences assistant professors and scientists in the university’s Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, are members of the national team that built the Fertilizer Recommendation Support Tool, or FRST.
The decision-aid tool provides an unbiased, science-based interpretation of phosphorus and potassium values in soil tests across 40 states and Puerto Rico.
“Soil testing and protocols as well as nutrient recommendations vary by state while the acres of an individual farm may cross state lines,” Reed said. “FRST was developed in response to the pressing need to harmonize soil testing across state boundaries. It represents an improvement in our ability to evaluate soil test correlation.”
Crop specific fertilizer recommendations based on soil tests have a long shelf life, generally only updated every 20 years. FRST is the first national database to archive soil test correlation providing a baseline of data and ensuring the information is not lost as scientists retire, Reed added.
FRST currently stores phosphorus and potassium information, two of the big three in crop fertilization, with nitrogen completing the trio. Phosphorus is a building block of DNA and RNA and helps with root development, increases resistance to disease and contributes to flower development. Potassium controls water regulation and helps plants respond to stress.
The new tool represents a significant advancement in soil testing for phosphorus and potassium and nutrient management that uses data from across the U.S. Researchers hope the tool’s precise soil test calibration might one day contribute to significant annual savings for farmers across the country while also reducing excess nutrient losses to the environment.
“We believe that FRST will not only benefit farmers by improving farm economics and conservation practices but also contribute to global sustainability," Jagmandeep Dhillon said.
While the tool is primarily for researchers, farmers will also benefit by comparing results from the tool to their specific nutrient recommendations.
Nathan Slaton, soil science researcher at the University of Arkansas and a leader on the project said the tool helps anyone interested in calibrating traditional soil tests.
“Anyone can use this web-based tool to check their soil-test-based fertilizer recommendations against the FRST research results relevant to their crop, soils and geographic area.”
The current version of FRST includes data from nearly 2,500 phosphorus and potassium trials for 21 major agricultural crops. In the next phase, FRST will provide research-based phosphorus or potassium rate response information to assist farmers in selecting the minimum fertilizer rate expected to produce maximal crop yield.
Funding for the FRST project has been provided by the USDA-NRCS including the Conservation Innovation Grants, USDA-ARS, USDA-NIFA and OCP North America.
