University of Massachusetts Lowell Radiation Laboratory University of Massachusetts Lowell Radiation Laboratory The Radiation Laboratory at University of Massachusetts Lowell serves the Department of Applied Physics among others. The laboratory contains a 1 MW pool-type nuclear research reactor (UMLRR) that has been operating since 1974, a 300 kCi Co-60 gamma ray source, and a 5.5 MV Van de Graaff accelerator. First startup was January 2, 1975. A budget for the reactor is not provided from the university or from the state; funding comes from grants and the United States Department of Energy. The UMass Lowell reactor has been one of the many research reactors to make
