Wilbur Nuclear Reactor Facility (License R-61), I am submitting the Annual Operating Report for 2010.

The WPI reactor is a non-power, university-based, teaching reactor. Prior to its shutdown two and a half years ago at the end of June 2007, it was used primarily inthe academic mission of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, primarily for the instruction of students and occasionally for research.
