Laboratory at Kansas State University serves as a center for undergraduate and graduate education dedicated to research and development of innovative radiation detector technologies. One of the largest and most diverse university- based laboratories of its kind, government and corporate sponsors including the U.S. DOD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), NSF, and U.S. DOE, have contributed more than $16M in extramural research support since its inception in 1997. A new class-100 clean room, largely funded and supported by DTRA, was dedicated in October. Under the direction of Douglas McGregor, professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering, this 1,000-square- foot facility will be used to fabricate radiation detectors and develop Kansas State University holds the distinction of being the third nuclear engineering program founded in Douglas McGregor, center front, and the S.M.A.R.T.
