In 1950, NC State was home for the first university-based nuclear reactor program in the country, with a nuclear reactor operational by 1953. Today, that first reactor has been de-activated, but a major program for nuclear research is in place. PULSTAR is a 1-MW pool-type nuclear research reactor and has been awarded a major grant from the US Department of Energy. We will tell this little-known history and how it has affected power development in North Carolina.
