Security Enhancements Completed at Ohio State's Nuclear Reactor Lab
Posted:
The design and construction of numerous voluntary security enhancements for The Ohio State University Nuclear Reactor Laboratory have been completed. The upgrades were funded at more than $950K as a part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI), which is managed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
These voluntary upgrades have improved the security of the laboratory beyond its previous state, which was already sufficient per regulations. Among the many upgrades was an addition to the Nuclear Reactor Lab (NRL) that includes a foyer, reception area and restrooms. Professor Tom Blue, who is the director of the Nuclear Reactor Lab, stated, "This addition will allow the NRL to admit guests in a more orderly and secure manner."
